It's Passover, yo! Why is my charoset different from all others? Here's what I put in it:

apples

pecans and almonds

Manischewitz grape wine, aka Jew Juice

coconut white vinegar, dried coconut flakes

dried turkish figs, dried blueberries, golden raisins

chopped mint

cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg

splash of orange juice

lemon juice and zest

sea salt

Not pictured: the remaining 9 pounds

Nick Santaniello, Inessah Selditz, Andrew Belinsky and Zachary Madere are Rumpzillas.

Their game is MICRO MEDIC, a biology-themed shoot ‘em up battle between a user-controlled microrobot and various viruses and pathogens. Think 1942 meets Body Wars.

Your robot (below) is equipped with bullet-like antidotes for defense, but be warned: as you destroy viruses with various antidotes, it increases the next-generation’s immunity to that antidote. To compensate, you’ll need to switch antidotes periodically, even as the viruses grow stronger and faster. AKA, the future.
