How to Play

scorpion

You didn’t notice you were stepping on anything until you felt the sting. And now, deathstalker scorpion venom is coursing through your body. Use the antivenom to neutralize, or sort of cancel, the venom molecules before they block the channels in your muscle cells. If you can’t stop them, those muscles may soon be paralyzed!

antivenom bottle

Click to shoot down the red venom molecules with antivenom, to protect the ion channels that help keep your muscles working. Don’t waste your antivenom on chloride ions or other harmless molecules. Make sure to reload on antibodies when each vial is close to empty by watching fluid in the antivenom vial as you use it. The red meter on the right helps you keep an eye on how many chlorotoxin molecules are still on their way in each level. Keep as many channels clear of toxin as you can, to stay healthy and win the game.
