Cell Strike is a game that allows players to mimic how the body’s immune system reacts to a small wound. Players deploy helper cells (blue and round) to the wound site to fight off bacterial infections (prickly and purple) and heal wounds. Specialist cells are the most equipped for fighting off infections, with other cell types, such as scouts, engineers, and killers. Players progress through the game regardless of performance, but excellent performance is rewarded with stars.
