Gene Expression Rave
Promotional puzzler for Roche Applied Science.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 19, 2009 (Dallas, TX) – Dallas-based Blockdot has launched “Gene Expression Rave,” a new game for Roche Applied Science, a leader in the delivery of advanced research tools that accelerate life science discovery.
“Gene Expression Rave,” which combines funky-fresh artwork with awesomely addictive (and brainy!) fun, supports Roche Applied Science products used in university research labs across the United States and Canada. With absorbing gameplay, a leader board for posting high scores, and a challenge-a-friend feature, “Gene Expression Rave” brings out the gamer in every scientist.
Awwwh yeaaah, ready to get the par-tay started!? Your goal is to match the nucleotide discs on the game board with the “reference DNA” discs in the top-right corner of the screen. Click on a disc to flip it (G/C flips to C/G, A/T flips to T/A). Each time you flip a disc, the discs above, below, left, and right of that disc will also flip. Solve a puzzle and you’ll move on to the next round. But watch your step on the dance floor: each puzzle is more difficult than the last. Fail to match the “reference DNA” before you run out of moves and this rave comes to an end!
