About Upgrades

There are three main catagories of enemies in Super Cell. Each has a matching color upgrade that gives power ups to the Super Cell. The germs produce green power ups that increase the number of bullets fired. The virus produces yellow power ups that increase the size and power of the Super Cell's buzzsaws. Finally, the bacteria produce blue power ups that give the Super Cell the ability to lay bombs. Many enemies receive extra damage from bombs and some, like the infected brain cells, can only be damaged with bombs.

Enemy Types

	Germs The common germ is given free reign once the immune system has been destroyed. Most germs can be killed with focused fire power. Once you've gained enough levels with your buzzsaws you'll be able to kill smaller germs with one hit. This is never true for the larger germs so never charge them. The germ attack has less range than that of the Super Cell. Position yourself so that you can attack them from a safe distance. The real threat from germs comes when ignore them for larger prey. Remember, smaller germs do just as much damage and large germs, so always eliminated the small ones first.
	Virus The virus is small and weak by itself, but given the right host and environment the virus can be deadly. The virus spreads by infecting blood cells. The infected cells later explode producing even more of the virus. The fastest way to stop the spread is to destroy the infected cells before they can hatch. Later, the virus will form tumors that can produce and enhance the virus. Tumors suffer three times the damge from bombs. A good strategy is to put your back to the tumor and fight off germs and bacteria while constantly laying bombs. This can be even more effective when multiple tumors are close by. Of course the regular bullets can still hurt the tumors as well.
	Bacteria The fast moving bacteria is not typically something that you'll focus your attention on, but make sure you take any opertunity you can to destroy the smaller ones. Much like the germs, the bacteria all have the same attack regardless of their size. For this reason it is better to attack the smaller ones first. If you see a very large bacteria make sure you destory it quickly so that it doesn't spread.

General Tips

One of the best moves the Super Cell can perform is the dash attack. To perform it tap twice on the forward key (the up key by default). Charging around the screen can be a great way to mop up the opposition, but make sure you never charge something that is to large. If the buzzsaws fail to kill an opponent then you'll run right into it. In particular this can be dangerous around tumors.

Small opponents are always good targets, but keep in mind that some very large enemies actually produce new enemies. These should become your primary targes as soon as you find them.

When laying bombs around a brain cell, try to circle the cell in the same direction that its attack rotates. Doing so will decrease the chance that you'll take a hit. Going in the wrong direction will almost certainly lead to pain.
