Hey everyone,It’s been 2 days since launch, and the support for DO NOT FEED THE VIRUS has honestly been amazing. Thank you to everyone playing, streaming, sharing clips, reporting bugs, and leaving reviews.We’ve also seen the feedback about the game length and amount of content. Well, we hear you, and we’re already working on it.We’re now preparing a big update focused on replayability.The first bonus game mode: ASCENSION.This mode will add randomized upgrade choices, and more content overall. Instead of the skill tree, you will have to choose your upgrades wisely to finish this mode. It will emphasize the tower defense aspect of the game, but I will not spoil the rest.Oh, and there will be multiple difficulties.Here’s a small prototype preview:We want to support the game actively so that you can replay it past the main campaign.If you’re enjoying the game, leaving a positive review helps us a lot and really supports future updates.Thanks again for the huge support these past 2 days.Antoine & Luc

After months of development, balancing, polishing, and bug fixing… here it is!!What the game contains:5 unique stages (demo was the first one)165+ upgradesAllied units to develop your colonyNew mechanics every stage23 Steam achievementsOur goal with DO NOT FEED THE VIRUS was to create a short incremental game that respects your time. We wanted progression to feel fast, satisfying, and constantly rewarding, without unnecessary grinding or filler. A lot of care also went into making upgrades feel meaningful and keeping the experience as polished and smooth as possible from beginning to end.We also released a Supporter Pack if you want to support the game further. It includes exclusive cursor skins and a special in-game badge as a small thank you for helping us. Nothing that will help you feed the virus tho.Buying the Supporter Pack will also directly help fund an extremely important part of development: cat (& dog) food for our studio supervisors.If you enjoy the game, leaving a Steam review really helps us more than you might think. As a small indie team, reaching our first 50 reviews would make a huge difference for visibility and help more people discover the game.Thank you to everyone who wishlisted, played the demo, or simply followed the project along the way ❤️Antoine & Luc
