I quite like this... I had no problem with the interface of course (save for not expecting to have to read instructions outside of the game), but if you were to update it, maybe consider an instructions page or adding clickable buttons? Say, a full restart/grid/quality/mute/zoom row in the close-up view and a little zoom icon in the zoomed out view? Perhaps even make a button/key to toggle the buttons. Either that or copy the instructions text into the game. Other than that, a level editor and Kong API stuff would be nice.

Good game and very hard! good music too and for the people who can't read: press 'm' to mute. (Why am I typing something for people who can't read? :S )
anywayz 5/5 :D

@ Vitafer: Try reading the instructions JUST above the comments... "...M to toggle Mute..." It says it right there, and yeah...too bugged. 1/5 for me also.

Love the game, hard at lvl 7 or so, and very original. Also love the menu! Could probably be better, but who cares? Love it anyway!

For those who are having issues with the game; RTFM! For those of you that are having problems with the levels, I had created a walkthrough in the forums that is now buried somewhere.

A good game, with just perfect levels for each number.
Rating : 4.7/5
The music is a little distracting with those sudden booms. No offense. But on the bright side, its nice.
Music : 3.8/5
The background is distracting, with typing at the starting. I recommend easily distracted people to wait for a few seconds so that it can 'type' out.
Background : 3.4/5

Sorry for the double post (Edit button, Kongregate?) but it's also counter-productive to insult your audience in your updates. No matter how abusive their being. Also, it should be BY keyboard, not MY keyboard (typo in my last post). Also, are random experiments ALWAYS solvable? Maybe I just can't figure this one out... :P

Really liked this game. And I actually really like the menu system as well. I was entertained by the pickup lines in the background. I read them while I was waiting for a particularly long transfer to occur. Sound could use improvement.. I turned it off as soon as I was able. I didn't mind the 'Specie' flying off into infinity. It kind of made it obvious I'd screwed up :P (Hitting R really isn't that hard people. Really?) All in all though, it COULD use some improved code, new music, and maybe make the menus navigable my keyboard OR mouse, to please the lazy types. Also, a level editor would be an awesome addition. I could see a lot of cool stuff done with the lines left behind by the 'Specie'. 3/5 so far, but I hope to see it improved!) (Also, badges/achievements??)

The background text is obnoxious, and the menu interface for disabling it is even more obnoxious. No menu should have a freaking learning curve, and it's possible to escape the menu and drift into nothingness, which can only be solved by resetting, which completely cancels out any feeling of "cleverness" that you might have been trying to create by using the game mechanics for navigating the menu. I consider this a serious design flaw, so 2/5 until it's fixed.

the nerdy pickup lines in the packground are actually better than the actual game. game gets a 4/5, pick up lines would get 5/5, unfortunately for you, I'm not actually grading the pick up lines.

I love it and have 2 levels I can't do...13 and 14 I think. My only problems with it are the music is just annoying and you either have to have little tiny animals or not see the whole thing.

Great game, through the levels are too linear. =)
Note: You can disable the music and the background text in the options!

Good game. There's a glitch in the menu though. Once you go to experiments then go north-west then your snake will keep going and no reset :( 4/5

Great gameplay. got bored after level 7 though but i love it and the levels are designed very well. keep up the good work

Absolutely love the pickup lines in the background. Could make it clearer that you have to restart when your creature exits the level, though.

Dear SirRealism, you're absolutely great. I'm playing this game, and I have to say it's really great, a puzzle game with a unique and interesting concept - and obviously, amazing gameplay. As soon as I finish the experiments mode, I'll try some random ones and then try your other 2 games.

Only thing bothering me are the frigging texts runnning in the background. Otherwise awesome game. Makes me laugh and is good activity for the brain, not too easy and not too hard.

Really clever game, I love it. It's just a shame so many people here can't read. With that in mind though, you need to make the controls more obvious; put them in game, maybe have help text that is unobtrusive but always there, so people always know the commands.
