About Virush

Fast-paced arcade-style game where you are a snake-like defender program and the last line of defense against invading computer viruses!

Navigate! Use the Vive controller to quickly move all around the spherical field of play.

Race! Collect data packets by either running over them or encircling them with your tail. Snatch them up before time expires and packets become red and infected.

Capture! Get as many flying packets as you can for bonus points if you capture all packets before the wave timer expires.

Collect! The more packets you collect, the more bombs you get to use.

Destroy! Use bombs to destroy enemy viruses and infected packets near you.

Challenges! Compete on the leaderboard in over 10 unique game modes.

[u]I played this game on the Oculus Rift with Touch controllers without any problems [/u]. The game seems very simple from the video gamplay on the store page. And the tutorial explains the very basics so you'll know what to do at the start. But once the bosses come into play, the game does not hold your hands. Gameplay soons becomes very frantic and somtimes confusing. The game will use the 360 space around you. But I found that if you only focus on what's happening 180 degrees in front of you, you'll mostly be fine. The game music is good. The graphics are simple, yet well done. Enemies look unique from other VR games. In fact, the gameplay itself is pretty unique. I don't think I have ever played anything like it. At the sale price of $2.99 it's an easy recommend. Spherical gameplay with unique gameplay to it. Rating 7/10

5.5 out of 10 My opinion is quite opposite to the other reviews. Granted it's something different for VR which is commendable and it's a slick well presented title. But in the clear light of day it's a pretty basic game that's not that exciting. A 10 minute stint is enough with little to keep you coming back often.

Virush is simple yet entertaining game that’s easy to pick up. The graphics are simple yet stand out well, and the controls are dead simple. The core gameplay is nice, easy to get into and makes good use of the entire space around you. The game could use a bit more polish, but for the price it’s available for, you can’t really complain.

If you liked Xortex but thought that there was too much shooting, this is the game for you. It didn't manage to hold my interest, especially since you have to start from the beginning every time you die and you die every time you touch something. Even Dark Souls is more forgiving...

A great little arcade game where your move your cursor around a 360 degree dome collecting things that turn into mines if you don't collect them fast enough and fighting mini bosses by moving your cursor in a particular way around them. It's very simple but suprisingly fun. You have to balance fighting the miniboss against collecting the things. The only thing that I think could possibly need balanced is to collect bombs slower and maybe give the player an extra life after so many points. I'm not sure though. There are also a dozen shorter challenge modes which change up the rules up in fun ways, and since the VR community is so small I was able to place pretty high on a few of them. A very underrated unknown little VR arcadey game.
