Thanks for including me in testing through its development! Solid overall entry. Graphics are pretty solid throughout, though definitely easiest to digest on level 1. They could stand for enemies and hosts to pop a bit more on 2 and 3 -- maybe more contrast between NPCs in level 2 and hosts could stand out against the background a bit more in level 3. Great job nailing both themes! See you at the next meet-up!"},{"author_name":"maunovaha","author_uid":"41499","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 4:23pm","epoch":1450196280,"text":"Solid entry, I was skeptical at first whether it's a good game or not, but then I ended up playing it through. :D.. nicely done, one of the best "growing" theme games I have played today."},{"author_name":"DustyStylus","author_uid":"15902","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 4:24pm","epoch":1450196340,"text":"Very well put together! Almost impossible with my trackpad (macbook), will have to plug in a mouse later and try again. (curious to see the bigger scale bits) :)"},{"author_name":"justinooncx","author_uid":"38380","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 4:30pm","epoch":1450196700,"text":"A surprisingly relaxing and tense game at the same time. The graphics are too small to make out details, though, and clicking on such tiny targets that move so fast is annoying."},{"author_name":"Weloxux","author_uid":"49059","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 4:38pm","epoch":1450197180,"text":"Really liking the variety between the levels. The virus becomes bigger, and you go from destroying cells to destroying tanks, which is a really nice touch. The music was good too, although after a while it became a bit too repetitive to my taste. The controls were fun, but slightly hurtful for my hands, but other than that, good stuff."},{"author_name":"Blake_Lead","author_uid":"60780","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 6:03pm","epoch":1450202280,"text":"Nice game ! well done.

Very interesting and fun implementation. Maybe a splash radius for killing enemies would have been nice. Very difficult on a 4k screen.

Feel like the click area and feedback could be a little better. Get hard when you have some different areas growing.
