Survival in a world under a microscope.

You are a tiny virus, just born into the ruthless ecosystem of a single drop of water. There is no mercy here: billions of microbes are engaged in a constant struggle for existence, and their main enemy is hunger. Your life is measured in seconds on a hunger scale. As soon as it drops to zero, you die forever.

To survive, you need to eat constantly.

Small colorful particles, similar to snowflakes, give you +1 second of life for each one—there are a lot of them, and if you play carefully, you won't go hungry.

Large green organisms are a real trophy: each one gives you +10 seconds at once.

At the bottom of the screen is a biological sensor: it scans everything around you and highlights it in

green — safe, you can eat it,

red — deadly threat.

The world is full of dangers:

— fast predators chase you and kill you at any touch;

— immobile giants stand still, but throw out a long sticky tongue and pull in prey from a long distance;

— neutral microbes do not hunt themselves, but colliding with them is also deadly.

Floating bubbles can be pushed. Sometimes they burst without harm, and sometimes they turn into traps: small prey gets stuck inside, and you can calmly eat them.

You have five powerful abilities that give you a temporary advantage:

Acceleration (key 1) — a lightning-fast dash that allows you to escape any pursuit. The main thing is not to crash into a large enemy at full speed.

Soundwave (key 2) — a powerful impulse that scares away all pursuers around you. Ideal when surrounded.

Brothers (key 3) — you summon four allied fighters. While they are nearby, you become just as strong and can eat anyone. Brothers are very voracious — you need to collect prey before they do.

Spikes (key 4) — you temporarily become the top of the food chain: all microbes flee in panic, and you hunt even former predators.

Dash (left mouse button, 3 charges) — an instant short burst in the selected direction. Each charge regenerates in 45 seconds.

Abilities 1–4 recharge in 1–2 minutes. Special bubbles with letters sometimes appear in the world — they instantly restore the selected ability.

The game keeps track of your points and survival time. The longer you last, the higher your score. With each new stage of evolution, you become larger, change your appearance, and gain new advantages.

After death, the achievements screen opens. If you score more than 1,000 points, your name will be added to the global leaderboard, which can be viewed in the main menu.

The controls are extremely simple: the character moves automatically, you just point the cursor in the direction you want to go.

The game has bright and rich graphics, but you can lower the quality or turn off the sound completely in the settings for maximum comfort.

Virus Brotherhood is a tense arcade game about the eternal struggle for life in a world that we can only see under a microscope. How many seconds can you snatch from this chaos?
