Keybinds: - arrow keys to scroll through discovery list - click items on the list to insert it into the working environment - drag things together and merge them to make new biological molecules! - work your way up to creating a cell! Here is an outline so completing this game is plausible: Completing this checklist will unlock the final cutscene! THE PRINCIPAL BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES 1. Form Polysaccharides - via polymerizing a Monosaccharide 2. Form Lipids - via glycerol and fatty acids 3. Form Proteins - via polymerizing amino acids 4. Form Nucleic Acids - via nucleosides and nucleotides CELL NECESSITIES 5. Form Phospholipids 6. Form Ribosomes
The merging action is a little bit bugged; make sure you release your mouse click within .5 seconds of merging something for the best experience Cheat Sheet (it's worth cheating to get to the ending, trust me): Mission 1: Polysaccharides Carbon + Hydrogen = Hydrocarbon Hydrogen + Oxygen = Water Hydrogen + Oxygen = Hydroxyl group Carbon + Water = Monosaccharide Monosaccharide + Polymerize! = Polysaccharide Mission 2: Nucleic acids Phosphorus + Oxygen = Phosphate group Nitrogen + hydrogen = Nitrogenous base Monosaccharide + Nitrogenous base = Nucleoside Nucleoside + Phosphate group = Nucleotide Nucleotide + Polymerize! = Nucleic acids Mission 3: lipids Carbon + Oxygen = Carbonyl group Carbonyl + Hydroxyl = Carboxyl group Carboxyl group + Hydrocarbon = Fatty Acid Hydrocarbon + Hydroxyl = Glycerol Fatty acid + Glycerol = Lipid Mission 4: Proteins Nitrogen + Hydrogen = Amine group, Amine group + Carboxyl group = Amino acid Amino acid + Polymerize!–> Protein Mission 5: Phospholipids Phosphate group + Lipids = Phospholipids Mission 6: Ribosomes Proteins + Nucleic acids = Ribosomes
