About Against the Gradient
A microscopic world is in need of your help! Add transporters to membranes to move molecules and ions into and out of cells. Your goal is to reach specific concentrations.
Over 20 unique puzzles will help you master the principles of cellular transport. Use channels, co-transporters, and antiporters to master facilitated diffusion and active transport.
Think you understand how transporters diffuse molecules and ions across the membrane? Try making your own puzzles with the built in level editor!

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
This game annoys me. It covers only four real transporters, and the rest are "nanobots" (so they can transport chemicals in both directions). And these two-way transporters work ONLY from higher to lower concentrations, rather than evening the concentrations in an only statistical sense, like in real cells. In that sense, I'd consider it "educational" only in the barest sense, and it's not super-fun as a game either -- but it could be. The only reason I'm voting "yes" is that with so few reviews a negative one would be devastating, and I'd like to see this improved upon. Surely a more complicated (and more realistic) cell-management game could be a lot of fun AND very educational.22 found this helpful
Interesting way of apllying learning to a game. The idea is reatively simiple and straight forward, get the germs from point A to point B. Of course luck will play a hug part in this game. Either way it is still woth the time for younger children as they can learn a thing or two while playing so for that reason I recommend the game!6 found this helpful
it would be better if it didnt get stuck when you have the same number of atoms on both sides
