I like the idea of a risk/reward mechanic tied to movement! Nice work!

Loved the art! Gameplay was smooth, though I feel like the days ended a little too often and slowed my momentum down. Still enjoyed my time with it, great work!

Very original, neat concept. I am also bad at the game and only made it to snail 3 . Nice work!

I'm really surprised that I didn't see more mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell jokes this jam. Fun and quick little game.

The second mitochondira theme I encountered. I really like the idea. I had some troubles to understand the powerups, so I mostly went with random and it mostly worked out fine!

Once I concocted my energy farming strategy the game became much more straightforward. Fun interpretation of the theme! I do think its a bit unintuitive to have all that energy wasted every day, as it wasn't super obvious that I needed to save food at first, though it does make sense in hindsight. I thought it was a cool contrast to have a relatively peaceful starting phase that goes into a frantic blitz right after.

fun game! took me a minute to get the hang of it, but once I figured out what I was doing I really started to enjoy it, caught myself moving in time with the music when it started to speed up too lol

Great theme idea xD Loved the hand-drawn presentation as well :)

Would love to see how the mechanics could be expanded upon!

Submitted

Fun but kinda difficult for me. Once there were like 4 snails I had no chance. Maybe I chose the wrong upgrades though.

Omg how didnt i have this idea. Very simple and reminded me of biology classes in school
