Take control of a B-Cell as it leads some of the tiniest creatures (your own white blood cells) in this interactive educational experience! Mark invading pathogens with antibodies so that your white blood cell allies can attack, while protecting the innocent red blood cells. Learn the basics of the human immune response through cute traditionally illustrated characters! Can you "B" the savior of the body?

Move the B-cell with WASD. Touching pathogens will mark them with an antibody, so that the other WBCs know to attack.

Your little cells are so cute! My kids watched a story bots episode that taught about the immune system too!

I love the art in this! I'm running Linux so it doesn't look like I can play it easily. If you get the html version working, I'd love to try it!

Nice Style!

Dig the character design of the cells! A nice and fun way to learn some science too.Would like to be able to scale up the window more though.

Nice game! Wow! I like the design, the concept of the game and everything is very cool! I hope you will continue making good games!

nice take on the theme. The art and music work well together and the caricatures of the cells are charming. Everything went by super fast. I couldn't tell if I was doing good or bad everything just seemed to happen. congratulations on the entry!

I believe I won? At some point after marking all the baddies only good cells were present and no other pathogens entered the system. I am not sure if that is how it was supposed to work but I loved the art and educational aspect of the game. Cool entry!

Nice little game with good sound and visuals. I wish there were some more quality of life features. Fullscreen wasnt working and a little more feedback on game progress or if i was doing the right thing would be nice. Overall i see potential keep up the good work!

Very awesome that all the art was drawn and colored on paper! Though, quite littered with bugs when resizing the window in the downloaded build.

Really liked the art! Reminded me of old flash games I used to play and the games that would come as secret bonus features on DVDs. I couldn't really figure out what to do or how to help so much, but it was cool to observe the different behaviors of the defenders and invaders alike.

I love the art style! Unfortunately it's all so tiny that it's hard to see the details. I didn't even notice at first that touching pathogens marks them with an antibody.

I like the art, and I think this is an interesting idea. It was a little hard to tell whether I was accomplishing anything at times, but I think I ended up doing what was supposed to do.
