iPhone
You're Dr. Etty, fresh out of the PhD program with one petri dish, a stubborn streak, and a dream: cure the world — and build a biotech empire while you're at it.
Tap to synthesize your first vials of vaccine. Reinvest. Automate. Watch a cramped university bench grow into a humming, self-running lab that prints discoveries while you sleep.
THE PIPELINE
Production is only half the science. Vials pour out of your machines, chill in cold-storage freezers, then ship out on a growing fleet — from a lone courier to drone swarms and hyperloop capsules. Keep the line balanced and the money flows. Let it bottleneck and the freezer overflows.
BUILD THE LAB
- Dozens of producers to buy and upgrade, from bench reactors to nano-factories
- A research tree that compounds your output
- Perks, formulations, and upgrades that stack on an honest curve
- Freezers and a shipping fleet to move every last vial
SPIN OFF STARTUPS
Hit the ceiling? Spin off a startup, bank your patents, and begin a fresh program with a permanent edge. Fund an endowment that survives every reset. Each run goes faster and further than the last — a long arc that unfolds over days.
EARN WHILE YOU'RE AWAY
Your crew keeps the reactors bubbling while the app is closed. Come back to a banked surge of overnight earnings and a backlog ready to ship.
AND THE CATS
Nutter and Butter run the lab's morale department. Pet them. They've earned it.
HONEST DESIGN
No paywalls in front of the fun. Everything you can buy is additive — the free game never gets worse to push you toward a purchase. Optional boosts just stack on top.
Hand-crafted pixel art, satisfying taps, and an economy tuned for the long haul. Put on your lab coat, Dr. Etty. Science isn't going to fund itself.
• Tap as fast as you like — vials now keep popping no matter your speed.
• New late-game content to unlock, plus a premium lab makeover.
• Performance and polish improvements.
