CellCraft, is a thought-provoking strategy game set in the microscopic world of single-celled organisms. Players take on the role of a simple amoeba who must survive and thrive in various hostile environments.
Players must make, use, and transform resources like ATP, glucose, and amino acids, as well as the cell's various organelles, including mitochondria, lysosomes, and the endoplasmic reticulum. The player must hunt down and digest organic material, survive waves of infectious viruses, and more.
UPDATE: Cellcraft is now playable at a flash portal near you!
CellCraft was commissioned by Anthony Pecorella of Wake Forest University, through a generous grant from the McArthur foundation.
