Gameplay

Retrovirus is a 2D puzzle-platformer where you play a virus fighting its way to the cell's nucleus, mutating, dodging deadly obstacles and solving puzzles on the way.

My role: level and puzzle designer. Built in two weeks for the Rapid Prototyping course at the Centre for Entertainment Arts.

What I focused on

Play on itch.io (opens in a new tab)
