I don't know... I am still in love with Immune Defense. I had some health issues that were not expected but I have survived. I am working on a schedule for game development! More soon to come!
YEAH, I really love this game and I see since 2019 it has stopped updating until now and so I'm worried this game has stopped development. It is one of my favorite biology games. It's honestly the best immune system game I've ever played. I hope you get well and continue to develop this game. Have a great day. (Sorry, my English is not good)
Thank you for the kind words! Your English is great! I am very encouraged by your words and also, by the response of so many Immune Defense players over the years. I have started making a few smaller games, I am working on a puzzle game: the pieces of the puzzle are proteins.... And the goal is to set up a metabolic pathway that creates the product each puzzle is asking for. This puzzle game takes place in a Steampunk Nano world. After that game is ready, I will be working on the Immune Defense world again. ❤️ I have a newsletter ...and a patreon... And a blog at the ScienceGameCenter.org. I am going to be writing more consistently on these: reporting on my progress and discussing science and game design. Thank you for your interest and encouragement!!! 🦠🦠🦠
Such a niche invention! I love it but, it's much harder after the movement levels, may be you could easier it to bring more fun? Cause I don't wanna get stuck...
It's a lot easier with a mouse... level 5 is pretty hard!! Were you using a mouse? Level 6 gives you the ability to get cells anywhere along the vein, which obviously helps a lot. Also: to move cells faster, turn off all the receptors besides the move: with only move receptors on its easier to move cells.
We are re-building the game, so we will be making the levels ... well, not easier, but the progression will be smoother!
Once you start Level 1, there is a MENU button on the top right. In the Menu, is an OPTIONS button. This will let you change the RESOLUTION of the screen. This will make the UI bigger! Switching will be easier
<3 Yeah! I intend to add more cell types! We are re-coding it all from scratch so it will play on modern tablets and in browsers. Then we will add more cells plus more microbes!!!!! Keep in touch, I would love to know what you think!
The file is zipped. When you unzip it it will still only be 18 MB. But it should work. Let me know! I honestly have not tried it myself in a long time.
This version of Immune Defense is a prototype for a large, RTS style game. I have 250 levels planned... but I need a team to make the full version. What would you like to see?
Immune Defense taught me a lot about what makes a game fun and how to help people approach science and keep having fun.
I am working on a mobile mini version. The plan is, make a mobile, endless phagocytosis game and learn even more about fun while slowly building up my team and our audience.
I will be continuing to blog at MolecularJig.com/blog. I hope you join me on the journey and thanks for playing!!

When will you update this game, it's 2025 now.
:) Thanks for asking!

Windows 10 AMD Ryzen 5 3400G
In level 2 the game brings cpu usage to 100% (91% from program) lagging my whole pc
No one else has reported such an issue.
I run the game at expos all the time on Windows 10 and 11.
There isn't anything about level 2 or the game that could possibly be using so much processing...

Yes I was using a mouse, the difficulty is "switching".
Switch the vein gates, switch the receptors, and switch the cells, the tiny buttons... it's easy to fall into disorder.
And grabbing the protein is also not very smooth.
So improve the way of control? ; )

Just a suggestion, add other cells such as helper T cells, Eosinophils, etc
<3 Yeah! I intend to add more cell types! We are re-coding it all from scratch so it will play on modern tablets and in browsers. Then we will add more cells plus more microbes!!!!! Keep in touch, I would love to know what you think!
Awesome Game! Really fun and has taught me how the basics of immune systems work!
Thanks!! You can leave a review for this game and many others at ScienceGameCenter.org
Would Development Ever Continue?
I am trying to get some funding!! Please keep in touch! ❤️ Thanks for asking!!
Very interesting game about the immune system!
Thanks!!! :) I'm glad you liked it!!
I tried opening Immune Defense with the latest update on mac but it says the app has been outdated. Can you fix this issue?
Nope. Sadly Mac changed their OS too much. I am working on a new game and eventually an updated version of ID. Thank you for your patience!!
We are making progress on the new version! Just an update!
Linux version is not working... Why it only 7 MB tho..
The file is zipped. When you unzip it it will still only be 18 MB. But it should work. Let me know! I honestly have not tried it myself in a long time.
After extraction, i only find executable file and no data folder like in Windows version…
I apologize. I will have to take down the linux version. :(
when will it be updated?

id like to see the lung levels. the game so far is rather short and i beat all of the levels within a 30 minute - 1 hour time period
We would love your feedback, everyone.
