The "end turn" button doesn't work for me. OS X 10.11.

@steve-johnson You need to hold the control key to use the GUI

Either I'm terrible at it or the game is really hard.
Seeing the enemies move is cool, but it gets a little boring when there are 20+ enemy cells.
Is there a reason you made it so you have to press CTRL to end your turn? It's a little weird and might confuse people.

Neat little game though and having an intro at all is already impressive :)

@zirrrus The control key being pressed is just in case you'd like to move your cell to a spot under the next turn button, without pressing next turn by mistake.

YES! I PURPOSELY MADE THE GAME SUPER HARD :) It is beatable though. You just need a great strategy.

Nice game, but I think the game needs to be balanced, I could not even win once. The fact that the black cells can split just seems too unfair and the items don't seem to compensate this advantage of the enemies.
