Viriax

Viriax is a classic arcade game where your objective is to advance as much as possible eliminating infectious cells through a series of levels that represent different sections of the human body.

You will begin by purifying the heart, then the lungs and the intestines, but as you go along improving your score you will be able to unlock more and more phases for a total of twelve sickly levels that will certainly drive you out of your mind.

And in spite of the fact that the mechanics of the game are very fun and frankly intuitive, the most significant element of Viriax is its enormous level of difficulty. The reason being that in order to move you have to use energy (the life bar), and for that reason you have to be very careful when deciding when it's worth attacking an enemy and when it is smarter to keep going forward. Of course none of this matters if one of the bosses destroys you in a couple of seconds... which is also possible.

The unique visuals of the game continue in the line of Locomalito, with a charming pixelated style that will thrill thos who started playing videogames in the 80s and 90s. However, the graphics are nothing when you are hearing such an awesome soundtrack as the one that Gryzor87 proposes, the usual composer for Locomalito works.

Viriax is an excellent title that, even if it is excessively difficult, manages to harness an atrocity thanks to it's addictive mechanics.
