I really like the music and the animation of the bacteria.
It would be nice if the graphics were a bit more trippy, so it would fit the pace and the music more.
It also got repetitive pretty fast.
Overall a nice submission!

Thanks for your comments, we're sorry it didn't work for you. Just in case you see this comment, could you give us some more information?
Was the 'ok' button not visible or just not clickable? What browser did you use?

Thanks for your reports, we've added a fixed version. Turns out Firefox (or Chrome) handles mouse coordinates differently. All should work fine now. :)

Congratulations :)
What I liked :
- Theme interpretation
- peaceful mood (while exterminating the world :D)
What imo could be improved :
- Graphics are pretty basic, easy wins : add a textured background, desaturate color, use "danger" colors or symbols for the pils (ex: red toxic logo), choose a medical themed text font. For +++ : use actual food representation (even if doesn't make a lot of sense at a bacteria scale, it's prettier for the player and improve clarity)
- The game is a bit slow, but I'm not sure how fastening it would affect the mood so just an improvement idea but not sure if a good one.
Very good overall, thanks for the game !
The soundtrack, together with the minimalistic graphics style, creates a pretty relaxing mood, which feels awesome!
After some time it gets a bit repetitive, though. And there could be a better way to kill the mutated bacteria. :P
But great work here, man! :)
Simple yet amazing work. well done! Are there any other amusing games of yours online?
