Protein Pirates!

"Protein Pirates!" is unique in it's game play in that you play as a self aware virus taking over a human body. That's right, with only the will to propagate , the pirates will stop at nothing to claim the body as their own. As the newly appointed captain to the Protein Pirates the player will embark on a voyage across 7 different organs to lead their pirates to victory. Battling through the bodies defenses and other foreign attackers, you must reclaim bio-technology that has been stolen from you while also automating functions of your virus. While functions of the virus start off at a micro level of control and involvement, the game will gradually move towards macro level play.

In 2012 we won grand prize in an international game jam called "The Indie Speed Run" with a 48-hour version of "Protein Pirates!" The game has drastically changed since then and grown in scope and size. For contrast, the original can be viewed on Newgrounds as well as Gamejolt.
