You are the pilot of a micro-robot that travels through tissues, collecting 'samples' from the cells it kills and harvesting samples more efficiently.
Welcome to the project: Emplorer.
You will be piloting a micro-robot to explore the inside of an animal.
Exploring life will not be easy.
Defeat the various immune cells that attack you to move forward.
When you reach your destination, move to the next stage.
You have to fire bullets at specific timing to do higher damage.
If you stimulate the immune cells too much, your test subject's body temperature will rise.
Be careful, because bad things happen when the body temperature is too high.
Upgrade your robot to become more powerful as a reward for your work.
Manage your resources properly to get the job done efficiently.
Key features:
- Diverse enemies
- Biological tissue-themed stages
- Various stat upgrades as you progress through the stages
