A downloadable game

Inject yourself into the living world of Bio-Gun. Play as Bek, a vaccine created from pig DNA, on his mission to save his creator's dog from the destructive Dooper Virus. Befriend cells along your journey, explore and discover the biological world around you to attain collectables, DNA altering powers, and fight to save vital organs from failing before it's too late! Will you be the vaccine to save dog-kind from extinction or will DocX once again return to the drawing board?

Bio-Gun is a fast-paced action-adventure shooter set in a microscopic world. Upgrade your arsenal and stats by trading globs (in-game currency) with the local shopkeeper or by discovering collectables scattered throughout the corridors of the body.

Bio-Gun features a large injection of charming and fleshy characters brought to life with traditional 2D frame-by-frame animation. We prioritized slick and intuitive 2D controls and included multiple customization options that allow both keyboard and mouse purists as well as controller jockeys to not only thrive but survive!

Be the hero mans best friend deserves. Make things personal by naming the dog that is falling hopelessly ill to prove that you'll be the vaccine that can save the world.

any idea on when release will be. ive got to play more of this game. i need to beta this or an alpha version. just inject more of thiis game in my life, asap. please. this game is one of those perfect games like hollow knight or super metroid. please how close are yall to release? im sick of waiting for silk song. this game would fill the hollow knight void perfectly. suggestion. finish soon, this game cant compete with silk song. so that going to mean crappy sales if ya relese after silk song. just saying

We LOVE the enthusiasm! You are more than welcome to join our Discord and become a beta tester. Whenever we have new builds that require testing you can opt in. :)

Currently our release window is scheduled for Summer 2023. My guess is that Silk Song will release this year or  early next year giving us some distance between their release and ours. But thats hypothetical of course. :D

aww man. that sux that your expected release window is that far away. i look forward to seeing how this game shapes up. kudos to the art direction for this title. keep it up. this is gonna be a huge win fer ya guys. you guys are doing amazing work. cant wait to see all the upgrades yall dream up

thank you guys. i cant wait to fork over my dollars to own this game. this feels like the anticipation i had for dread.... i hope you guys manage to actually pull it off. metroid did not pull it off in my opinion. what kind of stuff have you added. it just hit me that thee needs to be some face paced levels where you ride on something. like maybe blasting bad blood cells as you fly around the patients blood stream. or oooo try this flying around as electrical energy in the nervous system. repairing broken patways to fix some of the patients problems. idk you guys are doing fine on ideas im sure. im just super juiced about this game. its realy got unlimited potential. because you can add expansions of different parts of the body or even missions to map genomes or more missions. wonderful job tho devs. i cant say enough good stuff so far

Loved the demo!  I can't wait for the full release.  This is the first time I think I'll check back and wait for a full release.  Most of the time I lose interest, but this one is fantastic.  Good keyboard controls.  Good mechanics.  Great metroidvania aspects.

Thrilled to hear this! We can't wait for you to experience the full game <3
