WOULD YOU LIKE MISCEO TO BE UPDATED?
I've had some positive feedback, so I was thinking I might make this into something bigger, maybe with a whole body and all (or almost all) organs.
If you'd like me to continue working on MISCEO please let me know with a comment!

Neat, does what it's supposed to and got choice & consequences :)
Controls felt a bit rough but maybe it's intended.
Think the various shapes concept isn't pushed enough overall though.
In any case, good one. Thanks.
I think you did a great job! My wife would love this game. Something tells me you're a biology student/Phd or something... :-)
I love how this game looks. Also I like the fact you put many modes into it. In the blood stream I found things moved too fast and it was too hard to avoid them. Also I would have liked some variation on the sound (or at least that crashing sound playing less often). However these are small issues on what is a very good game.
I quickly could exit over the lungs, didn't have to shapeshift one time. In the middle of the lungs I had bad fps lags. Then in another level I came into the intestinal where I mustn't touch the poop (?) pieces.
But I like the idea of being inside the body.
Really interesting game. I included it in my video compliation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/NeUaByS_1JI
Fun idea but often I couldn't work out what Form I should be using and just used speed to fly through the levels before anything could get me. I enjoyed the concept though and think it could be a pretty nice game with some more polish. Nice job
Interesting and unique concept. Sometimes a level would start and send me straight into a killzone without giving me any chance of survival though. Nice effort, still.
Yeah RealityCheck, perhaps I overused pure random? :D
I'll focus more on quality, smoothness of control, and these little things the next time! But again, this was my first Ludum Dare :)
Nice game! The tutorial was a bit long, and I barely had to use any special abilities. I got through the game without much shapeshifting, so perhaps the exact functions of each form could be more fleshed out.
Very hard to survive but fun. I would make the bacteria move faster vertically cause I find it very hard to avoid incoming obstacles in time. With some small changes could become a very addictive game. +1
Thank you all! I think I will be updating it indeed, I hope to fix all the problems you have mentiones by the end of the week and release a huuge update, stay tuned on my twitter https://twitter.com/crispintea and on my website http://pintea.net
A really strong entry and a interesting use of the theme. Though I didn't really understand how I should be using the other forms and abilities.
This wasn't bad! The controls weren't perfectly reactive and what the abilities were doing wasn't shown well. Feedback to the player could be improved but I liked it overall
It great to know so many people out there are judging it positively!
That's a cool idea! I had a some issues with the blood stream, because you don't know how fast you are traveling, maybe a background would help there.
That's a great idea! I don't know how I didn't think of that before :D Thank you!
I don't know if I beat all the areas - are there three of them? Lung level has great idea of using the balls to simulate air particles. The appendix in poop area almost got me :D I didn't understand the blue level - I just moved all the way down and then all the way right and I was free...
The shape-shifting mechanic is a nice idea but I used only the bacterium form... If you will continue to work on this I would add levels that require shapeshifting to complete them...
Qaterknan, thank you for the feedback! Glad you liked it glaze_96 :D
Cool game, the collision at beginning is a bit strange, but good idea
Hey a little confusing level design. Good use of theme. Good job!
Shame about the lack of musical track, could have helped with the mood!

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Hard, but a good use of the theme. Well done.
