Wish things moved a bit faster. Also, don't really understand what I'm supposed to do when the "enemy" mold shows up. You reach the limit of what you can cover it with when there is a sliver of mold left."},{"author_name":"zybit","author_uid":"51396","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 10:53am","epoch":1450090080,"text":"Cool effects for the mold.

I wish there were more indicators letting me know i was doing things correctly. Like the eye of the fish changing colors.

Plus I gave up when the opposing mould appeared. At first I thought it was just who got the most but then I realised you could destroy them and waited for at least 5 minutes for this one little patch to just die but it wouldn't."},{"author_name":"Tijn","author_uid":"49432","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 8:57pm","epoch":1450126320,"text":"I barely understand what I'm doing or what's going on, but I just sat here, staring at it grow, for like 20 minutes :D\r\rIt looks very pretty.

I'm curious about how you did pathfinding, and what the lines between the mold dots represented. Also, fighting other mold is pretty tough (Especially that Turkey Level); I don't know if I gather strength by growing larger, or whether I'm supposed to just click on spots and hope I can overcome them by brute force. It seems like there's some neat stuff going on under the hood, but the game doesn't provide much feedback about it to let me choose my next move, other than watching my mold grow and some very pleasant sounds.\r\rAll in all, I had fun with this. Thanks for putting it together."},{"author_name":"josefnpat","author_uid":"11249","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 1:48am","epoch":1450143780,"text":"Very nice use of shaders.
