good idea

execution needs work
overall good but it needs more...atmosphere

Nice!

I love the idea and the basics of the game! Although I beleave itd be better if you put in a warning for when the popper ran out and pulled in the kill line for the ameba seeing as others have said you die even when not touching. And as a bit of extra some sound and maybe a few off set colors long the way would keep it a bit more entertaining.

AKGameworks responds:

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm planning to use pixel based collision dection in the improved version, which should clear up inaccurate collisions. I'm also considering a changing background, how to increase the sounds without increasing the file size, etc..

There's a glitch.

Randomly when you start a game the amoeba will move up and off the screen. Odd glitch.

other than that it was fun, but kind of repetitive.

AKGameworks responds:

Thanks for the bug report! I'm not sure why that happens, but I'll look into it!

Good idea

Maybe a little warning for when the powerup is going to turn off, don't like dying when im not touching the amoebas either, granted i was close but damn...

AKGameworks responds:

In the powerup infotext that appears on the top right, it does change during the last second the powerup is active. However, I think I made the change far too subtle. In Microbe 2 I'll make it flash or get bigger or something to draw the players attention. Thanks for the feedback!

ok...

its a good game but after a little while it got boring but still a 5/5 9/10

AKGameworks responds:

I appreciate the comment... I'm still trying to learn how to tune a game properly.
