Infection
Neon city tag .io game: dodge the infected through night-time streets for two minutes, and if you get touched, turn and hunt down every last human bot.
Infection is a fast city tag game in the .io style, played on a neon-lit night grid of blocks, alleys, parks and barricades. Fifteen to twenty-five runners start scattered across town, and one of them is patient zero. Every infected runner who touches a human turns them, so the green wave grows by the second while the survivors scatter through side streets.
As a human you score for every second you stay clean and for grabbing lightning-bolt speed boosts, and lasting the full two minutes pays a big survivor bonus. Get caught and the game flips: you become a hunter, arrows point you toward the nearest human, and each runner you infect is worth 150 points. Sometimes you start as patient zero yourself. The bots read the street layout, flee toward open junctions, avoid dead ends and chase by the shortest route, and a live top-10 leaderboard tracks everyone's points. Surviving a round, or wiping out every human as the infected, raises your outbreak level. Higher levels bring more runners, faster infected and, from level five, two patient zeros.
It suits anyone who enjoys tense chase games and quick rounds. Tip: avoid alleys with a single exit, keep a boost in reserve for emergencies, and when you turn, cut corners instead of following humans straight down the road.
How to play
Run with WASD, the arrow keys or by holding the mouse button toward where you want to go. As a human, avoid every infected runner until the two-minute timer ends; you score 10 points per second survived, 25 per speed boost and 500 for surviving. If you get touched you turn infected: chase humans down for 150 points each and a bonus if nobody is left. Win a round to raise the outbreak level.
