About Virality

Accidentally, Pep comes into contact with an extraterrestrial internet connection. This alien connection, called "Infernal_X" and coming from planet Hellx, is now free to destroy the entire planet Earth by infecting all the informatics systems. Pep have to stop this global infection by destroying all the 7 Virtual_Guardians arrived from Planet Hellx (with the help of an internet radiation, Inra) in order to access the Virtual World where the virus Infernal_X is located in order to eliminate it.

In this retro-2D platform adventure game, Pep keep his personal cellphone always working in order to detect where each Virtual_Guardian is located and go through difficult levels in order to reach the goal in each stage, sometime also by using a Virtual_Motorbike with alternative physics laws, and a Virtual_Gun to destroy each Virtual_Guardian during intense boss fights. The game is ispired at the old 2D platform games, both for the general graphics/mechanics and for the difficult that increase from easy to very hardcore.

Main features:
- 8 Worlds, each with a different environment
- Comics cutscenes
- A great variety of game styles in a single game
- Increase in difficult from easy to "old style hardcore"

✦ AI summary

Players consistently criticize Virality's twitchy, unresponsive keyboard controls that make platforming feel unfair rather than challenging, along with its unappealing retro-inspired graphics and overall low-effort presentation. The game's main positive is its entertaining story that provides actual narrative context, though this alone isn't enough to overcome the core gameplay frustrations that leave players more frustrated than engaged.

Garish, ugly and twitchy as hell. Obviously don't bother. https://youtu.be/nkQhfYNMxvo

Okay look, I have never made a review before, but don't buy this game. The controls are awful, the graphics are awful, this game is quite possibly the most low effort garbage on steam. Stay away.

Virality is a platformer going for that retro style in terms of looks and difficulty. I'm not entirely certain it hit it's mark, though. With the twitchy keyboard controls it makes it difficult to make more precise jumps, avoid enemies, and just not die. That makes it feel more unfair as opposed to just difficult. One of the more redeeming qualities of the game is the story. It may not be amazing but it's at least entertaining enough and gives some premise to the game, unlike so many other indie platformers I've tried. The game also runs relatively smooth, so there's that at least. As it stands, I can't recommend the game at the moment. Two dollars, while pretty cheap, is still a bit much for a platformer that will leave you more frustrated than anything. Me dying... a lot: https://youtu.be/i2ptvTZ55YQ
