About Gelluloid Domination

A fast-paced strategy game of fantasy biology. Start with a single fragile cell and expand across the network, assimilating rivals to grow your gel-powered army. Evolve mutations, unlock new abilities, and fight off deadly pathogens. Adapt and conquer, expand or be consumed. Every decision shapes the network — will you achieve total domination?

Intuitive yet Demanding:

This is a minimalist strategy game. You start with simple mechanics: transfer gel to assimilate cells and manage gel production, but when and where you act changes everything. Watch your opponents, time your moves, and adapt to their strategies. With a variety of cell types, network layouts, and upgrades, every match plays out differently. Experiment, strategize, and stay one step ahead.

Over 80 Hand Crafted Missions with Unique Goals:

All missions have been designed with pen and paper to offer a diverse set of challenges, requiring you to adapt and learn new strategies. Beyond classic domination, you’ll face:
  • Survival Mode – Hold out against viral swarms.
  • Reservoir Fill – Gather enough gel in a "tank" cell.
  • Race Mode – Get to the target before your opponents.
  • More unique objectives to challenge your tactical thinking.

Gel Technologies – Bio-engineer Your Arsenal:

Find DNA strands to mutate, evolve, and enhance your cells:
  • Mutations: Transform your gel into deadly medusa, spike, or explosive forms. Mutate defensive turrets to shoot down incoming viruses.
  • Evolutions: Passive boosts to production, speed, and efficiency.
  • Nano-Boosts: Strategic “abilities” that shift the tide – slow opponents, disrupt production, or attract viruses to enemy cells.

Specialized Cells & Strategic Expansion:

Some cells offer key advantages, while others can leave you exposed—expand wisely to secure the best cells before your opponents do. Beyond the basic cell, you'll encounter a variety of specialized types:
  • Attack, Defense, and Production cells – Boost transfer speed, reinforce defenses, or increase gel production.
  • Carrier cells – Move freely, transporting gel to disconnected areas for flanking attacks.
  • Link cells – Create new connections in the network.
  • Vortex cells – Teleport gel instantly across the network.
  • Cycle roads and other mechanics add even more strategic depth.

Fierce AI, Adjustable Difficulty Setting:

AI-controlled opponents fight to dominate the network just like you, with no unfair advantages – just pure strategy. Crank up the difficulty for a heart-pounding challenge.Are challenges too hard? You can lower the simulation temperature to have an easier time, but the rewards will not be as good.

Advanced Tools for Hardcore Players:

Experience-enhancing functionality is available for power users, such as Continuous Send, Chain Linking and the Passive/Aggressive toggle. Cell information panels provide insight into the raw numbers driving the simulation.

Orbicorp Mission Statement

Below is the standard issue onboarding letter.Welcome, doctor, to the Gelluloid Labs micro-life research program. We are Orbicorp, leaders in bio-tech and DNA disease analysis. We study alien life forms to enhance our medical expertise with fascinating knowledge of new cellular behaviors. Our vow is to not only heal the sick -- but go beyond that and super-charge biological functions in all humans, ensuring our race continues to dominate the known galaxies. By injecting a special type of Gel under strict laboratory conditions, we are able to study how these extraordinary alien tissues work to endure the extreme, life-threatening conditions of the far away solar systems.Our newest research produced the Green Gel, a new type of gel that can be controlled by hardware buttons and that can be seen through the microscope.As a scientist, you are trained to complete these experiments. Your reward will be in the form of Research Points which you can spend developing new technologies in the Lab.Thank you for reading this job description. Should you choose to apply for the position, your findings in Gelluloid Labs will lead to great advancements in human medicine and biological enhancements - sometime in the years to come.A beautiful and serene Lab is made at your disposal by Orbicorp for free: ** For the duration of your experiments. Orbicorp may terminate your contract without prior notice, and have a new scientist move in. The Lab is expensive to run and we can't waste any time or money.

This is honestly so cool, and the visuals genuinely immerse you into this microscopic realm. It's been on my wishlist for a long time and boy does it not dissappoint.

If you like fast-paced strategy games this is THE game for you, I got hipper focused on it for 3h straight :)) This would be even more fun with a co-op option !!!

So far so interesting. The game's fun, though there's very little tutorial and at the start it feels more like a "drag the cells from one to another as fast as possible" simulator but its fun. I will update this review if/when my opinion changes but so far so good!

Upgrades are functionally useless because you have to pay your research currency to use them after paying the research currency to unlock them. Continuous send is made useless by wandering viruses in the background that ignore the node map. An unfortunately weak entry into the genre.

This really took me back to the phage wars era, it's a bit of that with a TON of upgrades and strats you can plan for. If you into minimalist RTS, node-conquest, or infection-spread puzzles, this hits the spot. A bit annoying you have to use tech funds from research to also use that stuff (you might find yourself overinvesting in tech you woops can't use after purchase) and that you don't always see the enemy's strength (unless you buy an upgrade later and only lasts 30s) but maybe it's just my need to have full info on all the stuff going on :)

Honestly? Too many levels where there's only one solution, and finally hit a wall at 03-06, even on the lowest settings primarily due to the gimmick. The gimmick appears to be using the virii to weaken other sectors, then invade, as the means to invade isn't able to overcome the inherent regeneration of the defenses alone, even if that's all you spend gel/time on. The virii are a joke (both to you and the AI) so this leaves you stuck, unable to invade quickly enough to progress. The ability that supposedly attracts them doesn't appear to make much (if any) difference. They also completely stop spawning after a certain point, generally without having hampered ... anyone. Even the other abilities appear broken. As in, as far as I can tell, they do nothing. I'm not even sure the "upgrades" work, as they don't appear to modify the stats from base at all when chosen. Also resets what you have available with each session, though apparently still remembers that you upgraded them. Additional ability slots say the tech tree unlocks them without there being anything there that does so. If it's locked behind progress, I never got far enough to see it, despite completing the first two sets. …
