Going Viral by Andres Tombo

[raw]
made by Andres Tombo for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

The most microscopic of shooters!

In Going Viral, you play as the world's deadliest (and coolest) bacteriophage, the first of your kind capable of infecting humans. Thanks to a special mutation, you can adapt the abilities of those you devour into your own genetic makeup. The legions of cells that make up your host's immune system will stop at nothing to see you die.

Can you evolve a mighty arsenal and strike fear into their hearts, or will these tiny creatures stop your rampage?

Run and gun, until it's done.

Very nice, specially for only two people. I like the vibe
I did not quite understand how I eat to get weapons and life.
The graphics make it a bit hard sometimes to understand my surrounding.
But all in all solid prototype.:-)

Good game, I liked the slightly PSX graphics even if it's hard to see clearly sometimes. I didn't really understand how the weapons worked or the health, and there was a lack of feedback in that area, as I didn't realize I was taking damage. But the game's still cool

### **Hello!** One of the devs here.

Ok so... sadly the ldjam website has and old version of our game where you spawn in the wrong place, making the game close to unplayable... Will let you know if we are able to upload the fixed version, but as of right now no matter what we try the link in this post will be the old one... If someone knows something about this please feel free to let me know.

Anyways if you still wan't to play it, you can head to my profile and you'll find the link to the fixed version!
