The player has to save the lives of cows on a farm and take control over the design of a synthetic biology vaccine.

The game is inspired by and part of a real synthetic biology research project funded by the EU, MycoSynVac (https://www.mycosynvac.eu).

Ratings and reviews

A fun small way to educate and simplify how vaccines work and are made. But as a game though it could be expanded on more and improved. Navigation UI is terrible it's hard to get to the patients in time. Levels could also be better spaced in terms of difficulty. Otherwise a fun minigame to raise awareness.

Good idea but the awkward sizing and UI mean that cows die way too quickly before you can navigate to them and give them antibiotics. I also sometimes got stuck inside a cow's mouth and couldn't go back without swanbing the disease again, wasting valuable time.

What an amazing game, a wonderful way to educate people but its a bit tough 😅. Love the Concept & gameplay. Good job guys, keep it up, looking forward to more games like this 🤗👍 Btw I heard about the game when watching the Scishow episode. Edit: Just looked at the other games you've made after i posted the review, going to install them now. Thanks guys
