I agree with WillYum and add that some collisions work in strange way. 
I would prefer meta-progress, that's not a roguelike game because of 
simple core mechanics, meta-progress can strongly motivate to grow up and get a new gaming experience.

I enjoyed this game soo much.

The controls feels weird but other than that I like the concept, audio and art.
I even like the extra touch of upgrade the virus.

Thank you! I'm really glad you like it! If you could change the controls, what would you have done? So that I know for future games. Thanks!

I would not change but adjust the aim logic,  the weird part that kind of felt annoying was when I take aim but the direction aim changes to mouse position.(This feels annoying when human is fast)
I think the aim direction should stay the same when click on mouse for first time and change the aim direction on mouse move.

This would make my shots feel more precise.

Wonderful game and excellent presentation. Great mechanic for the limitation. I wished I had thought of that mechanic in my own game now.

Fun idea and great implementation. Host crowding is a bit of an issue but on the other hand it gives you the chance to infect many hosts at once. I like it a lot.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I like to see crowding as them going to a cafe or restaurant together, but yeah the AI is not the best in this game...

Absolutly great game and knowing this was made me unity makes me happy (fuck unreal). Just an issue, maybe you should add a dead zone where if the virus collides with a host there, it get ignoored because I often find myself jumping to an allready infected host right beside me. Either way. Great game, you should turn this into an actual steam game, I would buy.

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I agree it can be frustrating getting out of a cluster. I'm really glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the awesome review!
