About game
Strain: Genome race is a fast-paced real-time strategy about microbes fighting over a Petri dish.
Command a colony of cells: send streams of population to neighboring cells, capture them and expand your empire until you dominate the whole map. But brute force isn't enough — the one who evolves wins.
Spend precious DNA in the Evolution Shop: upgrade your strain's production, capacity, attack, shell and stealth. Unlock powerful mutations in the Gene Bank — division, toxins, regeneration and more.
Five worlds and dozens of levels throw new threats at you: antibiotics shake the map, hunters roam the field, quarantine kicks in, acid spills out. And the enemy AI plays smarter with every level.
Come back daily for rewards, test yourself in the Daily Challenge and climb the leaderboard. Simple one-tap controls — deep tactics under the microscope!
How to play
Goal — capture every cell on the map. • Hold your cell and drag to a target — half of its population is sent. Aim the stream at an enemy or neutral cell to attack it. • If your population is larger, the cell becomes yours. Your cells keep growing over time. • Drag across several of your cells at once — they all strike together to break strong defenses. • A cell with the ✦ marker grants a mutation when captured — pick an upgrade for the round. You earn DNA for cleared levels. Spend it in the Evolution Shop on permanent strain upgrades and in the Gene Bank on mutations. Watch for hazards: antibiotics shake the field, hunters attack, quarantine locks a cell. Act fast, evolve — and infect the whole world!Game info
