Like we did on the other page, we've placed four common elements on this page to help get you started. The Logo element at the top and the Site Navigation Menu element on the left are 'global' elements, so any changes you make to them will show up on every page where you’ve placed one of those elements.
Most recent first:
"It was one of those things where dicking over your friend while he’s trying to solve a puzzle is kind of funny. It’s a lot like how you’ll play a first-person shooter game cooperatively and the first thing you do is just shoot at each other (laughs)."
- Interview by James Deputy, Quotes from Tim Keenan, November 2011
"The story about how we got started is a long one with less explosions and car chases than I'd like. So let's just say I was working at DreamWorks Animation and a friend told me about XNA..."
" I don’t know if my wife would’ve tried to get a threesome going in Fable 2 had it not been an achievement."
- Interview by PunkyLiar, Quotes from Tim Keenan, October 2011
"Even in this Alpha phase, A Virus Named Tom boasts tight, responsive, and downright difficult gameplay."
" The splash screens positively radiate character, and display a very "retro-tech" style that compliments the dystopian humor found in the story's premise."
"...the ability to call in reinforcements in the form of other players can help to dampen the difficulty; in fact, it seems that the game's difficulty is balanced for at least two Toms."
- Dylan Coffey, September 2011
"...both the co-op and versus elements look like a ton of fun." -Michael Rose, August 2011
"The developers, Misfits Attic, have a strong background in animation and design and it’s evident."
"The co-op in particular isn’t something you often see in games of this type and the possibility of sabotaging friends’ efforts seems very real. That potential alone gives me hope." - Adam Smith, August 2011
Rated a 9.1 out of 10
User Comments:
"tried and tested gameplay concept combined with a humorous setting and fun presentation: Could be great."
"Indie developers have been making great games this last few years. Limbo and Braid come to mind as examples. And this one looks good too. "
"Impressive! it's such creative(fun) games like these that make us move forward. :) "
- August 2011
"A Virus Named TOM has a quirky and dark sense of style..." - Jeremiah Hisel, August 2011
"I've learned that making a baby is easier than making a game, but isn't necessarily a good idea in the middle of production. Especially when the mother is the Art Director, and the father is me."
- Quote from Tim Keenan in the Interview
"... I was whisked away to a web site for a game I hadn’t heard about, and immediately fell in love with what I saw. A Virus Named Tom looks like a very inventive mix of pipe dream and chu chu rocket, but with a delightfully destructive twist." - Ben Jones, August 2011
"While the game may be a ways off, plenty is known about it and there’s even a gameplay trailer brimming with personality (and viruses)." - Todd Schlickbernd, August 2011
" Misfits Attic released this trailer for their action puzzler game called A Virus Named Tom..." - Harry Balls, July 2011
