How does your game fit the theme?
The main way to interact with the game objects is with an inoculation loop. the gameplay loop is also repetitive.

A very unique version of the theme! I would like to be able to revist the tutorial without reloading the game. A few times I got stuck, not being able to put the sample in one petri dish until I finished the other one.
Took me a minute to figure out what order to do things and how they work. I had to go back to the tutorial a few times. The tutorial is well written and everything is there, the game is just quite complex when you first start.
That said, I really enjoyed the loop once I got the hang of it. Satisfying processes that could be tweaked or expanded on to make it even better. I would like maybe to use some keyboard keys to open the jars to get some multitasking going. And maybe a clipboard or something that describes the steps, like a condensed tutorial.
I enjoyed playing your game, and a very creative interpretation on the theme. I didn't even know an inoculation loop was a thing. Well done! :D
Thanks for the advice :) This is only my second jam, but I plan for future projects to add more detailed and easy to use tutorials.
No idea how to use the bacteria in the game
