Nano is a thrilling biology adventure with real science in its DNA.
A strange virus is sweeping across the globe. As a trainee in a top-secret bioresearch program, you control a nanodrone -- a tiny machine that can inject into patients around the world, fight their infections, and hunt down the mystery virus itself. To do so, you'll need to master the cell's living systems: energy, DNA, proteins and transport. You can unlock and build increasingly powerful immune weapons to take on invaders.
Excellent game! Well worth the price! Great narrative hook to start off with, then a good progression to build your skills. Excellent graphics, to a point where you feel like you're really fighting viruses. After a while, as you get more weapons and experience, you can figure out optimal strategies against what you're going up against. And you're going to need them! Trying to keep up with all that's going on will have you doing cell maintenance, amino collection, keeping your energy up, and trying not to die from pathogen attacks.
I finally finished the 'Extreme' level - took me 8 tries to come up with a way to handle the final onslaught. So what's next? Will there be a Nano 2? I'll be looking forward to the next installment!
I Love this game ! This game is great and I was never very good at biology. I wish they had this game when I was in class I would have learned everything so much easier. You are a nanobot inside of a person's body that is sick helping them function properly until you can find and kill the virus that is attacking them. Except this game isn't super easy You really need to be prepared to remember what they tell you. Once I got going I did not want to stop playing this game!
Enticing learning. By training I am in physics and optics but I often work on project collaborating with biologist. I yearned to learn more about our body but had no easy way in. The terminology I picked up in my job helps me to recognize them in the game. Now I get to know how that works! And I realized the game website has more learning tool to get familiarize which is what. I would be great and essential for player to dig deeper so the impact would go beyond just "graphical icon recognition" into solid biology learning tool. I thank you for such a wonderful game to push public science forward. Better educated citizens make a better world.
Really good educational app. I haven't tried any other educational VR app that is this immersive! It's memorable too. The tasks are simple and easy to follow, they can feel a tad repetitive at times but to be fair it stops you forgetting the earlier parts of the story.
Having to put on a headset as part of the narrative does feel a bit meta but kinda works. Occasionally the in-app movement makes me feel a bit queasy (only slightly) but this might just be me.
Overall a great app with a good story. I'd definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn about cells and biology.
Amazing! This game is not only educational, but awesome and fun! I’m in biology right now and it helps me stick the stuff i’m learning into my head. It also has a great story, and they used(i think), ai great! Like with the voice of biden it rly felt like he was addressing us on covid. But anyways, the story is interesting, and the mechanics are super unique, and so is the whole game, this is a must buy with a lot of content for only 15 bucks. Buy it rn!
First Person Healer - Educators Review. I am genuinely fired up about this game. Playing for the first time as someone who has read, talked about, and taught cellular biology, Nano deepened my understanding in ways that other media probably cannot.
Typically, these processes are learned in isolation, segmented into different units and chapters. By delightful contrast, Nano brings these processes to life, showcasing the cellular juggling act that unfolds at a remarkable speed, trillions of times within us every living minute.
As the game progressed beyond the initial basic infections, the complexity and excitement only increased. Just as I was feeling proud of how efficiently I could produce energy and incorporate a new protein into my toolkit for tackling new germs, I faced the challenge of malfunctioning equipment.
I've talked, taught, and drawn about Lysosomes extensively, but for the first time, I 'held' a Lysosome in my virtual hand and used it to fend off the baddies once I reeled them in with my microtubules. Bravo for making Nano embodied and exciting, while embodying the real-deal organelles of a cell.
My passion for science and experiential learning finds a perfect match in this app. It's a breakthrough in educational technology. I strongly encourage educators, especially those teaching life sciences and environmental studies, to introduce their students to this phenomenal experience.
Too often a game’s narrative and its learning goals are distant cousins. Nano really invested me in the mechanics of the game, the science of the cell, and the narrative of the fictional outbreak. It's an unforgettable journey that might transform a few reluctant learners or slow readers into engaged participants in the fascinating world of cellular biology.
This is something special I hope to share with my kids and students and I hope it sparks a future epidemiologist out there!
Excellent game with an education twist. I was curious and decided to give it a shot. This game is excellent!! The environment looks great but where it shines is in the educational portion. You are learning about cells and structures in a fun way as your survival depends on it. The voice acting is excellent and I easily lost track of time because I was having such a good time. I highly recommend giving this game a go.
Real science made fun in VR! This game is just so fascinating! It is different than other VR games. The graphics are totally stunning and the fact that it is base in real science is so intriguing! It is like being in the Osmosis Jones movie, where you travel inside a host body and work to eradicate the viruses. The controls are easy to figure out. The game gets to be a challenge as you have several different tasks to monitor and complete on each mission. Multi tasking is an absolute must but yet the game is rhythmic while also working against time. I find myself playing for much longer than I intend. Add this game to your library!
Wow i am really flashed. This Game is something completly new. Your ship is an organic cell that you have to keep alive and at the same time defend it against viruses and bakteria that kills you and the body you are inside. Discover new elements, Sequence DNA strangs and always watch out that you can defend yourself . To destroy your enemys you have to craft antigene one by one , shot by shot. This is so much fun and everything works as it should. Till now i had zero bugs. The concept and the way they made this idea come alive is simply excelent.
wow! This game should be getting a lot more attention than it’s getting. Great visuals and haptics—totally immersive. The narrative is actually meaningful and the tasks feel intuitive and satisfying. I’m not fast, so trainee level is a bit too challenging for me—I’d love to have an even slower option so I could just take the time to do things at my own pace while appreciating doing them. Other than that suggestion, the game is perfect!
