About Strain: Genome race
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 • Synthesized audio, no external assets • Daily reward • Full Russian and English localization
