Well, I'm sorry, but I just didn't have much fun with this. The antibodies move way too fast, faster than the white blood cells, and I couldn't make it past level 2. It would also be nice if you were able to restart from the stage you failed if you die, as restarting the whole game everytime is kind of unforgiving. It was, however, very frantic, and I liked the feel it gave me, despite being mercilessly hard. So if that's the kind of game you like, then power to you! Unfortunately though, its just not my cup of tea...

I had trouble controlling it, and I didn't seem to be able to damage the cells, but I love the concept. I made a microorganism based RTS once.

Didn't seem to want to run for me.

Moving around is quite nice at top speed, looks like how a real virus might move. Well done :)

Too hard! Maybe it says more about me then the game :P

Very difficult, I couldn't make it past the second stage. The virus movement is very nice and very believable, but the game itself is hard to play. The lack of audio is a shame because it would have really helped the mood.

I actually had a bit of fun whizzing about frantically as a virus :)

I did manage to make it past the second level, it just took a lot of time repeatedly going back and forht for over 7 minutes haha. But superb game very nice build.

this game is too fast and hard for me.. actually pretty good idea)

Great game idea. I felt especially sinister impregnating cells with my viral DNA. All while avoiding the body's defense mechanisms. It seems like the cells had a bit too much health. Also, I would have liked to see some immediate reward as I finish off cells.

While I liked the concept, the game was simply way too hard for me to play.

Fast-paced, enjoyable, well done! Could use more feedback/effects so that the game seems more responsive though!

Also, no sound?

Anyway, nice one, looking forward to the next!
