My girlfriend and I played this game together. It is actually pretty fun (specially when you play with someone else) the controls are simple and easy to use (though the control instructions for player 2 are actually backwards haha). For $2 you can't go wrong here, specially since it is early access and should only get better.

Sadly looks abandoned, had quite some potential, but right now there is barely anything implemented.
The graphics are really nice, sound is enjoyable.
Not worth its price if it doesn't get a patch someday.

I love pickup couch co-op games and Soup fits the bill. It has simple controls on the menu and delivers a beautiful gaming arena. It might be a simple game but with so much going on failure will have you restarting to give it another try. Definitely keep this one in your library.
At the same time I see this could potentially have different game modes, and I'm interested to see if the developers come up with anything more for the game. Simply because I don't see this title getting more than a couple hours of logged playtime, which is a shame.

QUICK THOUGHTS: Take Agar.io or Mitos.is, make it stationary 1v1, and you get Soup. The game itself isn't bad, but bare bones definitely sums it up. You have four "attacks", one of which collects more bacteria or nanobots to increase your bacteria or nanobot's health (whichever you chose to fight as). Use "minefield" attacks as defense, "hunters" for a reason I'm still not sure on (I believe gathering at greater distances), as well as torpedo attacks to hurt your foe.
The gameplay is simple, though the lack of a tutorial or instructions beyond three explanations on the title screen, leave you scratching your head a it. However, I leaned hitting the x button will also push out surrounding ally bateria or drones to defend against attacks. Even after fifteen minutes, I wished there was a simple/quick tutorial to understand how the game mechanics worked exactly.
There's also no options menu that I could find, which also would have been nice to help with the music (which is pretty catchy, admittedly), as well as screen size and graphics quality. It's something small, but it would help. Hopefully some future on-line multiplayer would be interesting. Also would love some more playable bacteria or bots, as well as enemies. Fighting the same virus over and over got boring real quick. Even the ability to play as the virus itself would be nice.
As it stands, competent, though could be a lot better. It's a promising title, don't get me wrong. But that doesn't mean it's the most enjoyable, especially on a single player level. It's a bare bones experience at the time of writing this down, snd needs more room to grow before being something really worth your time, even from a casual point of view.

Soup is a simple game, but it has fun gameplay. The aim of the game is to win from the Virus, this as Bacteria or Nanobots.
Gameplay
You have your collectors, mines and fighters (and you can shoot these torpedoes). These all you can spawn with one single button Z, while holding down the Z button you can see the different units and select them like this. So your collectors collect and grow bigger and on some point you might want to recall them using the X button before they get wiped out by the enemy fighters. You also have mines that circle around your "base" for defensive purposes mostly. Then you have fighters, these attack enemies anywhere in the playing field by bumping in them (this eventually kills them as well). As the last unit you can use there is the torpedo, well looks like a kamikazerun.. but anyway you can use this to directly attack the virus. Depending on the size of you main body the units you have can be smaller or larger too.
Updates
None for a while I see, that's why I'm changing my review.
New verdict
Ok, checked it out today 26-03-2019, things changed is sound options and difficulty. It looks abandoned by now.. no new messages ? ? ? I mean it is ok like what it is now but I'd understand if you're looking for some depth then I'd not recommend this right now.

Great game for the price, difficult yes but leaves coming back because of that. Strategic and fun with every match lasting lesss than 10 minutes. This game though in early access has a lot of room for improvement, getting the core mechanics in with a great soundtrack. Beautiful art design and great physics. You get your bang out of your buck.

After more than a year of Early Access, I am afraid that the developers of this game have abandoned it. Quite common in the gaming industry by the way. Moreover when I played this game, I really had no idea what was I doing or what was going on. In spite of this, I managed to win my first game! Achievement fanatics would love this by the way. Other than that, I can't recommend this game at its present state of development because content and dept is lacking.
