Very nice and fun game. Runs and controls great in the browser and the breathing sound makes a really tense atmosphere. Great job!

Cool game, the audio is awsome, hearing the breath is cool and a bit creepy, the game is very fun.

Great entry!

Are those corona virus? I'm a big fan of Bloodborne. Your game's dark element is like Bloodborne's.  It reminds me of the cruelty in reality. I guess it's probably the Audio if you know what I mean lol.

Also, I wanted to add a complex immune system in my game and your game just did that. Good job!

Nice game :) The only thing that kinda bothers me is when the leukocyte is on one side of the screen and the viruses are on the opposite side, it takes way too long to reach them... But I don't know if it's a bad thing or if it's just me 😅. The breathing sound was a really nice touch (I wish there were also some coughs when it starts getting hit with the viruses)

Off-topic 1: I just remembered I made a game with the same name when I was a kid (mine was like a pacman where you could push the walls)

Off-topic 2: Fun fact, someone made a NES game a while ago that had the same concept of a leukocyte protecting lungs from coronaviruses: https://romekrjm.itch.io/immunatio

Thanks for the comments, yes I was thinking to add a 'reset' feature when you respawn in the center but I ran out of time. My initial idea was to make a 'bugged' version of PacMan when you chase the ghosts but it ended like that;) .

Thanks for the link, the NES game look fun with much more features/levels than mine. I might give it a try if I setup a NES emulator.

Really solid core gameplay loop - I think this is a -really- solid base where you could extend the game easily with more features (differing level layouts, powerups, multiple enemy types). Great work.

I scored 1630.

Nice concept! I would love to see the introduction of different kind of ennemies, maybe a multiplayer mode and maybe some custom power ups?

A good arcade game. It would be interesting to see some different types of enemies/mechanics thrown into the mix.

Thanks for playing my game. The game increase the virus spam rate each time your score reach a multiple of 100. The more you score the more its difficult to keep the virus away:)
