Liked the art, especially the graphics. Gameplay was a little simple, but enjoyable enough.
Broke my heart to not be able to keep growing, and go full Katamari on the red Microbes; I'd have loved to be able to control splitting, to save it for times of distress. Only briefly made it to 4 Colony Members before getting devoured, but it was a fun challenge. Thanks for putting this together!
That being said, it IS nice that that the game is score-based, since it's harder to keep a large colony. From that perspective it's nicely balanced. Good job to both of you! :)
I've made a little let's play if you want to check it out:
