Description
Assume the role of the ace player sent to save the Earth's music legacy from destruction.
How to Play
Controls:
Cursor control - Mouse
Buy bonus - Keys 1-7
Pause - ESC or SPACE
Game description:
Your task is to keep the nanobots alive for as long as possible so that they have enough time to gather the necessary information required for breaking the code of the virus and creating the "antidote". Be careful as nanobots could be easily destroyed if too many seeds hit them or, contrary, if they gather too much information which causes the system overload resulting in setting off the self-destruction. Use bonuses to keep them alive until the song is over and the virus transmission is stopped.
Strategy guide:
To maximize your score adhere to the following rules:
1. Gain medals using bonuses
- More medals means lower price and shorter cool down for appropriate bonus
- Higher score multiplier
2. Play the game to unlock cursor size bonus
- Bigger cursor means better score multiplier but less money as well
3. Catch seeds to unlock extra cursor shapes
- Better shape means extra nanobots in the game and higher score multiplier
- More seeds you catch more money you earn
4. Maximize combo to unlock new bonuses
- Taking more seeds in a row means more bonuses available in the game and better score multiplier as well
5. Maximize score to unlock new songs
- New songs will raise the number of seeds released and increase score multiplier as well

Okay, I get it. You don't want the bar completely full or empty, so you've got to let the bots get hit just enough. But I shouldn't have had to work that out myself. The instructions need to be much clearer, and not so garish.

Lovely game to add to the music catch type genre. It adds a nice aspect to the game with being able to use money for abilities rather than waiting on random pop-ups. This allows you to manage yourself more strategically rather than having to wait on luck to pull you through. I like the nano cells that add another area of concentration because you have to maintain their health, not only by defending them, but you have to hurt them to keep them alive, adding a good layer of difficulty. I like the upgrades system of how the more you use the skill, the better and cheaper it becomes, allowing me at the end to spam magnetism and just chill at the center of the cell.

Game is difficult to understand but very funny and strategic once you learn principles. I recommend to read instructions first.

I've read the instructions and I still don't understand it. What do the green bars represent? Why are my nanobots exploding? Am I gathering too much information? I don't know what that means!
I want to know how to play this, because it does look fun. I'll reserve judgement until understanding dawns.
