BioForge turns cell biology into a fast, replayable survival roguelite. Guide a microscopic organism through hostile stages, collect DNA, choose mutations, defeat bacteria, viruses, spores, and bosses, then spend coins on permanent cell upgrades between runs. Each mutation is tied to a real biology concept. Flagella help movement. Mitochondria support faster attacks. Toxins damage nearby threats. Ribosomes boost production. Chemotaxis improves collection. As you play, the Codex unlocks short lessons that connect each mechanic to living cells.
