Atmospheric and good-looking game, only the controls are frustrating. Sometimes nothing happens when I attack the red cell.

Personally, I thought the controls were pretty cool. Although I had the difficulty on 1 and still got killed a fair amount. But maybe I'm just terrible.

I like the graphics but the controls are very hard to get used to and the game is a little boring overall

Viral Attack captures the mood and is fun to play. I enjoy this dark theme, and nice representation of your health & mana. Being able to use tactics with the stun ability is a plus! Good work :)

Good game, controls are a bit hard though

Really enjoyed the mood of this one.

Cool idea, but weighed down by clunky controls. I wouldn't recommend playing this in the web version because it's easy to click outside of the window.

It shares some elements with Osmos. Nice use of the repelling system. We like it!

Nice game. Had to play around with the controls a bit to get used to them, but after that it was quite a nice game to play.

Took some time to take a grip on controls, but after that game is quite fun! Loved the mood and sound effects, graphics is good too.

Cool concept, takes a while to find out whats going on, but then it's fun and challenging :)

arcturusdeluxe 2013-08-27 17:26

Yeah I got a bit of an Osmos vibe from this as well. Took me a sec to figure it out, but cool game.

That 'clink' sounds metallic.
But quite moody atmosphere.

tomcooper3d 2013-08-27 18:01

graphics are really nice cool mood and i liked the controls

jimmydelaney19 2013-08-27 23:09

Took me a bit to figure out. I had fun.

First of all, thanks for checking out my game earlier :)

Nicely done. I actually like the menu. Work on menus sadly is under-rated.

I would like to see a higher res version of the menu to match the level of resolution in the actual game.

Cheers

The web player barely fit in my window. The game has a real steep difficulty curve. Also I found that the attack command wasn't always responsive. Sometimes it got interrupted and the reason for that wasn't really clear. Rate me back! http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=5288

great presentation and concept!

Very fun game. The controls are pretty good, after you get used to it.

Had to download the executable file, the game got so intense after some time that I always accidentally clicked on other tabs, or the Unity dropdown menu showed up :)

nathanhoffer 2013-08-29 03:51

I liked the controls actually. It just took me a second to learn them.

I enjoyed this entry thoroughly. It was pretty good.

Interesting gameplay. It was kind of cool to stun the white blood cells and then ram into them to kill them. If you add some more abilities, it would be even better. Good job.

Nice little game!

xaizil 2013-08-30 22:58

Often couldn't attack the red cell, controls seemed unresponsive. I like the movement though

whiteravens 2013-09-04 04:50

Could have been a great game if the controls weren't clunky. I don't know if I'm attacking or not as well. Still, one of the most innovative I played so far though.

Very nice game!
I like the game mechanics, graphics, music and sound.
Well done!
