To save your data and bring operation back to normal, you must use the mouse cursor to hunt down the digital infection. If you fail, the system will shut down and all is lost. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Game Concept A virus has been detected and you need to eradicate it as quickly as possible in this retro-style arcade experience. Your best friend, Cursor, will help pursue and destroy every software contaminant. Just tap and hold to ‘fly’ the arrow-shaped navigation upwards and release to move downward on the screen. Removing multiple bug-type components very quickly, i.e., a combo, causes Cursor to become bigger and bigger. Achieve Super Cursor status to wipe out all of the pestilent and corrupted items super fast. ------------------------------------------------------------------- What Makes it Fun? The simple, classic arcade shooter gameplay is applied to a uniquely fun theme, the erasure of a viral intrusion on a personal computer using the mouse cursor in a fighter jet fashion. ------------------------------------------------------------------- For Gamers That Enjoy action-packed engagements, including explosions Prefer a single, straightforward objective and score-based competition Want an activity suitable for satisfying short and long periods ------------------------------------------------------------------- Optimized for iPhone 6S and Apple TV Minimum Requirement: iPhone 4S and above Information Seller:Cogoo Inc.

Billy LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,286 1 38 #3 LordShad0wz, Jan 18, 2016 Last edited: Jan 18, 2016 Wow! What a fun game! Thank you Sash-o for posting this. This is exactly why I come to this place. I would never have seen this game. Right off the top there are NO forced ads NOR any timers. There are only OPT-IN ads to double the currency at the end of a play session. The devs are not being aggressive at all and for that reason alone I watched a bunch of ads. With that out of the way you control a mouse cursor inside of a Windows 95 type era computer screen where you hunt different viruses and an endless runner type of environment. The controls are one touch and when you tap and hold the screen the cursor goes up and will go in a circle up and when you release the cursor will go down. The enemy virus you chase will attempt to eat up the error data that is on the screen. If you accidentally hit the data it damages your cursor and slows you down significantly. To take out the enemy virus you have to crash into it. Once you hit it it dies an you gain coins which are then used to purchase more cursors. Overall the game is really well done. It's very fun. The art style is absolutely fantastic and it has that one more time feel to it. You unlock other cursors via a method like Crossy Road. You need 1000 coins and then hit the prize machine.

Way more quirky orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 1,997 145 63 #9 orangecan, Jan 20, 2016 Not normally my type of game at all but I'm really enjoying the art style and it plays really well FledgeFish Active Member Dec 20, 2012 44 0 0 #10 FledgeFish, Jan 20, 2016 The game is super fun but it's not fitting the screen properly on my iPad pro. It may be zoomed in to tight or something? I can only see the very end of the cursor. treeplanter Well-Known Member Nov 20, 2012 117 9 18 Indie Game Dev Seoul, Korea #11 treeplanter, Jan 21, 2016 This was exactly what were aiming for. Happy to see people remember the 90s. [TOUCHARCADE NEWS] 'Cursor: The Virus Hunter' Is Like a Gameified Version of How the Innards of Computers Are Portrayed in 90's Movies. Remember the golden age of the 90's, when computers and this mysterious thing called "The Internet" was starting to regularly appear as plot points in movies and TV shows? The concept of your computer doing anything more than playing solitaire or running a word processor was pretty foreign for most people, which lead filmmakers and TV producers to come up with countless totally ridiculous scenes to attempt to illustrate what was happening inside the computer. http://toucharcade.com/2016/01/20/cursor-the-virus-hunter-is-like-a-gameified-90s-computer/ mwryu Well-Known Member Aug 2, 2012 175 3 18 Game Concept Developer Seoul #12 mwryu, Jan 21, 2016 This game is a gem. I like how the screen glitches in the background. You can tell special attention was put into the details. My current favorite cursor is the cat's paw. Oh, and just recently found out that you may want to read the details on the cursors. treeplanter Well-Known Member Nov 20, 2012 117 9 18 Indie Game Dev Seoul, Korea #13 treeplanter, Jan 21, 2016 Great Point. Great Point. Hm.....Allow me to think about this and how to resolve this without changing the balance of the game.

Everyone please don't download Cursor the Virus Hunter on Amazon on the following link as it is not us. http://www.amazon.com/Game-World-Cursor-Virus-Hunter/dp/B01ATEHDG0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454036052&sr=8-1&keywords=cursor+the+virus+hunter - Cogoo Team - LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,286 1 38 #16 LordShad0wz, Jan 29, 2016 Get out of here they took your apk and are selling it? That takes some balls. Did you contact Amazon? What did Amazon say? That's just crazy! Billy Sash-O Well-Known Member Feb 13, 2015 1,570 0 0 Germany #17 Sash-O, Jan 29, 2016 Yeah, That's some heavy stuff man, unbelievable! treeplanter Well-Known Member Nov 20, 2012 117 9 18 Indie Game Dev Seoul, Korea #18 treeplanter, Feb 1, 2016 What an experience. We contacted Amazon and filed a report that they are infringing our property. I think it took about 2~3 days for Amazon to take it down. The game is free. So they uploaded the APK as a paid game($0.99). I've also requested that they ban the account and not just take the game down since other devs could face same issues. We were really lucky to have found it on Amazon store really fast, or else.... LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,286 1 38 #19 LordShad0wz, Feb 10, 2016 Last edited: Feb 10, 2016 I have the update! I've decided to repackage the game and sell it myself on the AppStore as Virus Slayer: revenge of the byte. It will be free with ads. I changed very little to it. I basically just re uploaded it. Lol Just kidding. I like all the new additions. I really do like this game. The entire presentation kicks ass and once I sit down and start playing I will look up and realize I've been playing for 45 minutes. The game sucks you in. It's a good thing. Would you guys consider adding a $ doubler in app purchase? I'd love to contribute a little bit financially. I'm very glad you got the Amazon issues taken care of. That was complete Crap that it happened. I also feel bad for the people who bought the game. At least now you can release properly. Just make sure you put a paragraph in the description saying what happened. Maybe you will gain those customers. Anyways keep up the great work and consider adding that IAP. I want to give you money! Billy LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,286 1 38 #20 LordShad0wz, Sep 24, 2016 So will we ever see any updates to this awesome game? I still have it installed and play it. I still would like an IAP so Incan give you guys some money. Such an awesome game! I can't recommend this one enough! Billy (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
