HTML 5 Game written with Phaser.

What's beneath the surface of our skin? A fight for you your life.

You're the last surviving white blood cell trying to protect your red blood cells from the attacking viruses.

Battle it out with The Common Cold, Swine Flu, HPV and others.

Each of the enemies and blood cells were created using automata algorithms. Some of the cells chase others, some collect items to help you.

All Art Assets were created on the canvas programmatically.

Works Best In Chrome.

THIS IS NOT A MOBILE GAME.

REFRESH TO RESTART.

Game is open source: http://github.com/codevinsky/beneath-the-surface

To run:
clone the repo

cd into the directory

run: npm install

and then run: grunt

Have fun!

Fun little game, although the game crashed at the third level.

It crahed on the first level for . I had to refresh to get it to work, and I had no problems after that

I think it'd be good if you allowed arrow keys along with the WASD controls, for us Dvorak users ;) Looks like a cool game!

Fixed the crash bug and added arrow key support

This game is fun.
It crashed on my two times between levels though. It could not get out of the pause state. Once up to level 3 and once up to level 7

DAMMIT.

Nice concept, but FPS was about two or three while playing in Chrome.

Checked this one out. There are quite a bit of shooters out there, but I liked the way you've made different type of things to shoot/avoid and how different type of cells have different goals.

Nicely done.

Pretty fun, the sounds seemed a little loud though. And actually aiming and the infections was a little difficult because of how small everything was. Despite the crashes/hangs I really enjoyed it though, nice one.

489. Then it crashed. But until then it was frentic, fun, great graphics.

Good job, this is fun! I got stuck on the second level, it didn't crash but enemies stopped spawning, it's possible that there was one I just couldn't see offscreen.

This is great, although after I died I could keep shooting. And great job on the Yeoman generator for Phaser, that and your simple tutorial on Flappy Bird Reborn was my only practice with Phaser!

Interesting game! I can't get pass the 2 Level, the game gets stuck on "press space to continue" after the "Influenza" message box.

I've notices lots of webgl errors in the js console (just in case it helps: WebGL: INVALID_VALUE: vertexAttribPointer: index out of range ). I don't know if it is related!

this was fun but after the third level the game didn't progress

Fun to play and challenging!

I thoroughly enjoyed it, as well as the fact that it is related to my science lessons.

Good job, the game is pretty solid and fun.
Also, good job on your posts about Phaser, they helped us a lot to get started with the engine :)
