Gotta say, the original Auralux is absolutely fantastic, and a great recommendation. Simple, addictive and fun. I'm not one for spending money on IAPs but after completing the generous amount of free levels, I was happy to spend some money on this game for extra content, not just to support the devs, but because this game is worth it. Try it for free and see for yourself.
I really think this game has the potential to be a huge hit. If you spent more time really polishing the graphics and sound, it would make a big difference (although it doesn't bother me too much). It reminds me of Auralux in that you're just controlling a bunch of little dots.
However, with Auralux, you have pretty good control of your dots. There's a somewhat similar grouping mechanic, but you also direct where you want them to land, and the group you selected will go there (otherwise, if they are attacked, they will fight autonomously).
With this game, my players always retreat, even if they are in a great position to attack (despite being outnumbered). If you can find a way to let the player control the general direction they go, then the game would be 10x more fun for me!
I remember playing a very similar game on my phone back in the day. Not sure if it was featured on here in 2010 (before my time), but there's the link anyway. Hope it helps!

I think you're thinking of Auralux. It's also on Android.
Great games, I love both Osmos and Auralux for how chill they are. Both are well worth the full price in my opinion :)
true it is similar, but that's not it either, the game didn't have a cells theme, it looked just like "auralux", with big spheres in different colors surrounded by small dots
Reminds me of Auralux on Android...which I have spent many, many hours having fun with. I'll be grabbing this tonight!
I have the ringtone from the game "Auralux"

Auralux is the first thing that comes to my mind. It's an extremely minimalist RTS. It's casual enough for the mobile market, and still plays like a proper RTS.
Auralux. Awesome visuals, great sounds, and quite relaxing. It's my go to game when I know I'll be spending some time doing nothing and without internet connection. Here's a video
Auralux Very simplified gameplay, but fun. A true mobile RTS.
Auralux? It sound very very similar to it.

There are a ton of games like this, but it's hard to describe the genre. Here are a few I found:
Auralux is very similar. Instead of troops, you have star clusters. It can get a bit challenging, but has limited levels. I played it 3 times through before giving up and going on to the next. Apparently you can pay to obtain more levels.

Cell Expansion Wars is another. I like this one a bit more than Auralux because there were a few more unique "troops".

Ultimately, I enjoyed both of these quite a bit.
I doubt this is the exact version the game you played, as there are many clones, but does it play like Auralux?
Found this unique strategy game called Auralux. Free to play or purchase map packs to expand the game.
