  • Master your ship's mechanics such as flying, barrel rolls, exploring, and intense shooter action.
  • Add Time by defeating glowing, green, diseased invaders of all kinds.
  • Fuel your shields with nutrient power-ups.
  • "Pop" infected pustules to unlock valves that block your path.
  • Use a spray weapon to neutralize acid.

There are many strange creatures that lurk, ready to attack you on your journey...if you can make it.

Mission Briefing


You are a military scientist whose body is mutating after being infected by microorganisms that somehow escaped an enemy bio-warfare lab. Now, your life depends on defeating these pathogens by piloting a nanotechnology battleship called the Shotbot.

You have just gone deep underground into a classified research lab. Here, you enter a zero-gravity isolation chamber to visualize defeating disease through an interactive neuro-link to the Shotbot. During your battle, it is crucial to maintain your energy supply and restock weaponry by killing pathogens and collecting nutrients. Be vigilant, even in your darkest battle, because some of the enemies you defeat will leave behind powerful weapons.

Combine ancient wisdom and modern technology to mobilize the untapped healing resources of your mind.

Heal Thyself.

It's gross, and janky, and weird. It's less than an hour long, but not padded for time.

Pretty fun, needs a little work in the preferences department but a cool concept and not as gross as it sounds to play. :)
