3/5 -3 for mechanics and luck factor importance. +1 for educational value. Main problems with game are basically not knowing if the proteins you currently see will still be there when you get close enough. I clicked on one protein and there wasn't any proteins in range other than the one I was just on (not even red ones or faded ones). Pulling out to see the whole structure would be nice. Numbering proteins for a countdown to tell time until they'll be useless would be good (or explanation in tutorial as to why and when they fade). I feel like controlling the direction could be better. Easier difficulty could have arrow keys or follow mouse function. Harder difficulty could shrink the area you can go to next with each click. Just some ideas I thought of.

Wow, this is a really fun game! AND I barely got the Nerves of Steel Hard badge...seriously, came down to literally 1 minute to spare. First time was 73k, second time was 65k, then finally 83k. SO very close. And trust me, when I was getting up there close to getting 75k, was getting pretty damn nervous. Outstanding game!

I've been trying to do the hard badge for whole yesterday. All it actually required was to start using my double click button...

Is it just me or does this mess with your vision a bit? after i finish a long game my screen always looks like it's very slowly scrolling down.

Many times just as I am about to get to a node the sphere seems to shrink faster, I should have at the Hard badge if it weren't for this....

why the heck are you compeating against your own neurons? I can just imagine an angel (you) on one shoulder and a demon (the competetor)on the other battling for control of your conscience. Very great game, 5/5 Really love the science

I have an issue..every once in a while the game just decides to kill you in one of two manners. Either it spawns a red just ahead of you that takes up all available proteins or you will click on one within your circle and your node just wont move forward...I know its not my mouse because I bought this like two weeks ago.

the conditions for reds to show up are way to random, THEY should only start is dense areas of proteins, yet the means for them to start on the first node after moving a long string of shallow line into it is way to unlucky... yet thats the one thing that will always beat me :/

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!"

20 attempts on trackpad and my highest was 45k. Then i switched to a mouse...and 5 attempts later got the hard badge. Not sure if this was due to luck or the mouse, but it's definitely easier to just keep clicking on a mouse than trackpad. the game involves too much luck. i kept getting blue power ups near the red axons on my winning run.

Click like a maniac, move left (or right) whenever you see red neurons to avoid them, and the hard badge will be yours!!! My record is 78.940 with no chain, 17 forces, 11 ranges, 12 freezes and 725 proteins :D

Kinda disappointed, I FINALLY get the hard badge with a 85k Micrometer neuron and it says I built a Granule cell, "one of the smallest types of neurons". WTH?

Possibly useful tip for anyone stuck trying to get the Hard badge: if you have a gamepad, use a good joy-to-key program and set a button to auto-fire the left mouse button. Then all you have to do is hold down that button and aim the mouse where you want to go. Should help you out-distance most rival neurons as long as you don't get bottle-necked. I'd recommend at least trying it normally first before doing this, since once I finally got frustrated and did this I easily got to 122k.

Ridiculously addicting and frustrating. I would've given this game a 5 if it had a story/plotline or multiplayer mode, and if there was some system of upgrades or perks (or both). Music would've also been nice. As it stands, it's a great time waster and I'm glad I got to experience it. It's also educational! Oh rival neurons, what did I ever do to you to make you always try to cut me off =(
