About Bacteria: Life & Death
Bacteria: Life & Death is a chill, meditative growth game about a colony of microbes learning to survive. Feed them, warm them, and watch them multiply — or accidentally starve them, freeze them, or drown them in toxins. Every stage introduces a new twist: viruses, mutations, temperature swings, chemical spills. There is no rush and no timer. Just observe, adjust the environment, and discover what tips the balance.
It's a focused simulation game made for fans of the genre. Pick it up for a short break or settle in for a while — it runs well on phone, tablet, and desktop alike.
A couple of things help once you get going: Spend the first round learning the controls before you chase a high score. Explore the settings once — sensitivity, sound, and difficulty toggles can change everything.
Give Bacteria: Life & Death a run on Glaze Games: a free, browser-based simulation game you can pick up in seconds and put down just as easily.
