Addendum: Although I enjoy this game, it's frustrating when you get 3 lives and yet when I got to the virus invaders (level 2.1) if you use up the three lives you go back to start. I think that once you bypass to the next full level (i.e., from level 1.1 to level 2.1) it shouldn't throw you back to the beginning. That makes it less fun.

Though I am bored with them, I do like an occasional match game, especially if it's a little different. This one sounded very interesting with maybe a little puzzling in there. For me, it was nothing but boring - but, it kept telling me I was FANTASTIC. Very good for an ego boost anyway.

I wondered about that one at first, as this kind of game is not usually my cup of tea (or so i thought).

However, i thought i would give it a try anyway...

...and i love it! :D

It is very addictive, and a lot more fun than one might think at first.

Thanks, GGAOTD and Merscom! :D

Wow, Zone Alarm stopped 50 attempts by this software to report to it's momma. It threw errors all over the place because of it's agressive attempts to get access to the internet and rated it as the highest rating threat!

Wow... really cool game. I saw this at my local Wal-Marts, and had a look at its box. Looked good. I was glad that GGOTD decided to give away this game. The interface is brushed, gameplay simple but challenging, and it is nice and relaxing (the viruses don't make a huge racket when they eat up a cell). Even though I've only finished level 1, this is a definite thumbs up and is going to be a long time keeper.

Don't judge this one by it's screenshots and description.

I've had this since the first Giveaway and kinda forgot how much I liked it until today's reviewers reminded me. The game is sorta simple. There are little red, blue, and yellow cells or "proteins" on your screen.

1. red + blue = purple

2. blue + yellow = green

3. yellow + red = orange

4. Combine colors to make strings of 10 or more purple, green, or orange to clear those proteins.

Simple right? Riiiight. Puzzle Mode is quite challenging as need to need to decide which colors to combine in precise order to completely clear all the proteins. It becomes infuriating when it seems one purple is left sitting there no matter what you do!

I'll add that in the menu, music, sound and voice are all separately controlled in OPTIONS and can go completely silent. The small flowers given as a reward bloom in the lower left-hand corner and don't bother me.

A refreshing, unusual game. Thanks Merscom LLC for the game when given the first time - and GGotD as always.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to 'mess' with this game, but (as usual...:D) after reading #1 Whiterabbit's review I decided to give it a try, so I downloaded it. I haven't had time to try it out yet, but I will...:D. Also I want to give my thanks to you, Bobby619, for your review; not only did I enjoy it, but it complimented WR's, and influenced my decision to download it. I hope you can and will continue to 'bless' us with your reviews; WR's, BT's, Lockett's, and now your (hope I didn't leave anyone out...yikes!) reviews all are assets to this site. ;)

Thank you for today's offer. Upon first look, I was not going to download this game, but after the 'growing' reviews, I had to give it a try. The download/setup took under 4 minutes on my Windows XP and plays without any issues. * Wish the maker added a short-cut to the download - thanks for the heads-up in the readme file. Even after reading the 'help' file, it took me a few minutes to get the hang of the game, and finally have my first tray of flowers grown! Thanks - this game is different than most I have seen here.

* Would love to have a hidden-object offer soon, too!

sorry photoflex, I forgot to add it to the post. I ddn't realize it was missing until now. It was 4am in the morning when I wrote that though sorry :oops: (you can tell as there are a couple of places where I've not edited out some changes I made to the review, which was mainly a copy of my review from the first time it was given away with a few changes.

I tried to like it but I just couldn't. I just could not get into the game. It didn't excite me to say the least. I might be missing something but I don't see the playability, I found it kind of boring. I understand that it gets better later in the game but it hasn't done anything for me yet. Maybe I will push on a little more and see.

This game is unlike any I have previously played. And anyone worrying about VISTA compatability....don't worry! I have Vista Home Basic, and the game downloaded fine and works great.

I have played for about 30 minutes (shortly after midnight last night), and I can already tell that this will be a good and challenging game. While it is true that is looks pretty simplistic at the start, just keep playing and the game will progress to harder levels. Those simple levels are needed at the start because not everyone is an immediate expert when they play a game for the first time. I think a lot of people are impatient and judge a game by what they see in the first few minutes. Sure, if your idea of a great game is one where you are shooting everyone in sight and blowing things up while you drive around at 120 mph, this isn't your type of game. (However, if you like killing little spider-looking viruses, then this is the game for you.)

I just recently discovered this web site, and I am telling everyone I know about it. Keep up the good work!

Just wanted to let the reviewers here know that I really appreciate their time and effort, especially those who provide the in-depth reviews. Before I download any game I always read the reviews to see what the reactions are and what problems people may or may not be having.

This looks like an interesting game, so I'll be giving it a try. Thanks!

Not your run-of the mill 'lame game' for certain! I like it. Played just long enough to sort of get the hang of it, and lose of course. I ran out of time. Guess my flowers wilted. I wanted to go back and try again but, there was an invitation for reviewers by one of my favorite reviewers. Needing to show support, and RECOMMENDING this game had to come first. The game is relatively simple for a DNA project - RBG for those in the know... The game is cute and different from my current collection. A definite keeper. Thanks GGAOTD and dedicated reviewers!

I passed this game up the first time it was offered because I thought I would not enjoy it. After reading the comments by WR and Bobby619 I decided to download it and give it a try. I'm glad I did. The gameplay is relaxing and fun for me. Thank you GGAOTD for another great game. And of course thank you to the publisher, Mercoms LLC, for your offering.

I tried this game but for some reason it is painfully slow on my Vista Ultimate. It was even worse when I had it at full screen. It took me about 2 minutes to get my name entered to even get to the options menu.

It's not a bad game but I have to give it a thumbs down for slowness.

I have a 2.4 GHz machine. I see no reason for it to be this slow!

Can I vote 10 times? I love, love, love this game! Less than 24 hours ago, my sister was telling me that she hoped you'd re-run it because she lost it when her hard drive crashed.

The first few levels are easy, but it gets harder and harder. I've finished it once (which is STILL more than I've finished Brickshooter!), and never been able to get to the end again.

#17: It means that if those files already exist in the folder - which they shouldn't unless you already had the game installed - they'll automatically be overwritten by the new files rather than asking you if you want it to overwrite them. It shouldn't cause any problems with anything at all unless you already have stuff in C:\Games\DNA with the same filenames, so go ahead.

I'll have to wait approximately five hours to download this...freaking school.

This game is great! Even if you think you won't like it give a try. It's a bit different than any other game I've played. Had no problem with D/L and install, I was able to choose where to install it but you do have to create your own desktop icon, which is no big deal. Definitely gets a thumbs up from me. Thanks GGOTD for another keeper.

Whiterabbit & Bobby619, thank you both for your time and efforts, they are greatly appreciated.

Hi Bobby 619. If more community members reviewed each game we would get a much more accurate picture of the game. I don't profess to be good at what I do. I'm just systematic (most of the time); also despite trying to be unbiased occasionally bias will creep into my reviews. I welcome anyone’s help in what I'm doing here (which is the same as you - trying to be helpful. Thankfully, I have the time and the inclination.

I do hope you carry on as there is . There used to be a group of reviewers here at one time but apart from Lockett who started reviewing a couple of months ago there hasn't been anyone else who ‘consistently’ writes reviews. I don't see other reviews as competition (as what exactly would we be competing for :lol: As far as I'm concerned, the more the merrier.

I personally love reading what others think about a game. I rarely talk much about how I feel about the games that are given away here; so what you've written is refreshingly different and adds to my own review in a complementary way (as does Lockett’s) so thanks for taking the time to write your thoughts on the game. I do hope you continue. Also would you copy your review and post it in the thread I started over in the forums. These reviews tend to get buried after a while, so having them posted in the forums makes them easier to access if needed later. Just add it to the D.N.A. thread, via the link below. Thanks:

Hi all!

I have just downloaded the game and am installing it, but after unzipping it a message comes up saying it is unzipped to the Games folder, AND also has a tick in where it says : overwrite files without prompting. WHAT DOES that mean, and is there need to worry about it? (sorry, a tchie I'm not) and I would hate messing my PC up for the sake of a game.
It would be nice if someone would come forward with an explanation.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards

Whilst downloading on dial-up, I've just done an (instant) Search GT (megathanks for that gem!) to check whether Bass.dll existed on my system.

I found it amongst the filters in my K-Lite Codec Pack. Out of curiosity, I looked at the file's properties. Bass.dll is in very good company here! The (file's) company name is Un4seen Developments!

Is this another one of it's games?
