Microcosm
A downloadable game for Windows
Play as a microbe trying to survive in a petri dish where everyone else wants to eat you. Everything's see-through, so the three layers in the petri dish are all semi-visible at once. Swim up and down in the layers to avoid your foes.
Survive as long as you can to get more points over time. Each of the stars you pick up will give you a point boost as well as increasing the points you gain every second.
Save all your scores in the High Score screen, which allows you to sort by each of your runs by points, stars collected, or time survived.
Made for the GTMK 2024 Jam for the theme "Built to Scale," but built upon and later re-released!
