Charming and relaxing game. You are a cell aiming to become the biggest fish in the pond. Simple concept which allows for tough (non-relaxing) situations. Good music.

Is a strange game, is not bad. I once used to have the mobile version of this game. What its like is a physics cell simulator, avoid bigger cells and eat ones smaller than what you are. Some parts they throw in gravity mechanics.

Somehow, 17 years later, I'm drawn back to this game. A mixture of anxiety and calmness. A little bit of luck and planning, and the game isn't too terribly difficult. Excellent ambient soundtrack and just a good way to spend a few hours forgetting about the world around you.

Purchased for 2,45 euros. You can make this game either extremely relaxing or extremely challenging. On the one end you turn off the in-game music (fitting but very limited) and provide your own tracklist, and let the smallest movements guide you towards veeeeeery slowly becoming the biggest. Or don't and just float around endlessly forever while vibing to some good music. On the other end you turn off the in-game music (again, fitting but very limited) and provide your own tracklist, and you master what this game actually expects from you, which will require patience and can be very frustrating because of the finicky controls (I played with a mouse). Which is why I probably can't bring myself to get the last achievement I need... To be clear: in my opinion and experience, everything before the forever zones is perfectly doable with some commitment and you can consider the game beaten at that point. But you know, opinions and experiences vary... My enjoyment significantly outweighed my frustration, so... recommended.
