Use of the limitation
To keep the menace at bay, you must use your own molecules. I just had a day, so it may be buggy but I wanted to show the concept.

A nice idea and good music!

Submitted

Very creative game. Lots of originality - presented in an arcade look which I think suits this a lot. Music makes me feel like a kid again.
Fun game!

I generally liked this, it was fun and I could see this in an arcade machine. I just wish there was an arrow pointing in the direction that the block was going to fall and that the cells somehow settled to the edges whenever I cleared out something beneath them. But I get that this was made in a few days and you might have meant to have either. It's a fun arcade-y game! 

Although i also didn't really see how well it related to the theme...

Hey thanks for playing! As commented in the description and also below the it’s about avoiding the death of a cell. Anyway the rules always say that the topic is just inspirational and the limit is the important part: for me it follows the limitation in the concept of a cell that depends on molecules (proteins, lipids, etc.) to help in the metabolic process. So you depend on your health (what you eat and reaches the cell) and your help to metabolise to save the cell.

i really enjoyed it, although a few times the cells didnt work right when i lined it up, very good game though, music was nice, one thing i wish is that you can hold the arrow key down.

Hey thanks for playing, I know that there are bugs (easy to fix but now I can’t update) because I didn’t have as much tima as I wanted. I had to do the whole thing in one day but even if it’s buggy I wanted to show the concept.
