Hi, Gn0meSlice.

Sorry for the slow reply... I still don't have email updates set up for this page, it seems.

If you see the visual tutorials in the game (annotated screenshots of gameplay), then you have the latest version and there's no need to update.

I was intending to have the game update automatically, via Microsoft's ClickOnce feature, but weird security issues cropped up if the game was downloaded from the Internet as a ZIP.

I any case, the latest version is stable and I don't expect it will need another update.

Thanks for checking it out...

NOTE: Version 1.1 of the demo, which includes visual tutorial screens and an additional two levels, has been posted here:

Indiedb.com

I'll create an official news item once v 1.1 of the game goes live, too.

Hi, 10243.

Sorry for the slow reply. If you lose the demo level once, you should get help text that says "fill the entire membrane with antibodies" (the "white ****"). If you do that, it's pretty hard to lose the level.

You might want to check out the new tutorial video we created. It's on YouTube now and has been submitted to Desura.

"Cell" is an experiment and not like many other games, but I think it makes sense if you invest the time to learn its mechanics.
