Neat game. Difficult to get 10 without red samples, but neat concept and well executed.

Interesting concept, I'm not very good at the microbe collection minigame so it took me a couple of attempts to get that A+ lol. The world scope is a bit small so it doesn't feel like I did a lot of exploring; maybe making the world bigger or adding more microbe types so you can "explore" different microbe strains would be cool to do in the future. Solid game!
I'm glad I got multiple attempts to get the samples because I did not do too hot on my first try haha
It's a fun little mini-game trying to keep as many of the non-red variants alive as possible, but it makes me wonder: if the red samples are killing the non-red samples, are all of the non-red samples slowly dying in the ecosystem? Did I introduce these red samples and contaminate the environment?!
A short experience and maybe lacking in new mechanics after the first sample collection (besides the different colors), but enjoyable nonetheless :)
I wish school was really this easy! I liked the mini-game especially, could have maybe have made it a little harder by having the red ones convert every n-th other microbe into another red one or something.
Really fun game <3
Enjoyed playing and collecting the right colors for the professor ! :D
i got 10 for all of them, B) the blue one took me few seconds to search around :D
Great job !
Interesting game. The end was a bit anticlimactic, even something simple left-clicking on the "house/lab" and getting a "you won" message could have helped.
Cool game! I loved the levels and was just wondering if they were random? Good stuff :)
