Tap the Clot

Tap the Clot is a fast-paced medical arcade game that makes cardiovascular and neuroscience education genuinely fun.

Clots, plaques, and emboli converge on vital organs — tap to destroy them before they cause damage. Let golden healing cells through to restore function. Race through stages named after real anatomical structures, battle boss clots, and learn real medical facts between rounds.

FIVE ORGAN MODES Play across five unique clinical environments, each with authentic stage names and medical context: • Heart — defeat DVTs, PEs, and arterial clots across Vessels, Arteries, Chambers, Valves, and the Aorta • Brain — clear amyloid plaques through the Cortex, Hippocampus, Thalamus, Brainstem, and Cerebellum • Lung — battle pulmonary emboli from Bronchi to Pneumothorax • Kidney — defend renal function from Tubules to the Renal Artery • Liver — clear fibrin deposits through Sinusoids to the Vena Cava

FIVE CLINICAL POWER-UPS • Heparin — slows all clots to 10% speed for 5 seconds • tPA Shield — absorbs the next organ hit • Aspirin Nuke — destroys all normal clots instantly • Warfarin — slows clots to 35% for 8 seconds • Beta Burst — area-tap effect for 4 seconds

REAL MEDICAL FACTS Unlock fact cards between stages covering thrombus vs embolus, how heparin works, amyloid-β plaques, pulmonary embolism pathophysiology, renal vein thrombosis, portal hypertension, and more — written at medical student level.

RISK FACTOR EVENTS Random clinical events change gameplay mid-round — a patient who smokes speeds up clots, anticoagulant therapy weakens them. Adapt your strategy to real-world risk factors.

DAILY CHALLENGE A fresh modifier every day — Speed Run, No Healing, or Tough Clots — keeps the game fresh and competitive.

ACHIEVEMENTS & RECORDS Ten achievements to unlock including Boss Slayer, Centurion, Untouched, and All Clear. Track your best score, combo, kill count, and fastest clear time per organ.

EDUCATIONAL USE Tap the Clot is designed as an educational supplement — not a substitute for clinical training. Fact cards are simplified for accessibility. Always consult qualified clinical resources for medical education.
