Germs is a game that combines quick thinking with even quicker reflexes as players manipulate scads of colorful, killer pathogens in order to neutralize a biological threat and save humanity.

In Germs, the player picks up germ sprites from a "culture dish" and arranges them on the gameboard in patterns of the same color to make them disappear.

If you pick full screen, it reduces the resolution to a very small size, so when you quit, every other window you had open has been crunched down to 640x480!
I keep Mail, Photoshop, and a Browser open most of the time and at specific window sizes and layouts. Don't much appreciate them being smashed.
