Real cancer biology
Every enemy is a real process: mitotic splitting, metastatic seeding, paracrine cytokine signaling. Danger is computed the way a pathologist would rank it — health × damage. Nothing invented for convenience.

Field Notes
Built from the disease up.
No re-skinned zombies. The biology came first, and the mechanics follow from it. What you fight in the game is what your body fights in real life.
Bullet-heaven auto-battler
You move; your immune weapons fire themselves. Short runs, relentless swarms, a draft of three upgrades every level-up.
The Sarcoma Core
A three-phase boss: strip its calcified bone armor, expose the soft tissue, then survive the necrotic inflammation surge. Straight from real sarcoma pathology.
Specimen Sheet
Every mechanic maps to a real one.
This is the whole design rule in one table: the left column is what you do, the right column is what your body actually does.
| Mechanic | In the game | In your body |
|---|---|---|
| Mitotic Surge | Enemies split into clones on death | Cancer cells divide by mitosis. Uncontrolled replication is what makes cancer cancer. |
| Cytokine Storm | Fire rate doubles, but you take chip damage | A dangerous immune overreaction that damages the host, not just the target. |
| Membrane Signal | Enemies broadcast buffs to nearby allies | Paracrine cytokine signaling. Cancer cells use it to reshape their microenvironment. |
| NK Cell (you) | Automatic weapons, rewarded for constant motion | Natural Killer cells patrol continuously and destroy cancer cells on contact. |
| Sarcoma Core boss | Bone-armored Phase 1, exposed fleshy Phase 2 | Osteosarcoma builds a calcified shell. Strip it and you reach the soft tissue underneath. |
| Remission Meter | 4,000-unit biomass bar filling toward victory | Tumor burden reduction: the measurable goal of cancer treatment. |
Sourced from peer-reviewed cancer biology. Accuracy is a design constraint, not a marketing line.
