Great however encountered a bug

Great game! I really enjoy playing it. However I encountered a glitch where I couldn't assign a lab member to differentiate my cells and so they just sat there and I couldn't do anything with them

Dish Life

Honestly the most fun I have had during Lockdown... great gameplay as you negotiate your way in the life of a scientist - feeding cells as you aim to become a professor.. if you like simulations this is for you.. and for once that is Sage advice that can’t be disputed.

Stuck with less petri dishes!

The game has a really cool concept, and I believe you can add more things to make it more interesting and more levels.
Some things become really repetitive, which makes it boring.
It’s very slow unless you play it three times faster.
I’m stuck now with two differentiation petri dishes that I can’t solve, I don’t know why. But it’s taking space out of all the dishes.
I’m hoping you can help with this issue.
I would also suggest if there is a skipping button for all the dialogues if I don’t really wanna go through all of them.

Great concept, but get’s repetitive

I love the concept of this game! The main issue is that there is a limited number of things you can do in the game, so it becomes very repetitive with minimal need for strategic thought/decision making. The projects don’t change - they are just different combinations of the same mundane tasks. The gameplay doesn’t change at all as you progress from undergraduate to professor, which is a great shortcoming. You have to play this game at three times speed or else its very slow. The dialogue boxes and conversations with colleagues do not affect gameplay at all and only hinder the flow of the game as you constantly have to exit out of dialogue boxes. The issues that arise in these dialogues could be opportunities for side quests or additional projects, such as addressing morale of the entire lab community. In summary, this is a noteworthy start to a unique game, but there is significant room for improvement.

Stopped working :(

Really like the game but halfway through the PHDstudent level the differentiated cells would disappear after they were made :( Tried redownloading but the same thing happened again
