Absorb Invader
SteamIn this game you travel through the space to gather information about local lifeforms and use it to evolve. However you are not just usual big grey eyes alien, but the simplest one-cell organism, so you need to absorb other organisms and gather their genetic information.
You and other cells have attack area and your core. Your goal is to protect your core from enemy attack area and to absorb enemies core with your attack area. And enemies won't surrender without a fight - even when running away they will hurt you.
As you grow smaller organisms give less food, so you need to go deeper. As you go deeper the bigger enemies appear. They give more food and dna on defeat, but the deeper you go, the more diffucult these enemies become, even if they are same size with you.
To grow stronger use all collected DNA in your DNA Lab and upgrade your damage, health, regeneration and all other stats to gather DNA more quickly and be able to defeat stronger enenmies.
Try to defeat the boss at the bottom as they will give you a lot of DNA on defeat. Find your best strategy to do so
