Quick Start Instructions
Goal You're the doctor - cure your patients of their infections! Bacteria enter the screen from the left every 25 seconds and they're aiming to infect your patient on the right. Let too many bacteria go untreated and your patient will die. Build a maze of antibiotic towers to slow and kill those bacteria. Earn money to buy or upgrade towers. Your patient will tell you his/her symptoms to help you plan for what's next.
Controls

Use the mouse to choose towers in your "Pharmacy" and then place them on the game board. The "Start/Next" button starts sending the next wave of bacteria. The "Menu" button will pause the game.

Antibiotic Towers & Bacteria

  • The "White Blood Cell" tower is your basic defense system but it won't be able to handle all these bacteria aiming to infect your patient.
  • Each type of bacteria is weak against certain types of antibiotics but not others.
    Choose and place your antibiotics wisely to treat (kill) each wave of bacteria. Profiles of the towers and the bacteria are available to help you.
  • The "ID & Sensitivities" button will tell you explicitly about the weaknesses and resistances of the bacteria but using this might cost you.
  • Also, you have the option of customizing your arsenal of antibiotic towers in the Pharmacy before the game starts.
  • Keep in mind, the time it takes to sell a tower goes up as you sell more towers. Be sure to plan ahead for the delay!
