Viral Load

Just when you think you've found the perfect host, the immune system shows up to ruin everything.

T-Cell enemies fire antibodies that will damage you. Dodge these incoming attacks and position your autofires to eliminate the immune cells. Protect your nucleus—it's your hitbox.

Your DNA starts out unstable. Every 1–3 seconds, a random section of your DNA mutates, altering the modifiers currently in play. As you dismantle the host's defenses, you'll earn the ability to lock or unlock segments of your DNA, either halting or allowing further mutations. Defeat the Natural Killer Cell Boss at the end of each stage to gain a new mutation.

But even death isn't easy. When your shields drop to zero and you're overwhelmed by the immune system, your virus is exterminated. However, your autoshooters and a portion of your DNA will carry over to the next generation. The farther you get, the better equipped your next virus will be for the fight.

Unlock all mutations and fully stabilize your DNA to access the final stage and face the ultimate showdown!
