Evolve and absorb the antibiotic resistances and abilities of the bacteria you destroy by splicing their DNA into your plasmid!\r\n\r\nUse WASD to move and QE to roll, and the mouse to look around.\r\n\r\nClick to shoot toxins.\r\n\r\nHold Space to scan objects.\r\n\r\nWhen you have collected some plasmids from destroyed bacteria, press TAB to open the upgrade menu and splice DNA.  There are three sections of the plasmid that can be upgraded, giving different abilities in each. Your current abilities are displayed in the bottom left.\r\n\r\nRotate the plasmid to see which DNA segments you have available - they appear as red strands of DNA in a box. You can click and drag them from the box down onto the plasmid ring, and drag DNA segments from the ring back up into the box.\r\n\r\nFor an example of this in action, see this video:\r\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SIohRsbVLNI\r\n\r\nIf you have more than one spare section of DNA, you can click the arrows at the top of the screen to cycle between them.\r\n\r\nThe current spare DNA segment shown in the box can be destroyed and converted into health if you are running low, by clicking the button next to it.<\/p>","title":"Mighty-chondria"}
