Lysis To Kill

Lysis To Kill is a game developed for the Android platform. The concept of the game was inspired by Splashback which was a Flash game developed for the Cartoon Network [1]. The original concept involved adding drops of ‘goo’ to a playing board in order to burst ‘blobs’, creating a cascade of bursts. The aim was to clear the playing board in as few clicks as possible. In a similar fashion, Lysis To Kill draws on the same game concept with a twist to mirror the iGEM project we have undertaken.

You start the game with 10 clicks. You are in charge of the friendly, synthetically engineered E-coli cells (in green), and each time you click a cell it shrinks and eventually bursts. Your goal is to destroy all the C.diff cells with φCD27 endolysin, which is fired from your E.coli cells whenever they burst. Each level grants you an extra click, and points are awarded for every C.diff cell destroyed. Bonus points are awarded if you finish a level with a clear board. The game is free to download, and the source code is provided.
