About game

A biologist created a beneficial bacterium and introduced it into the infected area. Control a living cell that automatically fires spores at hordes of harmful microbes. Withstand one wave after another, gather nutrient orbs, and level up. When you level up, choose your enhancements: increase the power of your main cannon or acquire new biological weapons such as orbiting phages, infectious clouds, predatory bacteria, and more. Every few waves, a boss with its own deadly mechanics appears. Defeat it, collect biomass, and use it between runs to purchase permanent upgrades and combat antibodies. Easy controls, deep progression system, and addictive gameplay similar to survival games. How long will you be able to hold out?

How to play

By default, on the desktop version, the cell moves after your cursor — you can enable or disable this option with a click. To move, use the WASD keys or the arrow keys (on mobile devices, an on-screen joystick is provided). Your weapons automatically target the closest enemies; your main task is to avoid the swarm. Collect nutrient orbs to increase your level. When you level up, choose one of three upgrade cards (using the mouse or keys 1, 2, 3). Pause the game by pressing ESC. The longer you survive, the more biomass you accumulate for permanent upgrades. Good luck!
