How to Play the Game

How to control the game?

Bacteria Invasion is exclusively played by using mouse to point-and-click.  The red bacteria is Player 1, and the blue bacteria is Player 2.  The little square box on the right shows which color of bacteria is the current player.  To move a bacteria, simply clik on the bacteria, an hourglass with a pointer will appear, and then point to the new location and click.

How far can each bacteria move?

The maximum distance each bacteria can move is within radius of two blocks from its original location.  When a bacteria moves within distance of one block, it duplicates itself.  When it moves two blocks away from its original location, it does not duplicate itself; it simply moves to the new location.

What happens after a bacteria moves to a new location or duplicates itself?

Once a movement is made on a bacteria, ALL bacterium around the final location of the movement will be infected and become the same type of bacterium as the moved bacteria.
