Infected

Step into the world of digital warfare as an antivirus program tasked with defending a computer from malicious viruses. In this retro-style shooter, you’re inside the heart of the system, fighting against waves of progressively harder viruses. The faster and more efficiently you eliminate these threats, the more you earn to upgrade your defenses, weapons, and abilities.

Gameplay

Objective: Your mission is simple: shoot down viruses that invade the computer’s system. As you progress, waves of increasingly difficult viruses will test your skills. Defeat the viruses, earn currency, and spend it on upgrades to prepare for the next wave.

Key Features:

• Retro Visuals: Immerse yourself in a vibrant, pixelated world inside a computer. The visual style is inspired by classic 8-bit/16-bit games, with a nostalgic feel that enhances the action-packed experience.
• Wave-Based Combat: Battle through waves of viruses, each wave introducing more challenging enemies. Every wave you clear earns you money, which can be used to upgrade your antivirus system and gear up for the tougher upcoming challenges.
• 4 Virus Types: Face off against four distinct virus types, each with unique attack patterns and behavior:
  • Trojan (Heavy): Slow-moving viruses with large health, but a lot of damage resistance. They are tough to take down but don’t move quickly.
  • Spyware (Sneak): Fast-moving viruses that can dodge your shots and have low health. These require precision and quick reflexes to defeat.
  • Pincer (Trap): Medium health viruses that dodge incoming fire and explode into deadly spikes when destroyed, shooting spikes in four directions. Avoid getting hit by these spikes, or risk taking heavy damage.
  • Bombard (Explosion): These viruses have high health and explode on death, dealing massive area damage to anything nearby. Timing is crucial to avoid getting caught in their blast radius.
• 10 Upgrades: Unlock and choose from a variety of upgrades after each wave. With every upgrade, your abilities grow stronger, giving you an edge in the battle.
  • Double Attack
  • Mini Gun
  • Responsive
  • Rocket
  • Stonks
  • Profit
  • Warm Hearted
  • Strong as a Rock
  • One More
  • Bird Eye

Game Mechanics:

• Shooting and Combat: Use your antivirus gun to shoot down incoming viruses. Your weapon has a variety of fire modes, from rapid fire to charged shots. As you defeat enemies, you earn money that can be used to purchase upgrades at the end of each wave.
• Upgrading Between Waves: After each wave, you'll have a brief period to upgrade your abilities. Spend your earned money strategically to give yourself the best chance of surviving the next wave.
• Enemy Waves: Each wave is a challenge in itself. As the levels progress, the enemies become faster, stronger, and more numerous. Your success depends on how well you manage upgrades, positioning, and timing.

Soundtrack & Atmosphere:

The game features an energetic chiptune soundtrack that complements the retro aesthetic. The sounds of gunfire, explosions, and virus alerts immerse you even more in the digital world you're protecting. Every victory feels rewarding with dynamic audio cues signaling your success or failure.
