    "with the two pictures..one with the floating embryo thing and the other with the close up of the placenta?"

    In this level, use the bottom screen to move and turn your embryon.

    Move near the littles particules to eat them.

    yeah...not too sure how i feel about this game. i got rather far, but it takes sooo long to complete some of the levels that keeping my attention has proven difficult. did anyone figure out what to do with the two dueling placentas and arrows?

    level 1- reach an egg, get inside it, wiggle your mouse works best for me

    level 2- get all molocules of the same colour in one group, to finish you have 3 seperate groups

    level 3- get to the bottom, try avoiding the 'swimmers' make circels clockwise to go left and counterclockwise to go right

    level 4- feed your embryo with bubbles, trap the bubbles with your string, the string follows your mouse

    this game is kind of freaky, and not to mention confusing and hard. And (other) anonymous, this isn't a dirty game about sex; rather i think its a contemplative game about the beauty of all life, no matter how small or young. And the words between the levels...i guess the girl is a p-tute or something???

    it was a so beautiful even though i didnt pass level 5...i hope it makes people think twice about abortion...that little baby fighting to make it through it made me go "wow" even though it was all animated. :)

    So very VERY creepy. Some people on other websites thought that the text referenced a rape - it seemed more like an incestuous relationship to me.

    I am regretting my decision to go back to the start of bontegames and wander forward, playing whatever catches my eye. Urgh!
