Build A Cell

Ever wanted to build your own pet cell piece by piece, feed it and defend it from hazards both external and internal? Well now you can! This engaging little game (built using Flash) entertains and educates simultaneously. While you are building your cell, each component's function is explained and demonstrated with practical applications. As your cell becomes increasingly more complex, so do the hazards come faster and more dangerous. Keep it fed, keep it producing energy and raw materials for growth and regeneration, and watch out for viruses! The game teaches you cell biology and mechanics while you play. There is a bit about transpermia as the goal is to build the cell, train it up, and send it to another planet to ensure the survival of a species of rather clever and industrious platypuses... Note that I have not made it through the end of the game because the action becomes too frenetic for my optical control system to control. My cell gets killed by virus attack. I try not to take it as an omen...
