one Asian under a groove

Chris Sims on Skyrim: “I just don’t understand why they made the vastness of it the selling point when it a smaller, but deeper game would’ve been better.” Shallowness can be effective too. Viriax is a climbing game: you press up to make your germ jump, expending a little energy; it floats back down until you find a ledge to rest on. Meanwhile you have to dodge white blood cells and lasers and shit. The game has literal depth, in that the levels are linear and long (maybe infinite, or maybe I suck too much to get to the end); on the other hand, you only use the directional keys, a la Pac-Man. The power-up system is unbalanced and I don’t want to play this for long, but it’s a fun ten minutes every now and then. Would play it much more if I could find a mute button.
