Virus

Interesting puzzle game concept, but I think it would help to have more guidance for the player. Honestly I'm stuck on level 3 and I just don't know if I understand the interactions well enough to figure out what I'm suppose to do.

One thing that would really help a lot is if the character could visually show what direction it was facing. Over half my deaths were from forgetting that.

Other than the above issues, it is a solid entry. The graphics are simple, but fun. The music has a nice upbeat feel to it. The main game mechanic of all the virus cells acting in unison is interesting. With a bit more polish it would be a neat little game.

Thanks for the comments

It's true that it is not clear that you can kill blue cells making then shot, firing them two tims very fast. Should have explained better or mada levels that make it more clear :-)

This is a fun puzzle game with some unique ideas. I think the difficulty curve is quite hard because I couldn't get past level 3. At the start of the game the UI was a bit small in full screen. Other than that this is a really cool game jam entry that could be continued!

I didn't manage to solve the third level but it's a nice game with cool ideas. I like how the virus propagates.

Cool puzzler with unique mechanics! I didn't get past level 4, so maybe the difficulty curve is a bit off. Very nice tie-in to current events, also =)

Not bad! There were some legitimately interesting puzzles in there once I figured out how to play it. As others have said before, my main complaint is that I can only actually play this game once I know how to, and so I got stuck and almost quit fairly early on. Overall though, good job!

Very fun and challenging puzzle game, took me a while to get used to the game mechanics though.

I managed the 3rd level but only after reading the title of the level. Didn't pay attention to this at first. I find the theme a little insensitive, but also funny. It doesn't really make sense though.

A fun little puzzle game with some unique mechanics. I got stuck at lvl5. It took a while to figure out how the blue cells move and how they shoot if they die. Sometimes it was a bit challenging for me to fire fast enough to kill the blue cells, maybe the timing could be a bit more forgiving.

Not very much I can add to what was already said. It took us quite a while to settle on a theme that did _not_ have anything to do with a virus - but one of the ideas we had was similar to yours :D My largest complaint is probably that it is not possible to see the direction you are facing to know where you will shoot - the rest would very likely be fixed with some more time for playtesting (difficulty curve, tutorial)

Interesting puzzle concept. Figuring out how things work was fun.

This is a very nice puzzle game with pretty graphics. I had some problems getting past level 3, but managed to finish the game anyway. Once you figure out you're supposed to kill the blue cell at just the right moment so it shoots in the perpedicular direction with a double shot it gets a lot easier.

I like idea of the game. Nice graphics and interesting puzzle!

Its hard but it's actually possible to beat I made it to the final level 7, once you figure it out you feel like a genius, just great all round game, fun to play, good graphics, good audio, unique take on theme. No issues with this game.

Not bad. But the blue squares felt inaccurate in how they stopped and random in how they moved. A little odd that the green ones seem to hit the walls visually but still infect other green ones on the other side of the wall, as if an invisible projectile hit them. I think I solved one of the levels in a way that wasn't meant to be solved that way.

Oh I didn't expect it to be this puzzly based on the screenshots but I like it! Took me a bit to long to figure the movers out. A different kind of projectile would have been more intuitive than the double shot. The chain reactions were awesome though!

Cool puzzle game with a good theme! However, I didn't really understand how to play at first, but your tutorial post in the blood really helped me. This game is unique and inspired. I had fun once I figured it out and enjoyed the gameplay. Improvements: some more simple levels at the start as I did begin to struggle. Great game overall! Well done!

Cool idea with cute artstyle and nice sounds! I feel that the blue squares sometimes move at random, e.g. at level 5 sometimes I made the square to the right move up by shooting at it and sometimes it just didn't want to go up

Cool game! i love the art!

macdoom 2020-05-04 22:03

Genius game! 5/5! Loved it! the graphics, the animations... and the puzzles! I had a lot of fun playing it. Really innovative. Hats off!
