VACCINATOR

A retro-inspired top-down shooter.

The virus is spreading and only you can stop it! Manage your vaccine supply and wipe out the invaders! Can you survive and eventually achieve immunity?

The virus is multiplying and its variants are spreading – you are the last defence!

  • Easy, single-touch movement and firing (on desktop or touchscreen) 
  • Survive for seven days on easy, medium or hard game modes
  • Can you make it to the top of the high-score table?

This is a ‘companion’ game to the interactive fiction story: ‘The Den’ – currently available to play as part of IFComp 2024. YOU CAN PLAY IT HERE


"It was an old arcade game that went by the name of ‘Vaccinator’. He had a suspicion that it was considered old even when this computer was brand new. Still, it was the only game it had and they had both played it until they were bored of it.

Despite that, Aiden had never managed to beat the top score. Whoever had got that was either very good or had cheated. And what sort of name was ‘Alpha’ anyway? Were all of those names he saw on the high score table real? Did they live in their own den somewhere else? Were they even still alive?"
