According to the game I was already at level 4. Thanks for losing yet ANOTHER saved game when you badge something. It's WAY past time Kong worked out how to fix shit like this. It's gone beyond getting old now.

Okay, how about providing some more proteins when you are alone against 10 other microbes. Your rendered useless, and to top that they are faster than you to begin with.. I feel that this game is getting low score from me.

Love the divide mechanic... find myself doing better when I divide early to starve enemies on some levels, but stay big on others

I loved the game, I just wish it was a little longer. Another thing I would like to see in a possible sequel would be upgrades for your microbe, along with the ability to unlock new microbes.

The worst thing about this game is that it's just total luck as to whether you manage to eat a few proteins early in the game. On higher levels, there are more enemies so you need more luck for proteins to pop up near you. If they do, you're too big to eat so you win; if they don't, one of your enemies eats you.

Game plan: swim around, eating the occasional protein; wait for dumbass opponent to divide; wait; wait; wait; opponent divides; eat opponent; win; next level; same again.

It would be nice to activate speed boost while in pursuit of microbes. I know numbers on keyboard are supposed to correspond to abilities, but how are we supposed to know which when everything is so chaotic? Also the destroy friendly for area damage is way to weak an ability to balance the loss. (if you can even catch your target in the first place) Same goes for switching microbe control. Since mouse controls the movement, it's nearly impossible. Especially when there's no differentiation between the controlled microbe and the rest of your team. After 10 mins or so on lvl 4 with no progress, I had to quit. You should at least integrate keyboard movement if you expect this game to survive. 2/5

Flawed, but fun. Dividing is actively harmful; the game would actually be impossible if the enemy never did so. The player has no real chance of losing as soon as they eat a couple of pellets. Even viruses can be held off indefinitely while waiting for the enemy to split into edible parts. If anything, the last level is easier this way, rather than attempting to dodge every passing virus. Still, it's a nice way to kill twenty minutes, and it's worth a lot of points for its length and difficulty.

This was awful... it's an interesting idea, but it just isn't working. The controls feel way too loose and catching smaller microbes is a chore instead of fun as they just do a 90 degree turn and I miss them. If I were to try this, I'd be killed immediately. Part of the playing field isn't even on the main screen, several times smaller microbes went off screen only to reappear after I left. The music is annoying, while the sounds were adequate. If you have a frantic type game like this, no one is going to have time to mouse-over something IN THE PLAYING FIELD (bad idea in itself) to read what each of them do. I'm sure some were useful, I never got a decent chance to try it. All twelve levels were just boring and the pointless division horse has been beaten to death so I'll leave it. 2/5

No this game IS somewhat impossible. Because it doesn't matter if you never devide. Some levels are ridiculous in the fact that they never STOP dividing. Not to mention your microbe won't eat things even if it's right on top of it. This game is a 2/5 at best for potential. The controls are quite shitty as is the response time. It would be fair if the AI of your divided microbes was equal to the AI of their divided microbes. So I'm just playing this game for the badge of the day. It's not fun it's stupid.

Whew! Lots of cat and mouse going on. When you're crowded by the opposition, sit back and let the viruses take them down for you. A very fun and frantic game to say the least!

''This is a virus. It can infect you. And enemies.'' (Next page) ''And will eventually kill you. :D'' What a happy ending...

the way this game feels you may as well be playing dead drunk. the way you aimlessly try to eat opponents and how they can slither away so easily makes you feel so angry. i think my mouse may be damaged because of this game. 2/5

A simple yet very fun game. I enjoyed every second of this game, yet my only suggestion is to improve the microbe on microbe combat which right now is somewhat hard because you have to touch the center of the enemy microbe to eat it. Maybe an option to set your controls to the keyboard. 9/10

After beating all 12 levels it still said [Beast so far: 10], then I went back from level 11 completeing that and 12, yet I still can't get the badge!

It's very hard to kill anything in this game. You can't lose if you never split, so the stupid AI is the only reason it's possible to win... even so, it's extremely hard to catch all the tiny enemies running around before they grow a bit and become invincible again.

I hate the proteins. They can often spawn where it's impossible to get them, be it the distance, the number of enemies, or the fact it spawns on top of an enemy at times.

Pro tip: Do not divide. Keep eating the particles and wait for the opponents to divide and then eat them one. by. one.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Really, don't divide. I understand the concept of it, as it gives you an extra life, but if you do divide, both halves get eaten up =/
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Well..it's not great..it's not bad. #1 tip. NEVER divide. I'm actually not sure why they even added that feature. To beat every level, don't divide, eat the enemies when you're big enough, and even when you can't eat something, just wait a little bit and it will divide, allowing you to eat both of them. They were pretty lazy when it came to increasing difficulty. Instead of adding new elements, all they did was add more enemies per level..then throw in enemies who can't be infected. Overall not a bad game, but very forgettable. On the + side, I'm now level 51 from getting the badges.

@sawblade120
but the enemies have a chance to spawn big and big ones will try to eat you, and you'd be inside the body only having one option if your captor eats protein, you use a skill called "internal eating" where you eat all the protein the captor gets for 15 seconds, if you get enough food while using this over time to time, you can use a skill called "internal combustion" where it allows the captor to explode allowing you to safely roam with no harm.
Also, you can consume protein (not captive) and allow a skill called "vile disruption" where you shoot a regular virus ball but it'll make it so that when the virus hits one of the walls, or hits contact with an enemy microbe, it'll split into multiple viruses if it hit a enemy microbe and it'll size the microbe down, and the split viruses, will stand there like an egg, and slowly mutate, once done, it'll spawn a mini microbe that has been infected.

Another good tactic to win this game is to wait until viruses arrive , the enemies won't have problems and gladly walk into them while all you have to do is to survive as long as possible. Bigger enemies will outlast more while infected , while the smaller ones die almost immediately , so if they divide they kill themselves. Hope this helps.

@redfo1 you would be actually right if this were a recent game. But please consider that it is an almost 4 year game. Back in 2008 i remember i had quite a good time with this game (even rated it 4/5), but replaying it today doesn't bring half the fun it did.

The last level gets really annoying/boring. Also, that little spin thing the cell does when the mouse gets too close to it is really annoying, and makes it hard to do anything...
