Virus Killer

To conquer the viral onslaught in this game, you'll need to strategically use capsules of matching colors—red, yellow, and blue—to eradicate the viruses. As you play, you'll guide each falling capsule, shifting it left or right and rotating it to align perfectly with the viruses and any capsules already in the field. The key to success is creating a line of four or more capsule segments or viruses of the same color, either horizontally or vertically, which will then vanish from the board. Your ultimate goal? Clear all the viruses to complete each level. Be warned, though—a game over looms if capsules stack up to the point of blocking the bottle's narrow neck.

You have the power to set the challenge level right from the start of each new game, choosing a difficulty from zero to twenty. This choice directly affects the number of viruses you need to clear. Additionally, you can pick from three game speeds that dictate how quickly the capsules descend into the bottle. Remember, your score is calculated based on virus elimination alone—no points for speed or capsule efficiency. If you master the highest difficulty, you can keep playing to chase a higher score, though the virus count won't increase. Bonus points come your way when you take out multiple viruses in a single move, but chain reactions, where one clearance triggers another, won't boost your score further. Keep in mind, the game's speed setting also influences your scoring; faster speeds mean more points up for grabs.
