Genetic Defense

Monsters are attacking your lab!

Fortunately, you have DNA sequencing and cloning technology. Create super soldiers by stealing the genetic code from your enemies.


Project status:

Not finished at all.

Graphics and animations are horrible. No sound or music. Only two monster types, which are same strength, so game play is a bit pointless. No reset button.

Submitted to the jam for some comments/suggestions on the concept. 

Instructions:

Run game in browser and hit the full-screen icon.

Step 1: Press "Print" to create a new soldier.

Step 2: When a monster is killed, drag it into the recycling to steal it's genetic code. 

Step 3: Find complete sets of 3 letters (a codon) and enter them into the sequencer.(press letter in the analyzer to copy it into sequencer, or press letter in the sequencer to cycle through letters A-C-G-T).

Step 4: Print your new an improved soldier. 

Waning: not all codons are valid. Soldiers with one or more invalid codons will be born dead. Recycle the poor bastard and try again.
Guessing codons is risky, but you might get lucky and find a new codon and unlock secret new powers. 

When the enemy destroys your cloning tank, it's game over.
