The &quot;don't get too big to fit through passages to deliver the amino acids&quot; idea is neat.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's very pretty, too!"},{"author_name":"R3ason","author_uid":"6105","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 8:37am","epoch":1335169920,"text":"Solid.  Great job!  I definitely think you have a solid base from which you could expand this (perhaps levels where you visit other cellular structures?)

The movement was also very smooth and felt quite good.\r<br\/>I really liked how the bubble streched when moving fast.\r<br\/>The first level was fun and relaxing with these nice colors and the smooth movement.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>1: hint when you lower the scale while shooting you should set the new position by using the center of the big bubble, otherwise it kind of moves up-left a little bit with each shot.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sad that it's unfinished, I really would have liked to hear some matching music (or is it just buggy in chromeium?)."},{"author_name":"TenTonToon","author_uid":"11273","time":"May 6, 2012 @ 4:35pm","epoch":1336321800,"text":"Very interesting concept and execution!
