Being a white blood cell is hard work. In Microbial you must help save your host from the tumor that has invaded its body.

A puzzle / action game - you're a white blood cell and your host has a tumor. Navigate through increasingly treacherous areas of the body to find and wipe it out. Evade enemy viruses, trap them in the scenery, or exploit them to solve puzzles - use protein powerups to dissolve cell walls and alter your environment - conquer 40 levels in all.

RELEASE DATE: 6/1/2012
DEVELOPER: NetSavant
GENRE: Puzzle & Trivia

FEATURES
Offline players 1
Dolby Digital
Finally, a puzzle game that doesn't involve flinging an animal across the screen. In Microbial you must navigate your white blood cell through various puzzles to help rid your body of the tumor cells that have invaded it.

You will also encounter other types of cells that stand in your path. Luckily, each of these types of cells will have an antibody floating around to help you navigate around, through, or just blow them out of your way.

You will also encounter lots of virus cells that have only one goal, to attach themselves to your white blood cell and destroy it. Luckily, these enemies are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. You can make use of your environmental and other cell structures to trap and evade them.

Microbial is a very addicting puzzle game that left me wanting more. For only 80 MSP it is a great addition to your XBLIG collection.

If you have an Xbox Live Indie Game that you feel should be featured in an edition of the Indie Games Spotlight, please PM your suggestions to mancide.

I try out a lot of Indies, but I passed over this when I saw it on the marketplace, and after having skimmed this spotlight article, I'm still going to give it a miss....

I like how the 2 people above both have either 'x' or 'i' at the start of their gamertags, have been labelled as cheaters and have had their posts deleted. Goes to show you can often tell what people are like by just their gamertag.

As for the game, I'll give the demo a try but I don't think I'll be buying it. I shall save my points for the indie summer uprising!

Just can't get interested in this one. Though I'm not the hugest fan of indie titles in the first place.
