Viva La Virus

Description

In *Viva La Virus*, a Weekly Game Jam entry themed around "Life Is Short," you play as a virus racing to reunite with your lost companion in a digital world. Time is your most precious resource—every special ability you use brings you closer to your goal but shortens your lifespan. One player controls their character with the arrow keys and can trigger an explosion to break through firewalls by pressing Enter, while the second player uses WASD to move and Spacebar to dash past obstacles. Teamwork and timing are essential as you navigate a maze of barriers and countdowns. With minimalist visuals crafted by Maddie Damp (LaMysteryPersona) and programming by Josh Baker and Josh Powlison, *Viva La Virus* delivers a tense, cooperative experience where every second counts.
