possible in Axon. Axon simulates actual neuron development in the brain. Neurons make connections by growing axons to other cells. They navigate by using protein targets. Neuron compete for space to make the strongest connections. Grow your neuron for as long as possible for maximum points.

Click on protein targets to begin growing your neuron. You can only click on protein targets within your circle of influence, so be quick as your circle of influence decreases over time. Be aware of rival neurons that are competing for protein targets. Special power proteins appear throughout the game and are indicated by color. Purple increases the size of your circle of influence, green boosts your axons upwards instantly, blue delays the contraction of your circle of influence while freezing rival neurons, and yellow provides the ultimate boost upwards.
