About this game
Cell-Cell Lab is a grid-based puzzle game.
The protagonist Fangfang needs to combine with surrounding cells to navigate freely in the petri dish.
But many obstacles stand in the way of Fangfang reaching the goal.
Perhaps combining with other cells or interacting with pressure plates can help you!
At the same time, properly use the combine/separate ability to adjust your state and pass through narrow paths.
More mechanisms can be experienced in the game! The game also features rich level content.
Highlights
The protagonist can combine/separate cells ("Rules") at any time to complete objectives.
Utilize 8 rule slots that can be acquired or canceled freely, paired with core gameplay to deliver a fresh puzzle experience.
Skillfully use the combine and separate abilities to adjust your form when facing obstacles.
Simple and cute art style offers a comfortable puzzle-solving experience, yet it’s by no means lacking in challenge.
Additional Content
Includes 3 early levels from the demo version
Concise story text depicting Fangfang’s situation
Future Content
More language support
Controller and Steam Deck support
Fangfang’s story may not end here? We look forward to your experience.
