What players say

Players call this a short educational tower defense game about cell biology, made by students. Most praise the clarity and fun, but agree that level 4 creates a stark difficulty spike. Players disagree on whether the game is too hard or too easy after finding the pause button, and many ask for more levels or an endless mode.
