Amazing game for a good 10 or 20 minutes(For those competitive enough even hours) 4/5 I would suggest adding more deph to the game such as perks(Achieved when you "Grow" something) that give slight bonuses. Or perhaps a campaign mode like what CellCraft did would work well as a sequel. If you REALLY want to make people learn stuff, I highly reccomend making a campaign mode with perks and force people to watch a cutscene with a short but enjoyable education. I know CellCraft helped me that way in school and I enjoyed it!

I watched as the blood red spike arced through the golden orb... It changed before my eyes as if bleeding from the inside out as it turned red itself... Like watching a dear friend die before my eyes... shit.

could become way easier and funny to play if you take proteins by mouse-overing them, and not clicking on.Mouse-over would make the player think faster and get rid of miss-clicking!

"Oh, I wonder what this game is about. Hmmm, nice graphics, nice gameplay...oh I died. What kind of cell am I??? Wait...this game is educational...ahhhhh, ExploreWellcome, you tricked me!"

The trick: pay actual attention at what are you doing, taking care non to put yourself in a corner;
purple bonus is the moment you should madly clicking to the top of the screen;
use green only to escape red;
blue is a moment to relax, not only it stops red but it prevent them from spawning;
yellow is your priority, when faced with a choice of bonuses, go for it.

Magma__: They are different things, and bulletbill23 correctly stated "cell". Neurons are cells. They are not nerves (neurons makes nerves, along with other non-neuronal cells)

86,771 micrometers, oh yeeeaaahhh. Granule cell? What's that? *clicks link* "Granule cells are the smallest cells found in the brain and are an extremely small type of neuron." God d*** it.

The rival neurons are such assholes... You're about to take a free protein and they pop out of nowhere are all like, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

I feel proud of the nerves in my body for having to fight so much to grow. +1 rating for the concept and the additional info and video on the side.

Perhaps red neurons could appear further ahead rather than right in front of you. It is somewhat annoying to have the game ended when a red neuron suddenly appears on screen and takes all of the nodes within range of the one I just connected to.

I just built a 74,349 micrometer long chain, then managed to click outside the screen so I went to desktop, and lost.

Excellent game. Fast paced, beautiful graphics, catchy music, well-balanced, challenging. In the line of Canabalt and Escape... with the mouse. On top of this, science links. I learn new things everyday.
Going on the sides when you're competing with red neurons isn't always a good thing, you may reach a dead end.

Everything is impressive from a certain scale, and absolutely insignificant from another. When you are a neuron, being 20mm long is an achievement, but I still don't get the 30-points badge until I'm 75mm.

You know what's bad, when you get one of those green things, and then it forces you into a place where you can get no proteins.

The trick: I've furiously clicked without a stop in the generic direction of non-red neurons, without ever caring to aim properly. Of course, get as many power ups as possible. It doesn't matter which one you get, as long as you do not change your path just to get them.

I'd like to see multiplayer version of this. Something like race, or the thing with red cells growing. That would be hell fun
