Game by Jonathan Gover, Duncan Stead and Ricky Willis!
Clear out the bacterial infection! Evolve and absorb the antibiotic resistances and abilities of the bacteria you destroy by splicing their DNA into your plasmid!
Use WASD to move and QE to roll, and the mouse to look around.
Click to shoot toxins.
Hold Space to scan objects.
When you have collected some plasmids from destroyed bacteria, press TAB to open the upgrade menu and splice DNA. There are three sections of the plasmid that can be upgraded, giving different abilities in each. Your current abilities are displayed in the bottom left.
Rotate the plasmid to see which DNA segments you have available - they appear as red strands of DNA in a box. You can click and drag them from the box down onto the plasmid ring, and drag DNA segments from the ring back up into the box.
For an example of this in action, see this video:
If you have more than one spare section of DNA, you can click the arrows at the top of the screen to cycle between them.
The current spare DNA segment shown in the box can be destroyed and converted into health if you are running low, by clicking the button next to it.
Cool game! Liked the quivering environment, looked and sounded great. I did struggle to get my head around the upgrades and got lost going back on myself a bit.
Wow that looks amazing. You guys really know how to make it look like the real thing. Good sound and music. The game is tight as well. Good menus, intuitive controls and steering. Except the dragging of DNA, that took me a moment to figure out.

Love the Deus-Ex-y-ness of it all. Not just the menu-screen, the music fits that quite well too :)
What kind of shader is that on the bacteria? It looks cool, but I couldn't figure it out yet.

Also, like the look and feel. Its Deus Ex HUD meets Splice graphics meets Descent gameplay ;)
The veins/tunnels could look better, but the cells look awesome!
