That is some high praise indeed. Thank you so much. Having a hub of bustling alien convo was Merodakon's vision from the get go.
The pixel style tends to take on a life of it's own. I'm glad you like what shook out. The bacteria was going to be a constant nuisance so we wanted it to be visible. Tuns out some rainbow colours and a cheeky grin was just what it needed. I'm glad you enjoyed "the lord." Coming up with organs and fake history, honestly, is some of the most fun of making a game.
A bit of banter also goes a long way so it was coded to be random (hopefully feel more organic). But it was our first time working with text boxes. Besides some font and text sizes, the heart is there.
Thanks for the feed back!
