made by jeffrydegrande for LD30 (JAM)
Virus Quest is a Side Scrolling 2D Shooter Game in which you take the role of a Network Administrator that was so pissed at the viruses that were infecting his network and kept his network disconnected from the world that he dived into the system himself to wipe them out!

Fire bolts of data to blast down the viruses while you dodge your way through the computer network road!
Use the Arrow Keys to move and Space to shoot. You earn points by killing those nasty viruses. Challenge your friends to be the greatest psycho network manager and collect the most amount of points of all!

That's about it.

The graphics are nice. I think the enemies could move around a bit more so you can't stay in one spot as easily

Man I made it to 100 points. It was very fun, way fast, sfx is way too loud for the game. Made me dizzy too.

Good graphics and feel of speed, but very repetitive and not so original. Moreover i dont really understand the link with the theme but its cool.

Thanks for playing our game folks. Really appreciate the nice comments.

Our take on the theme is you're a network administrator having to fix up your systems, as they're so infected with viruses it's currently disconnected from the rest of the world.
We had to cut down scope drastically and didn't get anywhere near implementing all the ideas that would have made that clearer.

I liked the art, but the gameplay was a bit glitchy, specially when getting to the edges of the screen.

Nice audio, but I feel like the gameplay could be a bit more innovative.

Make it slower, add enemies and powerups and it will be a standart fun SHMUP. Nice graphics

Nice art. Pretty smooth to play. Suggest you make a timer so that they don't take dmg every frame when on an enemy. Apart from that, add more art and powerups and enemies and you have a really nice game :)

Nice graphics regular gameplay. It is a shame to see so many games developed with unity. Developers of the world: Please use or develope free libs and tools for your games. The world will grant you....

Kind of annoying that I can fly out of the screen.

Hi there. Unplayably fast. Nice scrolling BG, just too darn quick!

Pretty cool. Liked the music and art, though I think the player character has alight mismatched style. It's difficult, fast-paced fun. Good job!
