## What is Biocell?

Welcome to the microscopic world! Biocell combines logic, strategy, and experimentation at a microscopic level. Move your cells and capture spots to take the board and triumph over your opponents. 

Win cells by dividing and multiplying; jump from spot to spot to gain territory; close in on your opponents and blow them apart. Just make sure the good guys don’t get caught in friendly fire! 

Battles take place in three locations - leaves, mold, and water. Each battleground has its own features: teleporters, bombs, or yeast which threatens to take over the whole board as it grows and grows. 

There are six types of cell. Regular cells divide, move, and change the color of other cells. Yeast scatters seeds and takes up random spots. Temporary and permanent blocks make the game more difficult. Bombs blow up everything in their path: the good guys and bad. Teleporters move cells around the board.

You don’t need any expert knowledge, just dive in! Every completed level opens up new challenges. There are even extra levels for the real tactical masterminds out there!

GAME FEATURES

• 82 levels. Objectives constantly change even within a single location so you won’t get bored by the same challenges over and over.
• Three game modes: transform cells to safe colors, spread more cells than your opponent across the board, or eliminate your opponent entirely.
• Three unique locations: leaves, mold, and water. New cells and inventories in each location. 
• Objectives and difficulty levels change in each location. 
• 6 types of cell: regular cells, temporary and permanent blocks, yeast, teleporters and bombs.

### 1/5 — bad code

*2021-12-03*

the game has levels where u need exactly a number of moves made to win, even if the board is cleared, but on some levels, u pass even when bugs r still on the field. also for future games, more features that make it more like what the cell environment is like.

### 5/5 — Милая психотерапия)

*2021-01-30, version 1.3.4*

Прекрасная игра, которая помогает расслабиться, в каком бы сильном нервном напряжении не находился. Приятная ненавязчивая музыка, не вызывает раздражения, как в некоторых приложениях. Жаль только, что уровни кончились и новых пока нет... Но я начала заново, хоть и пройдены были уровни, а все равно забываются и интерес не теряется. Спасибо Вам огромное за разработку это милой головоломки! Надеюсь, что новые уровни когда-нибудь появятся.

### 1/5 — Only first 20 levels are free

*2019-06-02*

You can solve the first 20 levels rather quickly. Nothing difficult here. Then you have to pay to see what may be more interesting levels. Frankly, the game is boring and I wasn’t convinced to venture further. Save yourself some time and just skip this one.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for the feedback. We will try to come up with something. If you have any ideas how to make the game better, please contact us at support@biocell.xyz

### 5/5 — Cute game

*2019-05-31*

Neat game so far, after every puzzle you’re subjected to a 30 second ad which is kind of lame. I feel like I’ve watched more ads then played the actual game.

Edit: I didn’t realize that after the starter levels you can remove ads for $1! Definitely worth it.

**Developer response:** Hi! It's great that you appreciate the neatness! We will make ads appear less frequently in the next update.

### 4/5 — Not bad! Not bad at all!

*2019-05-30*

Sure it’s pay to play, but dropping a dollar on all the levels, normal and hard, AND no ads is actually pretty nice and worth it. Usual apps will go as far as to make you unlock levels with one price and block all ads for another, but this one is just one package deal. The levels here are really well done, and even the “easy” levels are tricky and force you to use your mind! This game might be my favorite to get the mind running again, but I do hope to see more levels in future updates. Other than that, it’s a good game!

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for a great review! We appreciate it. New game mode with new levels will be coming with next major update.

### 1/5 — Pay to play

*2019-05-29*

You can’t even get past level 3 without spending money.

**Developer response:** Hello! Some levels are tricky so you can challenge yourself. Please try again, we are sure that you will succeed :)

### 5/5 — «Пища для ума».Рекомендую!

*2019-02-08, version 1.2.1*

Интересный дизайн, ненавязчивое музыкальное сопровождение, хорошо подобрано для каждого уровня(в заданиях с бомбами не стали за счёт музыки усиливать эффект обратного отсчета, поберегли нервишки, за что отдельное спасибо:-))
Советую всем, кто не прочь потренировать извилины;-)

### 5/5 — Хорошая игрушка!

*2018-11-25, version 1.1*

Лёгкий, не напряжный паззл, хотя поскрипеть мозгами придётся. Очень понравилась музыка- настроение задаёт просто отлично!

### 5/5 — ))

*2018-11-07, version 1.0*

Отличная логическая игра, сложная, интересная и вовлекающая. Like!)

### 5/5 — Залип как ребенок
