Please give us the password! Even if the game is not ready, I am curious to try your early alpha.

This is a very cool idea :smile: Nice work!
I noticed the camera is very hard to control: my suggestion: don't use the mouse four camera control: maybe have the camera locked behind the bot and control the direction of the bot by buttons?

I like the concept, it fits the theme well. Controls issues aside, I like the idea of moving around bumping into stuff to collect it, I just wish there was more stuff! Be it the components for insulin that you're trying to collect, or things that hurt you or are neutral, I wish it traveled through the bounds of the playable area instead of just in smaller streams. It's a good start/prototype though.

hi! cool idea!! i thought that the game was briliant, but tutirial was a bit unclear and its harder to read instructions when you are constantly coving with a blood stream, nonetheless thank you !

Interesting idea, but it's a little hard to move

I loved the concept, but the controls definitely need work.

A bit hard to work out the controls, but once you get to grips, the game is really cool. As others, love the concept a lot! :O
