Gameplay
Your physics are similar to a marble in that you'll roll in order to travel. You'll use your momentum to go up inclines and control your momentum when going down inclines. The controls of the game are very easy to learn but the levels are what make it fun and challenging!
How to Win
Each level contains a set number of red blood cells which you will collect. In order to advance to the next level you must collect all of the red blood cells on a given level. Your HUD shows a counter which tells how many blood cells you have left to collect.
Don't Die!
There are two ways to die in this game, either by falling off a platform or getting hit by a virus. If you die on a level you will restart that specific level. There are no checkpoints within a level, which provides a fun challenge and more satisfaction when you win!
Challenging and Fun
Every level is different and the farther you progress the more unique the levels become. While the mechanics stay the same throughout the game, each level provides different trials that you'll have to learn in order to progress.

Starts at 6:23. Pretty fun game.
Thanks for playing The Virus demo! The full game is now available on Steam. Check it out if you're interested. The gameplay is much smoother than the demo version.
The game is very interesting and, why not say, even educational. The stages are very challenging, and it's very easy to die here if you don't have good leukocyte control. Everything in the right measure. Congratulations.
Thank you so much for trying out my game! I watched your gameplay and you did an awesome job getting through the levels and had great control over the character. Thank you for sharing .
