Mutator Genes

A Casual Educational Simulation Game

The form of the game is much like a "Snake" game except that player controls the food that is eaten by the snake. In terms of the theme, we choose to discuss the microcosm of human beings—genes. The “food” is bases which make up codons of genes, and the snake is exactly the DNA structure. Player behaviours would influence the codons' synthesis and eventually shape the appearence of the host. There are 6 endings in the jam release version of our game. Please feel free to download and try it out!

Game Mechanics

  • Snake-Like Mechanics

    The player controls the food instead of the snake, influencing what the snake consumes.

  • Player Influence

    Player actions directly impact codon synthesis, which in turn shapes the appearance of the host organism.

  • Multiple Endings

    The game features 6 different endings based on how the DNA is built in the jam release version.
