ABOUT THE GAME
Bacteria: Life & Death is a chill, meditative growth game about a colony of microbes learning to survive. Feed them, warm them, and watch them multiply — or accidentally starve them, freeze them, or drown them in toxins. Every stage introduces a new twist: viruses, mutations, temperature swings, chemical spills. There is no rush and no timer. Just observe, adjust the environment, and discover what tips the balance.

STRATEGY & TIPS
Scout before you commit — knowing what you're up against is worth more than an early aggressive move.
Balance economy and offense; over-investing in one usually leaves you exposed on the other.
Think a move or two ahead and consider your opponent's likely response before committing.
Defend key positions rather than spreading your forces thin across the whole board or map.
