Each mutations increases the Time Counter and awards points! \r\n\r\nPoints can be spent (while in-game) on cell-bombs, which clear an area of 3x3 cells.\r\n\r\nGoal: Mutate x number of cells. X increases with each level. So does the spawn rate of the cells. You loose the game if the timer reaches 0, or if there are more then ~34 non-mutated colored cells on the field.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nLeft mouse button to place a cell\r\nRight mouse button to place a bomb\r\nKey 1 for Red Cell, Key 2 for Blue\r\nQ - to return to main menu\r\n\r\nKnown bugs:\r\n- you cannot form a row or column with all the pieces on the  first layers of the grid (math error, can't fix it without rewriting the CheckCellStatus function!
