Levelhunter #1!

Hey guys! Welcome to the first ever post in Levelhunter's Flash Game Reviews:

Quick overview: In this blog, we'll be playing, thinking and writing reviews on browser-based games across the internet - you'll never get bored!

Note: every in-browser game review I post may not be only Flash games but may include other platforms such as Unity, WebGL, etc. - please be prepared to download them if you wish to play those games when they come up!

First in our lineup... clap it up for...

Infectonator: World Edition





This game always will be a classic; for those who don't know - it's INTENSELY fun.

The objective of the game, or course, it to dominate the world. You, a mad lab scientist, develops a zombie virus in the lab.

In the game screen shows up a town ranging anywhere from a dozen people to over a hundred people depending on what level you are. Your goal is to deploy the zombie virus anywhere in the crowd and help start the zombie virus spread as quickly as possible through the town to help reach your population death goal, which, upon reaching, will unlock new towns for you to infect.

Also, added bonuses for completely wiping out a town's population!

This game combines repetitive and identical sound effects, nostalgic pixel art and beeping retro music to create an old-school, pixellated SNES-style game. All aspects of the game come together and create one seamless and entertaining 2D top-down game.

The visual effect of the pixel art, however, was a tad uninspiring - more effort should have been used to convey unique landmarks worldwide during your zombie conquest; such a feature, I believe, would have boosted the effect of the game even further!

One reason this game makes you so addicted is the sheer satisfaction from zombie-fying a town with a hundred people; similar to the effect of rolling a snowball down a giant hill and watching it grow to a humongous size by the time it gets to the bottom.

Combined with little in-game features such as being able to watch a zombie Michael Jackson "Thriller" his way to zombie domination, or being able to watch zombie Colonel Sanders infect populations with his deadly rotting chickens, this beeping little retro game on the internet will be sure to attract some big attention from you!

Final Rating: 9.0/10 

P.S: Be careful when attacking Russia; every single person there has a gun!
