Viral 0 is a shooter top-down inspired by the classics of this genre. But its setting is peculiar: in fact, the player plays the role of an antibody fighting against nasty viruses.
Good work! Nice colors, I like the pinkish, for some reason the game ends when I get to 1400ish, I'am not getting hit (as far as I can see) is there a timer or something on it? More special effects, power-ups etc would have been fun. Maybe there were but It kept ending, before I was dead.
Could I put in a plea for a portable (non-install) version? Call me a neat-freak but I don't like to clutter up my registry with LD games :S
Also I'd really recommend not calling the executable 'Ludum_dare_31.exe' because it becomes indistinguishable from all the others! Call it something like 'DevFrank_Virus0.exe' or something so people can find their way back to your page after playing it ;)
It felt like a solid and well made game. The music was sweet but the sound effects got at bit repetitive after a while. The strongest part of the game was definitely the slick graphics. Great job on the sprites! Oh, by the way, I was not that fond of having to install the game. I would have preferred just getting a .exe to run.
Nice game! I like how the big blue/orange omelette thing breaks up in to smaller ones. I'd have liked a fullscreen mode, since I kept losing the mouse cursor.
Nice music and graphics. Took a minute to figure out that you have to hold down the mouse button to shoot. At first I only clicked to emit single bullets (trying to be economical..) but that didnt work. Maybe you can fire a bullet with the first click or tell the play to hold down to fire? I like bacteria/virus inspired games. Funny game - good work!
