Pretty cool concept! It was fun to multiply and start chewing up more flesh.
I don't think I quite get the concept. It seems like an okay game, but I don't think I fully understand it. Nice sounds, good graphics, feels solid. Keep it up.
Good stuff, gotta love those beeps'n boops. Also nice take on the theme.
Oh wow this game is so messed up. Actual flesh eating bacteria as protagonist. :) Really nice.
Interesting game. Level 1 was a little easy but those white cells were totally cornering me by level 2.
Like others have said, maybe it's a little slow. Breaking the skin probably isn't necessary, as it takes a good 10+ seconds to get through with no risk. You could probably just go deeper into the same body.
I like the concept a lot. But I feel like the pace was too slow... Or maybe I didn't quite understand what I was supposed to do. Also I couldn't beat level 2 D: But I enjoyed it! Great job for 48 hours
Nice simple mechanic, albeit kind of gross :) I had trouble recognizing the yellow pickup as a "good" thing because it was kinda spiky like the bad things. but consuming flesh was gratifying.
Ha ha! Disgusting game... I love it! I think the slowness is part of the charm - I could totally imagine this getting a lot of plays on my Atari 2600
i really like your game label, game program^tm is awesome. really cool concept and at first glance i thought we made a similar game but they have a very different feel i like your its super weird and awesome ahah gj
Nice! It was kind of slow, but that made the increased speed of flesh eating when you get a bunch of the little guys that much more gratifying :) Also, I really like the colors you used!
It's well made but the pace is far too slow. I began to multi task while waiting for the blocks to break.
I really like this. I didn't read the description but once I realized I was eating skin I thought it was an awesome take on the theme. Also, graphics and movement were spot on. I personally feel as though there is a better way to have movement on a collection (instead of moving them all in the same direction). But this might not be possible (I have given thought to a similar concept for a game). Anyway, the only other thing I would suggest is making the toxin either more immediate or more visible when it actually does the collision detection. Otherwise it seems inconsistent and potentially confusing. Great work overall though! I feel like this has a lot of potential.
Fun concept and great interpretation of the theme, but it could probably be a bit faster paced.
First few times I didn't "get" the game and didn't realize I had to press down to swim in the blood because my guy would disappear.
After I figured it out it became a lot more fun, but it should be noted that the screen is too high in FireFox (in Chrome it fit within the boundaries of my window, though).
I felt bad playing this game. :) Slow but good gameplay. Like the Atari cartridge pic above.
I liked the transition between breaking the skin and floating around beneath the surface. You could give it a strategic purpose, and let the player choose where to enter.
Dissolving was fun, as was trying to avoid the bad cells, although collision didn't seem perfect. Also, I couldn't really tell what the toxin was doing.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.

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.
Dividing was fun and the music is excellent, but the pace is little slow (or I'm missing something?).
