Viral Reload - Classic
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This is the original version of Viral Reload. The game is currently being expanded into Viral Reload EX, which is coming to Steam and the Nintendo Switch in 2024 for $10
Viral Reload supports monitor's of every shape and size! You can play with a variety of borders to spruce up the edges of the screen, or focus with a black void. Only a few borders are pictured here, with more to come!
This game is a heavily upgraded version of Project Sanitize, a game I released mid 2020 and was never happy with. This new version has been ported to Godot and heavily reworked with more enemies, refined gameplay, and polish up the wazoo.

So I have a quick question, why does the game just randomly disconnect from my keyboard? Like, Ill be playing one moment, then the next I cant move! Its very frustrating. I played this game in the arcade and it worked perfectly fine! Now whenever I lose my entire screen flips upside down. Why is this happening???
Update: I fixed the issues. Turns out stupidly changing random settings will sorta kinda make the game unplayable...
Lmao, sorry to hear you fiddled with some weird settings. I would like to know which setting caused your keyboard to disconnect though, that sounds like a bug that should be fixed
Yeah, it was fixed when I reenabled Toggle fullscreen and exited fullscreen
How do u open the game after downloading it with linux
This game is great! Any chance of seeing a Raspberry Pi version in the future?
I have actually exported to the Raspberry Pi 3b+, but it ran at 1-2fps on the desktop I had installed. I might export the next version to raspi with a clear disclaimer that its untested though? There's no reason not to!
How does it run well when running from the command line?
Tbh I'm not sure how to do that, as I'm not super familiar with Raspi. Is there an optimal way to run games made for it? And if so do you have a tutorial / link you could send me?
Great game! I like the dash feature.
yo this game rocks. thanks again for havin me on board 🤘
Is there a trailer or gameplay footage?
I'm currently working on a trailer, but I do have some gameplay footage.
