I'm going ahead and purchasing Biofilm! But promise me that you will change the anemic pointer to something more creative!
Is a multiplayer mode too much to ask for? In the mean time, could you do what many other companies are doing: creating a pseudo-multiplayer feel by posting best times on the website?

I like the original theme, although the game genre is not that original: I've seen globular, gaseous, space planet conquering, etc. However, I do like the real-world bacteria names, and the gelatinous ooze as a background makes it more ominous.
Battery Acid, please listen to the previous reviewers: a multiplayer mode would really put this game over the top; and while you're in multiplayer mode, add a pinch of penicillium? The major annoyance I had was the pointer-I just couldn't find what corner actually pointed to what. For such a creative game, why such an anti-climatic pointer?
Battery Acid, I pray, will be a great contender in a battery of indie software companies. BioFilm is soon to be a classic.

I purchased BioFilm after playing the demo about 5 times! It was worth the money, I have a hard time going to the movies for $18 where I live, and this game gave me many more hours of entertainment.
Things I would love to see in the future:
- Better handling of 2 finger scrolling on macbook
- Additional units
- Network Play
- Level Editor
I know thats asking a lot, but I can see this game becoming quite addictive with some more goodies!
The whole concept of exponential cellular growth is something that I thought would make a neat game for years. I'm glad a more talented programmer than myself had the same idea!
BTW: Despite the readme's rec. that I play the game on low quality, High Quality runs perfectly on my 2Ghz MacBook @ 1280x800. Great work!
I give it 4 stars now, and 5 when network support / level editor is added; at that point, what's left to add? :)

It was a little to easy but still a great concept and a good implementations. It would be nice to have a move command (ie Click. Keypress M. Click destination). Selecting the cells you want can be hard too. I'd also be a fan of different motility speeds- faster might toughen it up a bit. Online team play? Different game modes? Nice soundtrack. Very pretty on my 20" iMac. Kudos for supporting widescreen gaming- in game resolution settings would be nice so I don't have to fiddle with a dialog at startup.
Overall I give it a 4 but a 5 is in reach- possibly version 1.5 or version 2.
