The antibodies move way too fast, faster than the white blood cells, and I couldn't make it past level 2. It would also be nice if you were able to restart from the stage you failed if you die, as restarting the whole game everytime is kind of unforgiving. It was, however, very frantic, and I liked the feel it gave me, despite being mercilessly hard. So if that's the kind of game you like, then power to you! Unfortunately though, its just not my cup of tea..."},{"author_name":"solidplasma","author_uid":"3463","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 3:59am","epoch":1355716440,"text":"I had trouble controlling it, and I didn't seem to be able to damage the cells, but I love the concept.

Your job is to kill all plant\/animal cells in your host. As you progress the cells in your host become more resistant and more and more antibodies and white blood cells appear to try to kill you. There are 10 fast-paced levels with the tenth level containing the goat cell boss.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nLeft to pivot to the left\r\nRight to pivot to the right\r\nForward to make your virus go the direction it is facing\r\nBack to make your virus go the opposite way that it is facing.\r\nSpacebar to attack\r\nEsc to pause the game\r\n\r\nYour Enemies:\r\nWhite Blood Cells: White Blood Cells are fast and do quite a bit of damage but they will only charge at you when you are attacking an animal or plant cell. Hurts you if one touches you.\r\nAnti-Bodies: Anti-Bodies are slightly slower and weaker than White Blood Cells but they will constantly follow you. Hurts you if one touches you.\r\nPlant Cells: Plant Cells are stationary green rectangles that you must destroy to advance.\r\nAnimal Cells: Animal Cells are red circular moving cells that you must destroy to advance.\r\n\r\nAttacking:\r\nYou attack by pressing the Spacebar. You can not move when you are attacking but you are able to pivot. If you are over a plant or animal cell you will start to do damage to it.\r\n\r\nNote:\r\nSorry about not having any sound. I tried to implement some but I couldn't get it to work.<\/p>","title":"You Are The Virus"}
