How it feels

A calm, minimalist puzzle game where you methodically infect cells by timing virus collisions and managing resources without any text or pressure.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is relaxing: some find it intense due to the timer. It is a short puzzle game with 45 levels taking about 1.5 hours, using DNA points to unlock cells or barriers. The minimalist visuals draw comparisons to Mini Metro.
