Game Description

</aside>

Dive into the microscopic battlefield of Cytoblast, a high-octane top-down shooter that puts you on the frontlines of cellular warfare! As a microscopic defender, you'll wield an arsenal of specialized weapons - from antiviral rifles to antibiotic machine guns - as you battle against an infection of hostile microorganisms. Dash through a maze of cellular chambers, strategically switching between weapons to counter different pathogenic threats. Face off against tactical virus turrets, aggressive bacteria, and stealthy parasitic biters while clearing room after room of escalating challenges. With fluid combat mechanics, strategic weapon management, and the ability to throw your weapons as a last resort, Cytoblast offers an intense, action-packed experience where every decision could mean the difference between cellular salvation and microscopic mayhem. Will you be the antibody this organism needs?
