Heart.ache/nascension

A bit of an idle game, just click the icons at the bottom to spawn your cells, and try to stay healthy for as long as possible.

Cells

Blue cells will expand your veins outwards, allowing you to breathe easier.

Green cells will add junctions to your veins, allowing you to have more branches.

White cells will attack and destroy viruses.

Viruses

Virus A will head straight for the heart, damaging it.

Virus B will attack your veins, cutting them off in an attempt to suffocate you.

Virus C will attack your cells, turning them against you.

RPS


When a white cell and a Virus C collide, they will play rock-paper-scissors to determine who wins.

Breathing


To survive, you must breathe! Only veins which have open air on at least one side will breathe

Post-jam Changes

  • Scores and highscores. Your score is simply the number of milliseconds you survived. Your highscore is saved locally in your browser, and might disappear if your browser cache is cleared, or when the game is updated.
  • New “mitosis” currency that is used to buy cells. Mitosis increases over time. Breathing accelerates mitosis.
  • Much better pathfinding and AI target selection.
  • White cells can now take on up to 5 A-type viruses before dying. They also have much better odds against C-type viruses.
  • Much cleaner difficulty curve with threat level display. The percentage is spawn rate, the letters correspond to virus types, and the number in brackets is the current difficulty.
  • Many other minor balance changes and bug fixes.
