It's like a more difficult and yet far easier (once you get the hang of it) version of Infectonator. I like this a lot, but I wish it were more fun. The pacing is too slow, and it's too easy to die and too easy to live forever.

Also, there's a WEIRD bug where an NPC walked into the wall where the vent is and just stood still until a zombie came an got him. Until that zombie got him though, the framerate hit rock bottom.

Good entry, I still can not get over the first room I can not figure out how to turn off the spray in the pipeline -.-

Normaly don't run exe's named virus

Wow, this game is quite laggy, but yet its fun

Fun game and kinda hard too until you grasp how it works!
Liked the graphics too, good work!

This is a great game all round, but I feel it needs a bit more explanation to ease players into the game.

Play as the virus and the graphic presentation of this game is pretty cool. :)

It lags hard on my computer (I am on windows 8).
However, cool graphics and atmosphere, and I dig the gameplay idea!

Had a few framerate issues every now and then and it took me a while to figure out exactly how things worked. Once I got going though it was pretty cool.

Fun game, I really liked it.

Nice game, can't stop playing

kinda short game, as soon as you get the hang, it's super easy. it would have been nice to have more levels (as soon as all are infected)

@trentfealy : Lol, same! it could have been an interpretation of the theme: "to be a real villain hacker" ^^

Good game, well designed, just lack instructions

I cant figure out how to infect any one and it still looks very fun.

diningphilosopher 2012-12-18 20:46

Nice graphics (I like how the virus moves!) and cool start. It's fun, but more levels + an end would be nice. It has potential!

Rofl, feels dodgy downloading a file called virus.exe.

Once I knew what I was doing, it was pretty fun. Playing as a sentient virus is a cool idea. I also liked how there was strategy in staying near zombies to beat antibacterial people but targeting gunmen when they were on their own.

Pretty fun game, nice one.

Really fun and loved the idea but it's really short

snutt 2012-12-21 15:50

I prefer playing the virus rather than the zombie! Great work!

mokujin 2012-12-21 15:58

Fun game but too short)

sclark39 2012-12-21 15:58

It seems like it requires you to die and restart at the checkpoint in order to progress past the first room (otherwise you don't have enough power to make it through the vents). There is also very little feedback on if I am infecting someone or not, which was confusing.

myachin 2012-12-23 06:18

great

spelchan 2012-12-24 03:39

A bit confusing at first. Once I was able to get out and infect someone on the outside rooms zombie outbreak made the game too easy. Would have been nice to have more levels, possibly with greater and greater scope until you conquer the world. As with many others, I feel naming the file virus.exe was not the best choice.

blob 2012-12-25 04:34

That's a fun concept. The game needs more polish for level design and look but its a pretty cool idea worth developping :)

cassio 2012-12-26 17:48

Good job. Is this game hard or am I doing something wrong?! I got an slowdown even though my PC is high-end.

Fun game and interesting game mechanics. Graphics remembers 'Hotline Miami'
