This game is about to defeat a tumor for that you will need to divide cells, but cells need ATP to live so you will need to collect nutrients. Some nutrients need to have multiple cells to be digested. Each cell has a lifetime at the end of this one the cell will have an abnormal cell growth (cancer).

To damage the tumor you need to have at least a number of cells on it. If you see the tumor does not take damage, put more cells! ;)

Controls :
Left Click: Select a cell to move
Right Click: Select an option for the cell.

Have fun!

Got an error running it on win10 64bit "The program can't start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem."

It is an interesting game. I would like to play more, but I can't seem to keep living long enough to kill the tumor.

I don't get it. There are no in-game instructions and on-site instructions are not clear. I have cells everywhere, but I have no idea what to do with the tumor. However, I think it is interesting concept (from what I saw), also educative.

The Tumor need to be killed by cells, for that you need to have a lot of cells on it. I did not specify in the description the number of cells for each nutrient or the tumor to add more gameplay :)

I got an error running on Windows 7 64bit. The audio still played though. So, I rated you on that. I liked the audio, and the idea seems really cool.

Works find on Windows 10 64bit btw. I couldn't work out how to damage the tumour either. I did enjoy collecting the nutrients.

The audio plays, but no visuals are rendered. It says "(not responding)" message if I click within the window. (Windows 7 64 bit)

Cool idea for a game. Like the scientific aspect of it! Took a while to understand, but it was pretty fun. Good work.

Nice concept, once I actually read the instructions it all became clear :) Nice take on the theme.

For some reason I can't do anything, nothing happens when I click anything. But I really like the idea! Science games are one of the best things. Good job!

That's weird, which OS are you using?

Interesting concept but highly confusing. Could do with a little more in-game instructions and polish in that regard to make it into something that shines
