WASD / Arrows to move  ·  Space to BLOCK (0.5s shield, 2s cooldown)  ·  E to ENGULF (phagocytosis grapple, 6s cooldown). Auto-attack happens whenever your membrane overlaps an enemy.

Real amoebas kill prey by wrapping around them. Press E within close range to start engulfing the nearest enemy. Hold the wrap for ~1.2 seconds and you deliver a massive 60% max-HP hit. The target can escape if they sprint outside your reach.

Balanced freshwater giant. No specialty — well-rounded for any matchup.

Pathogen. Each hit injects cytolytic toxin — target bleeds 3 HP/s for 5 s, stacks up to 3×.

"Brain-eater". Fragile but blisteringly fast. Each hit triggers a brief speed burst — hit-and-run specialist.

Multinucleate giant. Tanky and slow. Each hit also damages nearby enemies for 40% splash.

Spiny acanthopodia. Reflects 30% of incoming damage to the attacker — punishes aggressors.

Models the EhCP cysteine protease gene. T (active) is completely dominant over t (inactive). TT = 1.6× damage, Tt = 1.2× (dominant phenotype), tt = 0.7×.

F = fluid sol cytoplasm, G = stiff gel. The heterozygote FG has truly blended viscosity — neither allele wins. Controls pseudopod extension rate → attack speed.

Damage-per-second is not one gene. It emerges from two loci: TOX sets damage per hit, CYT sets hit frequency. Neither alone determines DPS.

A single locus with four alleles — actin variants with different movement speeds: V > F > S > C. The most dominant allele present is expressed.

Pigment granules in the cytoplasm. R = red granules, B = blue granules. In RB heterozygotes, both pigment populations are produced simultaneously — the cell displays both colors as a visible split.

The pellicle is the protein-rich surface coat that determines membrane toughness (max HP). Its gene sits on the X chromosome. Type I (XX) carries two copies — can be a heterozygous carrier (X^DX^d). Type II (XY) is a sex linked trait — one copy, no carrier state, full expression of whatever allele is present.
