Cholesterol by MadreDeDios
Cholesterol. The more you have, the worse it is.
Don't expect this game to be biologically accurate though.

* Anyway, I don't think I can say much as it is. I do really like the take on the theme. The music, slighly annoying but charming. It fits the theme of your game, too. With the bells signifying that you were born and such.
* The particles when you hit the walls are a nice touch.
* I don't think I can suggest anything to make this better really, but I think it could be improved a lot more. Maybe it's just me, but a very light but still friction would make it feel more in the water. Maybe a virus can hinder you, especially in the old ages. Yeah, something progressive. Maybe stack on functionality, like clicking the mouse on a constant pulse to keep you alive WHILE you dodge.
It's a nice fun ride. A decent Ludum Dare game.
My two cents:
- I think it's a bit too difficult to get over 30, specially given that the difficulty ramps exponentially with cholesterol (more enemies = more risk of growing = more probability of picking even more enemies!).
- The donut looks a bit out of contest in the general aesthetics of the game. We're inside the bloodstream, why would there be a donut in there? Not sure on what to suggest, though :(
Congrats!
Suggestion... perhaps a way to shrink the blob?
Congrats on a solid entry.
Great idea and realization. But you could have done it a bit easier, so that the game doesn't end so fast.
But overall great take on the theme and idea. The graphics were nice too!
