We’re building Immunoblast — a 2D action game powered by real biology. Led by a Johns Hopkins immunotherapy researcher, we turn authentic immunological systems into compelling gameplay mechanics. Mitosis becomes healing. Inflammation becomes a high-risk, high-reward weapon. Every ability, enemy, and upgrade is grounded in real immune biology — reimagined through fast-paced combat and pixel art design. Our mission is simple: 🎮 Make science actually fun to play. 🧬 Bring real biology to the controller — not the classroom. We're not making another educational simulation. We’re designing a game where players learn by doing — through systems that are scientifically accurate, mechanically tight, and unapologetically engaging. Immunoblast launches its first demo in 2025.
