Infectors

Infectors is a territory-control game by satanas. A strain spreads across a field of connected nodes; every node you convert then infects its neighbours over time, so the board is a race between two expanding fronts.

Cutting the opponent's connections matters more than raw speed, since a strand that is fully surrounded stops converting no matter how large it is. It supports one or two players on the same keyboard, and the version here runs at 640x480 with a full control set including a menu, restart, mute and quit hotkey. Licensed CC BY-NC-SA.

How to Play

1. Move with the arrow keys.
2. Convert nodes to your strain.
3. Cut the opponent's connections before they rebuild them.
4. Take the whole field, or outlast your opponent.

Controls

• Arrow keys - move
• Enter - confirm / start
• Escape - menu
• R - restart
• M - mute
• Q - quit

Tips

Work along the edges of the opponent's region rather than through the middle. A one-node-wide gap between their clusters keeps both fronts stalled, which is often a faster route to a win than racing them head-on.
