Cool graphics, but a short how to play description would help.

Really beautiful visuals, and the background track gives nice ambiance chill vibes

Great take on the theme, and gorgeous interactions. It becomes difficult to manage quickly (I'm using a trackpad, sorry!), and I'd love to see mechanics evolve as the camera pans out to a macro level.

the scrolling from itch.io gets in the way a bit ... the art is nice and the concept kinda rare, it feels fluid ... sometimes I just click everywhere and I don't get what just happened ... can I be cheating?

Very nice graphics, love the cute bacteria guys, I think i glitched it out because i kept trying to split quickly so i wouldnt die and everything dissapeared.

Cool music and mood. Unfortunately I'm not sure what I was doing -- at a certain point I stopped growing and I'm not sure if it was because I was doing something wrong. But very pretty!

Awsome graphics and great concept idea. The only thing that i feel like is lacking in this game is some type of change over the course of the game but perfect for now concidering it was made by a team of three :D. Keep up the good work and do not kill the game what you got there but keep working on it and release it :)

Stunning visual and physical components, also ambient music fully complements the feel&look. Nice one :smile:

The game has an annoying bug, sometimes game screen "blinking" :( But nevertheless I really like it! Good relaxing gameplay.

WO! I like this game, it reminds me of our second ld game "Infecteria"! As mentioned before the game sometimes render the bacteria's on the wrong layer and such. The graphics makes the whole game, CUTE!

Nice graphics and music. Took me a while to figure out what was going on. Not enough feedback when growing, it's hard to know how well you're doing. Maybe a score counter would help?
