This game was made possible by a grant from the Digital Media & Learning Competition. The goal was to make a truly educational game that was also genuinely fun to play. We hope students, teachers, and gamers will all enjoy the game, and encourage you to visit www.cellcraftgame.com, which will soon have an open forum and eventually downloadable teacher materials.

The game was designed by Anthony Pecorella. The lead programmer was larsiusprime of Super Energy Apocalypse fame, and the art was by LILg, who created the Reincarnation series. A custom soundtrack was created by Hibiki Haruto.

Also thanks to Dr. Jed Macosko at Wake Forest University and Dr. David Dewitt at Liberty University for providing lots of support and biological guidance.

Thanks so much for the support and kind words - this has already exceeded my hopes in terms of a response for the game! :-D

This game can be processor intensive. There are some options in the menu for reducing the graphics that may help.

***Fixes in v1.0.1***
- Fixed issue in final level with some buttons suddenly no longer functioning.
- Fixed membrane explosion when recycling membrane quickly.
- Possibly fixed fatty acid glitch in Level 3
- Fixed two typos

There is still an issue with getting stuck too far outside of the colored area. Solution - don't go out there. :) It's a somewhat complicated fix, so I'm not sure if we'll get it in or not, but it's the easiest to avoid too.

great game!

really informative, made me remember high school... lol
i did hit a glitch where my cell would go erratic, shooting portions of itself all over the place, it seems to be primarily in the graphics, as i'd still be able to pick up items in what i figured was the area i should have been covering by moving the cell around...
that's a bit convoluted, but i hope you understand what i'm talking about.
all in all, great game, it was fun to play.

Loved it

This game was by far the most pleasantly unique game i have ever seen, it is by far the most perfect synchronization of education and game-play in existence.
The thing i liked most though is that it's educational value did not take away from the game's challenge and thus i was entertained the whole game.
spectacular job.

I'm pleased but unsure

This games simplicity and educational value make it truly one of a kind. I must say I haven't really played anything quite like this (and i've played alot haha) but in all honesty, I was alittle bored. Though I was quite addicted and had to go through the whole game, it just was alittle lacking for me. Still, overall a job well done.
