Virus Protocol

You are the virus. Shoot down the white cells, copy yourself, and reach the door.

Get it on Steam
  • Stage 3-5 — a round white-cell boss hovers mid-air, raining a diagonal stream of shots down onto a green virus on the floor.
  • A red boss with a health bar fires across a brick chamber at the green virus, spent shells piling up on the ledge below a row of spikes.
  • A firefight in full swing: the virus returns fire on a red boss from the right while shells scatter across a spiked floor.
  • Three copies of the virus stand together on a ledge while burning projectiles arc down through the brick shafts around them.
  • Five copies of the virus lined up in a walled room, with lit bombs sitting on the platforms above and below them.
  • Stage 3-4 — two green light shafts fall through the level, the virus riding one of them down between banks of spikes.

About

A pandemic that will not end, told from the other side: you are the virus, and the white cells are the ones hunting you.

Get close to an enemy and you fire automatically — but only while you stand still, so every fight is a question of when to move and when to hold. Pick up a heart and you split into a copy, or two, each mirroring your inputs from somewhere else on the screen: twice the gunfire, or a way to hold a switch on one side of a room while you stand on the other. Bosses lock the door until they go down.

A classic gimmick-heavy platformer with a lot of jumping, plus four diamonds hidden in the lobby, each lit by meeting a different condition. Out now on Steam for Windows and macOS.

Key features

  • Play as the virus: attack the white cells and get to the door.
  • Auto-shooting — stand near an enemy and you fire on your own, but never while moving.
  • Grab a heart to copy yourself; every copy mirrors your moves from its own position.
  • Use the copies to double your fire or flip a switch across the room.
  • A classic platformer full of gimmicks, with bosses that block the door until they drop.
  • Four diamonds hidden in the lobby, each lit by a different condition.
