Phage Wars Game Instructions

🎮 Controls

• Mouse Click & Drag: Draw lines between cells to send parasites
• Left Click: Select source cell
• Right Click: Cancel current action
• Mouse Hover: View cell information (parasite count, strength)

🎯 Objective

• Infect and take control of all cells on the map
• Eliminate other competing parasites (both AI and player-controlled)
• Become the dominant species by controlling the most cells
• Complete each level to unlock new parasite types and abilities

⚠️ Tips

• Cells regenerate parasites over time
• Larger cells produce parasites faster
• Your parasites must outnumber enemy parasites to capture a cell
• Don't leave your cells undefended - keep some parasites for defense
• Watch the parasite count numbers carefully before attacking

💡 Strategy

Beginner Level

• Start by capturing nearby empty cells
• Focus on larger cells first for faster parasite production
• Only attack enemy cells when you have significant number advantage

Intermediate Level

• Create chains of connected cells for faster reinforcement
• Use multiple cells to attack a single target simultaneously
• Cut off enemy supply lines by capturing strategic middle positions

Advanced Level

• Time your attacks to coincide with enemy movements
• Keep track of regeneration rates for optimal timing
• Create defensive barriers of cells to protect your territory
• Use decoy attacks to draw enemy parasites away from their cells

🔄 Progression Tips

1. Start with small, undefended cells
2. Learn each parasite type's unique strengths
3. Practice managing multiple attacks simultaneously
4. Master timing of attacks and reinforcements
5. Develop strategies for different map layouts
