It’s taken me a while to get around to it, but I’ll try the .apk soon :slight_smile:

FYI, your downloads have this warning, for some reason:

I like the idea of mapping a real thing to a game, especially one that’s so fundamental to humans, and all living things. I think there’s a good educational potential, but it doesn’t quite come across currently. I found the gameplay confusing, and didn’t get any insight into what the game elements are or how they interact.

Notes:

  • Definitely have an english-language option displayed in English. You might even consider starting the game in English - it’s a pretty wide-spread language :slight_smile:
  • It’s not really clear what the aim of the game is. Is the player just performing the functions of a cell, some particular function, or something else entirely? Am I creating, maintaining or destroying a cell? Just a bit of framing at the start would do a lot I think.
    • If the game is intended to be educational, it might be good to explain why an amino acid needs to be brought to endoplasmic reticulum, what an ER is, and so on. That would also give the player an understanding of what the goals of the game are.
  • Currently the gameplay is pretty confusing - I gather I’m supposed to catch amino acids, which I thought were the larger, fast-moving things, then bring them to the ER.
    Even when doing this, the game seems to just suddenly reset to main menu, for no apparent reason. If there is a reason, it should be very clear to the player, both to manage frustration and so the player can get better at the game, not repeating their mistakes blindly.
    • At some point the game suddenly closed the app entirely, again no discernible reason why.
