Hey, give it a chance! This game doesn't involve blowing up buildings or zombie massacres, it is ION's step into the realm of "serious games" for education. Imagine being stuck in class, listening to the dull rantings of a professor. Now imagine being able to learn in a more interactive and fun way, at your own pace, and this is where ION and "serious games" hybridize to create fun, educational, interactive experiences.

A patient has just been admitted in the E.R. with symptoms of Septicemia (sepsis). Septicemia is the result of bacteria invading the blood (bacteremia). Presently there are 3 types of bacteria threatening the patient's survival. If you don't destroy them all they will eventually cause septic shock and multiple organ failure by lowering the patient's blood pressure. It is up to you to assume the role of one of the body's white blood cells, a macrophage. You must defend the blood components by phagocytizing (engulfing) all of these invaders!

If you up the ante in terms of difficulty for the questions, this could be a fun tool for nursing students and the such. Even now, though, it is a pretty fun way to teach the basics.

I thought this game was very well done. I actually learnt a lot while playing the game about stuff that i previously had no clue about and the main part that helped me learn was the flash cards in between levels. I thought the designs of all the organisms were great and colorful. Overall a very fun game.

I really liked it. Anybody could've made a game where you move your mouse to get rid of "bad-floaty-thingies." But you took it farther and made it actually worthwhile. Great job. Kudos for being orginal and double Kudos for making it educational. I really liked the flash card you put on after every level. One recommendation I'll make is that after the game ends, you should have a section where people can review the flash cards. Then they don't have to play the game again to read those cards.

Who needs med-school when you can learn it all on Newgrounds? :-)
