About
STRAIN: Genome race — a cell-capture strategy game about genome racing.
You are a strain. Your goal: seize all nodes before your rivals do. Launch cells at enemy territory, chain-capture arteries, and block opponents with acid pools.
Between levels — a gene draft: pick mutations that bend the rules. Regeneration, colonial burst, symbiosis — every run feels different.
WHAT AWAITS YOU
200 levels across 5 worlds with escalating difficulty
Up to 5 enemies at once — they fight each other too
20+ combat mechanics: hunters, antibiotics, currents, lymph channels, biofilms, mitosis, acid, spore mines
DNA Bank and uncapped strain upgrades
20 achievements with DNA rewards
Daily Challenge — one level, one day, one shot for all players
HOW TO PLAY
Drag from your cell to a target — throw. Hold and drag across multiple nodes — chain capture. The first level is a tutorial; new mechanics unlock gradually.
~2-5 minutes per level. ~12–15 hours for a full playthrough with grinding.
FEATURES
• Procedural generation — every world feels fresh
