“What is a minute filler?” You ask. A minute filler is one of those games you play when you have a couple minutes to fill and can’t start anything that you might get too involved in. You might be waiting for someone to get ready to go out. You might be waiting for a ride or a class to start. In any event you want an enjoyable game that you can start playing for a bit and then easily quit and pickup later. You don’t want to start a tower defense game or time management game as any effort you put into setting up the game or playing early levels would be wasted. You just want some quick fast action to fill the void!

Microbe Kombat is one of our favorite “minute fillers”. In the game you start out as a small microcellular organism swimming around in some organic soup. Your goal is simply to survive in your hostile environment. In order to do this you must eat and avoid being eaten. Eating will cause you to grow and enable you to divide. Your diet consists of red specks of protein that appear at random in the soup and other organisms smaller than you. You also must avoid organisms bigger than yourself as you appear on their dinner menus! Once you consume all the competing microbes the game advances to a new level with new challenges.

Two strategies seem to develop. Grow your single organism as fast as possible by grabbing protein pellets before your enemies and try to consume the enemy organisms while they are small, or divide into a number of smaller organisms which may be able to get to the protein pellets before your enemy. Dividing is one of several abilities which you develop. The abilities are activated by clicking on their icons, located along the right side of the screen or using your number keys. Some abilities in addition to dividing are: extra growth, extra speed, stun and the ability to shift which unit you are controlling. Watch out for viruses as they will take away your abilities and eventually kill your organism!

This game offers a number of features that make it such a great minute filler. There is no involved setup or time commitment as you would find in a tower defense game. The levels are short, once you get the feel of the game. The game also lets you resume play at any level you have mastered after you have quit. So if you have a minute try out this great little flash game!
