Advanced Instructions

Controls:

1: Spawn a Neutrophils cell (10 glucose). Modes: Chase, and Return. Neutrophils have an ability that allows them to absorb smaller enemies on contact, gaining food when doing so. They can be put into Return mode if they have collected any food. Return mode allows them to head to the player and transfer any food they have collected to the player.

2: Spawn a Monocytes cell (15 glucose). Modes: Chase. Monocytes has a multi-target attack that allows him to damage 2 enemies at once, or one enemy twice.

3: Spawn a Eosinophils cell (25 glucose). Modes: Chase, and Sentry. While in Sentry mode, is stationary but gets a ROF increase.

4: Spawn a Basophil cell (30 glucose). Modes: Chase. Shoots a missile that damages anything in its explosion radius.

WASD to move.

Q: Puts selected cells into their primary mode.

E: Puts selected cells into their secondary mode, if possible. (Shortcut) If there is no selected cells, then all Neutrophils cells will go into return mode, if able.

Selection options:

LeftClick a cell to add it to selection

Click and Drag to do a rectangle selection

RightClick to clear your selection

ESC to pause

Tips:

If having trouble getting the hang of the game, try spawning more Neutrophils and taking advantage of their Return mode and absorb ability to generate more food.

Like the gimmic and all, but it's seriously unbalanced. All the cells die too quickly and the glucose generation is low. At one point, the waves have so much enemies that even basophils (the supposed cell that deals with crowds) get overwhelmed because of their low fire rate. Can see potential, but not good excecution.

Extremely fun and surprisingly educational.
I really liked the very niche setting and how the game oozes with love and care for biology/medicine. I can imagine you put in some time to research how it works...and then how to make it fun!
Also loved the huge variety between the two levels.
I only struggled with understanding Q/E (why shift) and got overrun from time to time.

wish there was more content, an endless mode, and progression

Clunky and not very useable

If you ever feel useless, then remember, there's always a battle that's happening inside your body and you don't even feel it!
