Micromanagement

This game is a weird trip into a colorful and humorous world. Only got a small taste of it, and really liking it so far. The visuals are a treat, and there seems to be enormous depth to the gameplay. The music and sounds really adds to the cool strangeness of the game. My only regret is buying this game at 2 am in the morning before leaving on a trip because I look really forward to digging my teeth into this little gem.

Definitely an interesting strategy game based on the partial differential equation dynamics of a mutating bacteria strain. The sliders affect the mutation of the bacteria, which will face off against a competing growing bacteria. If you don't make your bacteria aggressive enough it will die off when the other one spreads, but if you don't put enough emphasis on division rate at the start you will not have enough bacteria to stand a chance. If you are interested in mathematics of dynamical systems (competing species), this is recommended to try out. I would definitely like to see more games explore this kind of dynamical systems based approach strategy, as this unique gem combines a nice blend of real time dynamical systems strategy game with geometry and biology and has a decent tutorial.

It's pretty good.
