THE CONCEPT..? 

Viral Survival is a rogue-lite reverse bullet hell game where players control a modular worm virus navigating a computer system. The goal is to infect procedurally generated computer chips, strategically balancing upgrades gained through corruption. Antivirus threats, including agents and deadly firewalls, escalate over time. Players must decide when to sacrifice parts of the worm for speed and attack advantages. The dynamic size mechanic adds depth, influencing bullet coverage and movement speed. Diverse maps, boss battles, create an immersive experience, while leaderboards and builds enhance replayability.

LORE..? 

Step into the virtual shoes of a cunning computer worm as you navigate the intricate circuits and pathways of the cyber world. But this is no ordinary tale of good versus evil – you are the anti-protagonist, facing off against the enigmatic Master-Chip.

Unlike typical chips that dutifully stick to their programmed tasks, Master-Chip is a digital maestro who revels in the thrill of his own creation. Far from a cold, calculating entity, he crafts the very essence of your existence with an artistic touch.

Picture this: you, the computer worm, were born from the lines of code meticulously woven by Master-Chip's deft hands. However, instead of serving a purpose, you find yourself thrust into a relentless game of survival. Master-Chip takes pleasure in the chaos he has unleashed, skillfully editing code on the fly to torment you, his unsuspecting creation.
