aMAZECells - Prototype

aMAZECells is a serious game prototype designed to teach the fundamentals of biochemistry and infectious diseases by using a sphere-based maze as the game world. The player controls a spherical craft and can defeat enemies (viruses and bacteria) while navigating through human body tissues that have been transformed into mazes. Collect substrates and energy (in the form of ATP) to defeat viruses and produce antibodies. To complete a level, open the maze's portal (an enzyme) by collecting the specific substrate hidden within the maze.

Controls

• Arrow keys: Tilt the maze right, left, down, or up; the player moves in response.
• Keys A and S: Increase (A) or decrease (S) the speed at which the maze tilts.
• Key X: Bullets - Defeat enemies at close range. Uses ATP as ammunition (this mechanic is to be implemented in the future).
• Key C: Antibody - Produce antibodies that push back enemies or restrict their movement.
• Key Z: Jump - Perform a short jump, useful for collecting items or clearing gaps in the maze.
