Nanotube

Nanotube Screenshots

“Nanotube” is a wicked little flash game that my mate John put together. The game itself is fairly simple: You must rotate the outer ring of cells to catch the corresponding coloured particles which move outwards from the center of the screen. For every particle you catch your energy bar gradually turns green, while missed particles cause it to gradually turn red. Keep it in the green to score points, but go too far into the red and it’s game over.

Don’t let the simple mechanics fool you, though… this game is a tricky little bugger! It quickly goes from nice and casual to absolutely frantic, where one little mistake can lead to a huge, panicked chain reaction, shouting “oh shit! oh shit! oh shit!!”

Nanotube is released under Slakinov.com, which is a new project that John and I are working on in our spare time. We hope to build up a nice collection of games there in the future, focusing on stylish presentation, interesting gameplay mechanics and, most importantly, fun! We should have a proper site up there fairly soon-ish, so stay tuned…

11531 was my score for my first try. Maybe I’m just tired. Neat game though. A bit simple at first, but it speeds along a at good pace. The level in the screenshot was the one I failed at.

Hey that’s a very nice game I ended up going “oh shit oh shit oh shit” after a while ;) The graphics were very clean, just like in Glitch (which is one of the reasons I adore this program). You should submit it to http://www.newgrounds.com, it definitely has Front Page potential.

this game is insane!!

Lovely game, well executed with it’s minimalistic design while still being pretty complex. Nice one!
