About Post Apocalypse Microbe Lab

Post Apocalypse Microbe Lab is a laid-back idle game from Skipmore, the creator of Kamiko and Transiruby. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, you assist an android named Lyse in collecting microbe samples. The game is designed to run in a corner of your desktop, letting you check in whenever you have a free moment. There's no pressure, no complex objectives—just a relaxing experience with charming retro visuals and occasional chiptune music.

Gameplay is simple and satisfying. Click on microbes to help Lyse collect them, which speeds up research levels. As research progresses, you'll unlock new microbe varieties and the ability to upgrade your lab facilities using coins. You can also salvage junk by clicking on Lyse, which is automatically converted into coins. Your lab comes with basic equipment: a salvage magnet, a bait dispenser, and a tank for microbes, all automated from the start.

Once your research reaches level 10, you can unlock skins to change Lyse's appearance. The game also features an archive where you can view your collection of microbes and junk. Lyse's diary entries provide subtle world-building, and there's a small ending once your archives are full. Keep an eye out for easter eggs referencing other Skipmore games like Kamiko and Transiruby.

Post Apocalypse Microbe Lab is a mouse-only game and does not support controllers or Steam Deck. It's perfect for players who enjoy idle games, pixel art, and a low-commitment experience. Whether you're multitasking or just want something soothing to watch, this game offers a unique, stress-free way to spend your time in a post-apocalyptic setting.
