From the Steam store

Bacteria Buster is a lighthearted cleanup game set inside a lively petri dish. Bacteria continuously emerge from random positions, and your job is to move the mouse, bring down the swatter, and complete each stage’s objective before contamination reaches its limit. The controls are immediate and easy to understand, but rising bacterial health and increasing spawn pressure will gradually make upgrade choices, automated defenses, and resource management essential.

Grow from Manual Swatting to Full Automation

Clearing bacteria earns Coins, while rare enemies can also drop Diamonds. Improve the power and area of your swatter, increase the efficiency of automatic swatting, and develop research upgrades associated with different bacterial strains. Every purchase changes how you approach future stages, allowing a small manual experiment to grow into a cleanup system capable of operating on its own.

Deploy Nano Robots and Automatic Medicines

The laboratory contains six Nano Robots with distinct combat roles. The Nano Cutter rushes through nearby enemies, while the stationary Nano Gunner fires in multiple directions. The Nano Pulse Cannon sends energy through every bacterium in a straight line. The Nano Tracker launches homing missiles, the Nano Ricochet rebounds from the walls of the petri dish, and the Nano Mortar bombards crowded areas. Robots can be dragged into position and upgraded, so thoughtful placement is just as important as raw power.

Four Medicines activate automatically whenever their cooldowns finish. Lysis Medicine creates a cross-shaped burst. Conductive Medicine chains damage between several targets. Cryo Medicine damages and slows bacteria, while Sustained-Release Medicine leaves a persistent field over a crowded area. Combining Medicines with your Nano Robots gives you the tools to stabilize the dish when the bacterial population begins to grow faster than you can swat it.

Face a 200-Stage Campaign

The main campaign contains 10 petri dishes and 200 stages, with each dish introducing a different bacterial strain. Beginning at stage 6 of a dish, stronger Super Bacteria may appear and reward Diamonds when defeated. Stages 10 and 20 are guarded by enormous Bacteria Kings, and every King must be eliminated before the experiment can continue.

Advancing through the campaign unlocks archive entries and the first rebirth system, Restart Experiment. Spend Diamonds on permanent universal attributes, restart the experiment, and return with a stronger foundation for the next cycle.

Continue into 1,000 Stages of Endless Mode

Completing the campaign unlocks Endless Mode, where all resources and upgrades carry over. Random mixtures of bacterial strains replace the campaign’s single-strain dishes, while Super Bacteria and regularly appearing Bacteria Kings keep raising the pressure. Refine your upgrade path, improve your automated lineup, and discover how far your experiment can go.
