Wipe Out the Virus! is a 2D shooter game created with Unity. Eliminate the incoming viruses by shooting sanitizer bullets and save yourself from getting infected! Click on the start screen to proceed. Point the crosshair with your mouse and use Left Click or Space button to shoot. If you get infected, press Y to go back to the jungle or press N to go to the start screen.
So far we have completed implementing a start screen, the game screen, and an end screen. The start screen and the game screen both have a background track. There are sound effects for the bullets and player death as well. Based on the feedback that we got from the alpha playtest, a lot of testers did not feel like there was a defined endpoint or a goal for the game. Hence we decided to add a counter at the bottom which updates with each virus killed.
Moving forward, we are planning to implement three levels that increase in difficulty. The player would start from the jungle, then move on to a place within the jungle closer to the city, and the final level would be inside the city. After the player passes each level, the next virus wave would be faster and much more difficult to pass. We are also planning to change the background art and sound for each level and plan to implement animations for the player and the death as well.
