Link of the Day

Infectonator

One shared element for all of our games this week is short levels coupled with a moderate-length game. Infectonator might be the best example of this.

The premise is simple: infect the world with zombies. In Infectonator, you accomplish this goal in two ways: clicking to spread a virus to nearby subjects, turning them into zombies who do zombie things (and sometimes turn the others into zombies) or deploying super-zombies. The levels are short—some of the early ones can be played in 15–20sec—but there's a lot of them and a decently challenging set of objectives for each level. It's a nice balance of fun, luck, and skill.

Side note: Infectonator is also available for mobile devices. From what I've heard, it works well on mobile as well.

Tomorrow, we'll wrap up with two more games and list the honorable mentions.
