Good Idea, Buggy Execution
I think the idea is great, and the world would be a better place if people spent more time making games that improved the world or the mind, ideally both. But it’s too bad that this attempt turned out so poorly. The main issues so far in my experience, have been some crashing issues when the game goes into the background mid “level” and then tries to come back and start again. Then there is the UX issue of the score lingering too long after you circle the bacterial bundle, which blocks the next set of bacteria. Then on top of all of this is the unclear point of the game, the intro does pretty good, then the actual game doesn’t play the same after that. Then there is the issue of the log-in screen. It doesn’t make it super clear when you have successfully registered, then if you have and you forget the password or mistyped the password (because there isn’t a double check when registering, i.e. type the password again, or the option to make the password visible.) you then have issues because no email is actually sent to reset the password (probably because the service is no longer being paid for I would guess.)
