Virome is the new colour-matching game from Centrifuge<\/a> – the makers of the hit drawing and describing game: Interference <\/a><\/p>\n

It came about from a quick game we made for a game jam – where the theme was Small World. See previous posts for more on that.<\/p>\n

After the great feedback we got from other game developers during the game jam, Ludum Dare,\u00a0we decided to expand the game and put it out into all the app stores.<\/p>\n

It had been called Superbugs, during the game jam,\u00a0but once we decided to put the game out we discovered that there is already a game with that name. So, after consultation with an actual scientist (Berni’s brother at York University) we chose the name VIROME<\/a>. It refers to the viruses that live in the human body – so it seemed appropriate. Plus – there was definitely no other game with that name!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nathan expanded the original concept to include 28 increasingly difficult levels. Complete those and you unlock the Daily Viromes – a new Virome to defeat each day. This mode is ideal for competition among friends and family as you\u00a0all see the same puzzle\u00a0on each\u00a0day.<\/p>\n

There is also a Random Virome – which gives you a\u00a0unique puzzle each time you click it. So, you’ll never run out of puzzles to try. As we say – a scientist’s work is never done!<\/p>\n

\"\"It is now available in the app stores for Windows, Android, iOS and Amazon Kindle – check the website for links: viromegame.com<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are MANY colour-matching games out there – usually match three or more of the same colour to clear a grid.\u00a0Virome\u00a0is a different\u00a0take on colour-matching that involves matching the colours to the viruses – which will involve some colour combining as well as making sure that no cell gets overdosed! It\u00a0will have you addicted in no time.\u00a0Download it now before it goes viral!<\/p>\n
