Game Summary:

In SurVirus, you play as a cunning bacteria that has just infiltrated the human body. But survival won’t be easy—the immune system has detected your presence and is sending relentless waves of white blood cells to eliminate you! Dodge, evolve, and outmaneuver the body's natural defenses as you fight to spread and thrive. Will you outsmart the immune system, or will you be wiped out? The battle for survival begins now!

How Does SurVirus Fit the Theme?

The human body is a battlefield, and every organism within it is a soldier in an ongoing microscopic war. The immune system acts as a powerful weapon, deploying white blood cells like elite soldiers to hunt and destroy any intruders. Meanwhile, as the bacteria, you are the invader, fighting to survive, adapt, and spread against overwhelming odds. Every encounter is a high-stakes battle, reinforcing the theme—where everything is a fight, and everywhere is a war.

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to? Nope, nothing specific—just enjoy the game!
