Andromeda


The Andromeda cell has entered a multi-cellular organism… you control 
the actions of this cell and attempt to keep it alive as long as 
possible.

Andromeda can move anywhere inside the organism, but its progress is 
slowed if you attempt to penetrate the walls of the blood vessels.  
Andromeda must destroy cells to gain strength to keep moving and enable 
it to grow in size.  In the enlarged state Andromeda can even destroy 
attacking antibodies, but this state only lasts for a short time.  If 
the antibodies come in contact when Andromeda is normal in size then 
Andromeda will be destroyed.

The fatty cells which make up the bulk of the organism will regenerate 
slowly, while blood cells will regenerate quite rapidly.  The other 
cells making up the remainder of the organism are impervious to 
Andromeda’s attacks.  If you use the blood system you can prolong 
Andromeda’s life.  And remember, as Andromeda weakens, it slows down… 
when it si too weak it cannot move at all.


Levels of Play:
there are seven different levels of play.  Level one, the lowest level, 
it the easiest level to play.  Level seven will be the hardest to play.  
As levels increase antibodies will appear more quickly and move much 
more rapidly.  At higher levels Andromeda stays in its enlarged state 
for longer periods of time.  The antibody gauge indicates the level of 
antibodies in the organism.
