At least I might be. The instructions are vague.

Biomaria: Single player game You create a powerful collection of bacteria called a biofilm The biofilm is based on a collection of various bacterium

The structure of the biofilm is shown in a grid The first bacteria is always centered in the grid Add available bacteria by buying them with Quorum points Add bacteria to biofilm by clicking on a grid box that is next to any existing bacteria Gain quorum points by consuming other bacteria and biofilms

Scenes: Bacteria builder, grid based bacteria editor Colonize: Allows the bacteria to interact with the world, gain points

Bouts are timed sequence of 2 minutes of gathering and defending with the bacteria in the colonize scene. Enemies in the scene are there to be collected, and a few are built from similar parts as the player, according to pre-built designs, and they will also try to kill the player.

If a part of a biofilm is severed from the initial cell, it floats away, this way, it’s possible to be reduced to nothing.

When a biofilm eats, it regenerates cells that are part of it, starting with whatever is closest to the first part.

If there are no bacteria to regenerate, it increases its quorum points.

Bacteria types: Basic: Has mouth, cillia to propel, stores energy, not tough Attack: Has large mouth and spikes Stomach: Stores Energy with extra mitochondria Wall: Is tough Propeller: Has a long propeller style whip thing Dart: Has a dart that it can send into another cell

Hey guys, here's an image of the build screen WIP for making a biofilm out of bacterium in BIOMARIA.

BIOMARIA

You create a powerful collection of bacteria called a biofilm. A biofilm is any group of microorganisms in which cells stick to each other; often these cells adhere to a surface. These adherent cells are frequently embedded within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). Biofilm: extracellular polymeric substance, which is also referred to as slime.

The biofilm is based on a collection of various bacterium which you assemble yourself.

This game is built by Belin Fieldson and Johnny Woolley in a single weekend using all original content. The sound effects were made with mouths and Audacity Game built in Unity

MacOS version is preferred, as it has been bugtested. the windows version is currently suffering from some glitchy behaviors.
