Slushy_ Previews the Alpha of Bacillus by Milky Joe Games

Telling people you have spent the weekend trying to develop a super strain of bacteria that can live under even the harshest environmental conditions is not generally a good idea. Unless of course you are talking about playing the alpha build of Bacillus by Milky Joe Games which is going live on Kickstarter Feb 29. It's a unique game being developed by a one man team which deserves your support. The main concept of the game is you take control of a bacteria with the only goal of surviving. To do so you must adapt and evolve to a changing environment full of competing bacteria.You accomplish this by dividing your bacteria and focusing on those "offspring" that have favourable characteristics. While this may sound rather clinical it doesn't take long for you to become attached to your little family of unique bacteria and you will be surprised how saddening losing your favourite super strain can be. I thoroughly enjoyed playing the current build and recommend readers of this blog get behind this kickstarter.
 Speaking of which , there are some cool benefits available for Kickstarter supporters including being able to design their own bacteria and getting in the credits for $1.With the plan being that Kickstarter funds will be used to polish the game and add features such as multiplayer. So check out this video, and head to the campaign page .
