One player must cover another during the search, else you end up inadvertently killing someone for the sake of a few coins. You must also search items like boxes, shelves, and sleeping bags for supplies (these are noted on screen with yellow diamonds, as though they were sparkling), and those searches take time. Seeking out the most effective placement for each, particularly with weapon upgrades, is only the beginning. You have one melee character, and 3 characters with handguns. Like any good tower defense game, placement is key. You also have the option of alerting the military by radio a total of 3 times, should you become overwhelmed. Money is used to build turrets in certain spots, which increase your kill number and help to thin out the horde when times get tough. There are hot keys (1, 2, 3, and 4 for character selection, A to toggle fullscreen, and R to reload weapons), but for the most part, your selections are made on-screen by clicking characters and then goals. The over-simplified description of how you play this game is that you point and click. This comprises the tutorial portion of the game (if you choose to use it, which I would, as this is not a game typical of any one genre), introducing you to the concept of utilizing characters to search for supplies, defend against waves of zombies, and set up battle points in a series of obstacle courses. The car runs out of gas, and the survivors are then forced to push forward on foot. There are four main survivors that begin the game, traveling in a car toward a military holding point. Having been Greenlit on Steam in January, Infectonator is being officially released on Apas Early Access by Toge Productions. Survivors is much more complicated, with elements of real-time strategy, time/supply management, and tower defense – and this time, you’re defending the world, not infecting it. I thought perhaps Infectionator: Survivors was a simple variation on this theme, but then, it may still be a browser game if that was the case. It was a fun little game with the ultimate goal being to infect as many humans with a zombie virus as possible, while effectively destroying the world one country at a time. I’ve spent a number of late nights playing games on Armor and Kongregate, and was introduced to one of the first free Infectonator games by my sister.
