played this awhile a go and when we got on this subject in biology I realized I knew all this stuff already. hmm wonder if I can get extra credit for showing my biology teacher this

this game is quite simply amazing, i have not thought of a better game that is fun, and subliminally makes you the smartest person in biology

definitely good for bio. wish there was a survival mode or a second one where you play as a cell in a larger creature like a white blood cell in a human. or stem cell.

I would REALLY like to see a longer version, or some sort of sandbox.
The whole game is a tutorial/science lesson, but it would be nice to follow it up with more gameplay to use what you've learned.

To beat lvl 8 just get >50 fatty acids and >2500 ATP, and do not buy any poison until you do... And when you do get them - just burst buy 50 clicks worth of poison (1 click = 2 poison) and win.
With ~20 lysosomes and ~30 slicers per wave you should be able to defend yourself easily until you farm the required Glucose to get these amounts of fa and atp.
When you do buy the poison, you might want to use any remaining atp to move around, and evade some of the viruses that will come at you, in order to slow their intake. You should be able to reach 100% and win pretty fast though.

I loved this as a kid. Remember playing it while eating some great tacos. Now I'm finding it as a useful resource for my high school Accelerated Bio class. Time sure flies, huh?

If I was teaching biology I'd definitely assign this game for homework. Excellent educational software! (Used to be a teacher, so I'm not just talking through my hat here.) Only gave it 4/5 stars though, because the music is disruptive to concentration. Also, the game balance is weighted just a little too heavily toward education while being slightly stingy in providing actual gameplay. Still... overall, great game. :)

I honestly learned more from this game than I did from my 9th grade bio class. I didn't even know a golgi body had a trans face!

It's a good game. -- funny story and understandable biology. It took me a while to figure out level 6, but I realized I had the wrong approach. Once I figured out I needed tons of lysosomes I finished that level easily.

in a more advanced sequel you could include intricacies like the ETC, how energy is released from the third bond in ATP and then becomes ADP, more plant cell organelles, and how different cells interact with each other. otherwise this game is a good recap on my cellular biology unit

After years i found this game again and decided to try and beat it, but it dosnt work now, it gets stuck on start, please fix this its an amazing game!

I really enjoyed it and once I started, I was hooked straight through til the end. Those interested in refreshing their biology vocabulary and basic concepts on cell structure have access to the essentials but it's not forced on you. If you just want to play a cute/funny game, you will hardly notice it's educational! I am now a big fan.

Can't do anything atm. Game starts, but none of my keys lead to anything. Timestamp: oct 6th '16 - Gonna try it again later, looks interesting so far ^^
