Personally, I thought the controls were pretty cool. Although I had the difficulty on 1 and still got killed a fair amount. But maybe I'm just terrible.
I like the graphics but the controls are very hard to get used to and the game is a little boring overall
Viral Attack captures the mood and is fun to play. I enjoy this dark theme, and nice representation of your health & mana. Being able to use tactics with the stun ability is a plus! Good work :)
Cool idea, but weighed down by clunky controls. I wouldn't recommend playing this in the web version because it's easy to click outside of the window.
It shares some elements with Osmos. Nice use of the repelling system. We like it!
Nice game. Had to play around with the controls a bit to get used to them, but after that it was quite a nice game to play.
Took some time to take a grip on controls, but after that game is quite fun! Loved the mood and sound effects, graphics is good too.
it Doesn't work in my browsers mozilla or chrome I have an:
Linux 3.5.0-28-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP
i686 GNU/Linux.
Cool concept, takes a while to find out whats going on, but then it's fun and challenging :)
Yeah I got a bit of an Osmos vibe from this as well. Took me a sec to figure it out, but cool game.
graphics are really nice cool mood and i liked the controls
First of all, thanks for checking out my game earlier :)
Nicely done. I actually like the menu. Work on menus sadly is under-rated.
I would like to see a higher res version of the menu to match the level of resolution in the actual game.
Cheers
The web player barely fit in my window. The game has a real steep difficulty curve. Also I found that the attack command wasn't always responsive. Sometimes it got interrupted and the reason for that wasn't really clear. Rate me back! http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=5288
Very fun game. The controls are pretty good, after you get used to it.
Had to download the executable file, the game got so intense after some time that I always accidentally clicked on other tabs, or the Unity dropdown menu showed up :)
I liked the controls actually. It just took me a second to learn them.
I enjoyed this entry thoroughly. It was pretty good.
Interesting gameplay. It was kind of cool to stun the white blood cells and then ram into them to kill them. If you add some more abilities, it would be even better. Good job.
Often couldn't attack the red cell, controls seemed unresponsive. I like the movement though
Could have been a great game if the controls weren't clunky. I don't know if I'm attacking or not as well. Still, one of the most innovative I played so far though.
Very nice game!
I like the game mechanics, graphics, music and sound.
Well done!

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.
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.
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 about 20 games to improve your visibility.
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.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Atmospheric and good-looking game, only the controls are frustrating. Sometimes nothing happens when I attack the red cell.
