Start with a futuristic version of Chinese checkers invented in a biohazard lab, add just a dash of the cantina scene from Star Wars, and you'll get a pretty good idea of what AmoebArena is all about. This strategy game's concept is simple: pit your army of microscopic organisms against your opponents' microscopic armies in a free-for-all arena battle. Imagine the game of Risk invented by a mad cellular biologist.
