We finally released I Love Virus yesterday, officially launching with at version 1.0.1. Why 1.0.1 and not 1.0?
We built and submitted 1.0 to the AppStore and it got approved. After we submitted it though, we got some more feedback that the input was a bit too strict. People would try to turn when virus was at an intersection instead of before it not realizing Virus is smart and remembers which direction you tell him to go. The end result was testers would get to an intersection, attempt to turn, and virus would keep on trucking… not the best experience.
Thus we decided to make Virus to be a bit more …forgiving…and have him turn further in an intersection than he normally would. However, if you do it more than 5 times per life or level (whichever comes first) a subtle hit comes up that suggests a different way to play. I think this has improved the gameplay quite a bit, especially for those that are new to the game.
If you have no clue what I’m talking about, go on the AppStore and purchase I Love Virus today!
