🎯 Current Objective
Defeat all stresses to complete the chapter.
🎮 Controls
◀▶
Move: Arrow buttons (mobile) or ← → / A D (keyboard)
💨
Dash: Gold button (mobile) or Shift / Z: quick burst dodge
⚡
Pulse: E key or ⚡ button: area blast, slows & damages all enemies
🔢
Switch protectant: Tap the coloured buttons at the bottom (or keys 1 to 4)
🧪 Protectants
🔥
Heat Protectant: Effective against Heat Stress ☀. LEA peptides stabilise proteins denatured by extreme temperatures.
💧
Saline Protectant: Effective against Salinity Stress ⬡. Triggers osmotic adjustment genes to counter salt-induced water loss.
🍄
Antifungal: Effective against Fungal Stress 🍄. NaD1 defensin peptides disrupt fungal cell membranes.
🐛
Anti-Insect: Effective against Aphids and Caterpillars. Bt toxins target insect gut receptors.
⚠ Stress Types
☀
Heat: Falls straight down. Fast. Use Heat Protectant.
⬡
Salinity: Zigzags side to side. Use Saline Protectant.
🍄
Fungal: Spirals slowly. Tanky. Use Antifungal.
🟢
Aphids: Fast swarm movement. Use Anti-Insect.
🐛
Caterpillar: Very slow but extremely tough. Use Anti-Insect.
💡 Strategy Tips
✅
Using the correct protectant deals 7× more damage. Wrong protectants barely scratch enemies.
🛡
Your shield absorbs hits. Watch for cracks. Once broken, one more hit ends the game.
🌱
The crop's health drops each time a stress reaches the bottom. Keep it above 50% for a better harvest grade.
⚡
Save the Pulse for when multiple enemies are about to reach the crop: it slows and damages all of them at once.
🛒
Spend credits in the Upgrade Lab between chapters to improve fire rate, shield HP, dash cooldown, and more.
🧬 About This Project
🔬
This game simulates a sealed PGPR bioreactor that senses stress signals and releases targeted protectants, without releasing live bacteria into the environment.
🌍
The goal is to validate that engineered biological systems can protect crops from climate change stress more precisely than traditional pesticides.
