Strain: Genome race

About game

In Strain: Genome race, you'll dive into an exhilarating real-time strategy game where microbes battle for supremacy on a Petri dish. Lead your cellular army, directing streams of life to conquer adjacent cells and expand your territory until you rule the entire map. But victory requires more than just strength—evolution is key. Use valuable DNA in the Evolution Shop to enhance your strain's capabilities: boost production, increase capacity, strengthen attacks, fortify defenses, and improve stealth. Unlock potent mutations in the Gene Bank, such as division, toxin production, regeneration, and more. Five worlds and countless levels present new challenges: antibiotics wreak havoc, hunters patrol the area, quarantine measures are enforced, and acid leaks threaten your existence. The enemy AI grows more cunning with each level. Return daily to claim rewards, take on the Daily Challenge, and climb the leaderboard. Enjoy simple one-tap controls that conceal deep tactical complexity!

How to play

The objective is to seize every cell on the map. • To launch an attack, hold your cell and drag it towards the target — half of its population will be sent there. Direct the stream at enemy or neutral cells to conquer them. • If your population exceeds the opponent's, the cell becomes yours. Your cells will continue to grow over time. • Drag across multiple cells at once to make them strike together and overcome strong defences. • Capturing a cell with the ✦ marker gives you a mutation — choose an upgrade for the current round. You earn DNA for completing levels. Use it in the Evolution Shop to buy permanent upgrades for your strain, and in the Gene Bank to get mutations. Be careful of threats: antibiotics can disrupt the field, hunters can attack, and quarantine can lock a cell. Act quickly, evolve and infect the entire world!
