Don't say I didn't warn you

So far I've gotten to 27. Can anyone go lower?

Reminds me slightly of the "Sega Swirl" game that came with "House of the Dead 2" (though that was more of a well-elimination sort of thing.)

Neat concept.

I'm afraid I'm going to "think like a virus" for a while [Big Grin] I got to the "25" level, fastest growth being 23.
Must go find more neighbours!

I got 22 once and 23 several times.

What heuristic do people use in making their decisions, out of curiosity? I generally try to bifurcate the space, sending out tendrils along diagonals from the core.

Is anyone else having trouble starting a new game? I have to close the window and come back to the OP link every time.

Yeah - if you hit refresh at the game over screen, you can start over again.

23 several times, total score 35,000+. Fun stuff. Thanks!

maui babe, it works for me to reload the page to restart.

I'm finding the most useful trick is identifying long tendrils in the middle and working my way toward incorporating them early.

27 was my best, but I managed to make it all blue at the end. (my favorite color.) So I gave myself a 5 point bonus and arbitrarily declared my score a 22. [Big Grin]

My best is 22. I love the infect and spread style of gameplay.

My best was also 21. But I give up now. Because I barely finished with 21.
