Domainabus

Defend the bloodstream. Fight mutating superbugs. Survive the AI.

Domainabus is a 2D top-down survival arena shooter set inside a petri dish. Take control of a white blood cell tasked with defending a host body against waves of mutating, antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.

🔬 The Twist: A Dynamically Evolving AI Backend

Domainabus features a true split-client architecture. An external Genetic Algorithm (Python Flask API) tracks your weapon usage and pathogen survival metrics in real time to evolve the next wave of bacteria. As you deploy different antibiotics, the pathogens develop resistance, change their compositions, and mutate into aggressive red "Superbugs."

🎮 Core Features

• Evolving Pathogens: Battle three distinct classes—the standard Bacteriophage, the speedy zigzagging Spirillum, and the ultra-heavy Coccus tanker.
• Adaptive Arsenal: Balance your loadout between the safe Pistol (Beta-lactam), the wide-spread Shotgun (Macrolide), and the devastating Grenade Launcher (Cipro)—but beware, heavy weapons trigger rapid mutations!
• Inter-Wave Mutation Overview: Inspect exact average resistance increases and dominant threat breakdowns calculated by the AI before confirming the next wave.
• Smart Fail-safes: Includes a 25% "Monotony Breaker" chance for unpredictable AI counter-strategies, and a procedural client fallback if the server goes offline.

🛠️ Setup & Architecture

This project consists of a Godot 4.6 (GDScript) client communicating via JSON payloads to a Python 3.14 (Flask) server.
