Small grey things are taggers. If you hit them, you get 'tagged'.
The more tags you have, the faster the big white things will chase you.
When you have tags, you can get rid of them by touching the green things.
Arrows to move.
Works in Chrome and Firefox without any plugins. It's Javascript, HTML, WebGL, Three.JS
*UPDATE* - I have discovered that on slower computers the movement of the virus wasn't being normalised properly which meant it was impossible to play. I have pushed a fix which means that the virus moves at the same speed for everyone now. I hope this is okay.
*UPDATE 2* - Discovered the game was lagging very badly on Chrome today. I killed Chrome completely and started it again and suddenly it was fine. No idea.
*UPDATE 3* - Post Compo version added. This really just tries to improve the visibility and reduce the motion sickness a bit. Adds lighting effects to help indicate how much trouble you might be in and it generally gets harder the longer you survive so there's now progression, but it's basically teh same game.
When you catch the green bacteria things, any tags you have are passed onto them, which means the white blood cells will ignore you again... until you get another tag. :)
@martinjn oh dear. That error pops up if there's any problem creating a WebGL context which can sometimes happen even with decent browsers. Glad Firefox was okay for you!
Very cool, loved the avoidance style endless runner. Should consider a mobile port down the line ^^ I think it needed a heavy dub beat in the background ;)
Very nice! Love the aesthetic & that dark brooding sound. It took me while to get my head around the fact that you're not supposed to collect any of those things. My best time so far was about 35 seconds by the way.
Very dark, I like it. Quite an original mechanic, sound is good, graphics are impressive. Could have done with some more depth, it does feel very repetitive, doing the same thing over and over.
I like this kind of concept. It's instantly fun. And I think it perfectly mixed with your take on the theme. Great graphics too, somewhere inbetween photorealism and a abstract shooter. Good entry, high grades from me.
Fun, but I didn't get any audio for some reason. I like the atmosphere of the pumping blood!

This game is awesome, but just that little bit to hard for me, I can't get to the green bits, and when I do, they don't seem to take the tags, do you have to hit them right on or something, I was half on them, I would assume that would count, right? most similar games it does. Maybe if I could be bothered to actually focus on the game I could get a decent score, but hey. really great graphics BTW really great indeed.

Fun game with original ideas that renew the classic dodge game. The graphics looks great.
SlipperyPete ... It doesn't always take *all* your tags, depends how long you can stay in proximity. If you skim the outside it'll probably get a few, but not all! Also the collision detection is pure approximation based on distance squared, I just punched in numbers randomly until it seemed to be working okay. It could be a straight up bug though. Sorry about that!

It worked in firefox though
