Interesting idea! I included it in my Rousr's Virtual Pet Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

At first I had some problems figuring out how to minimize the Petri dish – but then I understood that you have to throw them into the trash bin ^^
I had a lot of fun experimenting with all that stuff. Maybe something like that would be great for biology lessons in schools. The sandbox character of this virtual pet/game could help built up intrinsic motivation. Really nice concept!

Thanks :)
Yeah I had some problems finding an intuitive solution to discard a petri dish, I tried a few stuff but was afraid it would happen by accident, so I went for this non-obvious way, which is also a bit weird. Anyway, glad you had fun with it.
