It seems like you chose the Jam for an extra day and to not upload your source code but anyway, you could've used downloaded assets in the Jam, that would make the game probably a bit more enjoyable.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It might be fun to play but when teleporters were introduced, the game got a bit annyoing. There is no way to tell which teleporter leads to which other teleporter and the cell often just runs straight back through the teleporter, since it follows the mouse - in the worst case you crash into a wall because of that. You could've color coded the teleporters or something like that, so the player knows where to quickly move the mouse to.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It also would be a nice addition to add a &quot;speed&quot; key, because it's pretty slow, which is fine in some cases but in an open area that doesn't require precision, it's rather annoying.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The idea is nice, the implementation needs some improvement though. You already stated that it's based off agar.io, so there also isn't much innovation but it is quite fitting to the theme.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I don't know the reason why you entered the Jam instead of the Compo but my rating would be much better for a Compo entry."},{"author_name":"KoalaBot","author_uid":"63315","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 7:44pm","epoch":1450121940,"text":"Very cool!  I love the level design requiring you to plan your route before starting.  The teleporters were pretty frustrating since you have a very limited time to move the mouse after discovering where the teleporter dumped you.

Cell is a puzzle game where you have to eat all the red dots in each level to complete it. Each time you eat a red dot you grow larger in size.\r\n\r\nYou can complete levels with trial and error or plan out your route to be able to collect all the dots without growing too large and getting yourself stuck.\r\n\r\nMade with Unity\r\n\r\nUPDATE 1: Teleports are now numbered and have sounds when you go through them.\r\n\r\nUPDATE 2:Thanks for the feedback everyone. If I were to do this again I would probably make the movement click based instead of always moving towards the mouse. As for the teleporters I would probably have the player paused for a moment after passing through a teleport to give them time to actually realise what happened. Lastly I would increase the players speed or have the ability to scroll the mouse wheel to change your speed (limited of course).","title":"Cell"}
