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)\r<br\/>- 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.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Very good overall, thanks for the game !"},{"author_name":"yuigoto","author_uid":"50909","time":"Dec 26, 2015 @ 7:06pm","epoch":1451156460,"text":"The concept is pretty interesting and with a dose of humor too! ;D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The soundtrack, together with the minimalistic graphics style, creates a pretty relaxing mood, which feels awesome!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>After some time it gets a bit repetitive, though.

Took a couple of goes to complete as first time I didn't originally understand how to kill the mutated bacteria. (You move it into the pills, right?
