Aim of the game...

Erradicate the 5 Covid variants to stop blood clots forming

Move the Helper T Cell around with keys;

Z = Left

X = Right

SPACE = Move up with velocity / UnSpace to drop with velocity

Move the various collector points on your Helper T cell to collect the spike protiens off the Virus.

Navigate towards the White Blood Cell to deposit the Spike Protiens.  Be careful not to land in the centre of the White Blood Cell else you will be eaten and die;

Only place your collectors on the  outside of the white blood cell to deposit the protiens.

Once all spike protiens have been removed AND deposited, then the white blood cell will target the rest of the virus and kill it....

but beware, if you are too slow, then the virus will re-generate spike protiens so you may need to go back and remove more....

Whilst you are not carrying any spike protiens the white blood cell will stay away.

Once you are carrying spike protiens, the white blood cell will target you.

Once all spike protiens are gone, then the white blood cell will target whats left of the virus.

Throughout the level, blood cells will fall to the bottom of the screen and start to form a clot.

If a clot forms across the whole of the vein then its game over!  Speed is of the essence....
