Proofreader
A first-person shooter built the same way as this site — no game engine, no WebGL, just a Canvas-2D raycaster. You are the proofreading domain of DNA polymerase: sweep a chromatin maze, clear replication mutations, and collect A · C · G · T. Plays with keyboard and mouse-look, or entirely by touch.

How to play
Move with W A S D or the arrow keys. On touch, drag the left half of the view like a thumbstick.
Look by clicking the view for mouse-look (Escape releases it), turning with Left / Right or Q / E, or dragging the right half on touch.
Fire the proofreading pulse with Space, a click, or the Fire button. Aim assist helps on touch.
Survive escalating waves of mutations. Nucleotide pickups restore charges and integrity; the radar shows what is hunting you.
