Recently a deadly biological weapon has been invented by the dark forces. Agent 019 got in contact with you and is urgently asking you to eliminate the virus. You have a total of 24 days to beat all of the viruses before they all mutate and become deadly. Some of the viruses have already been mutating and each day their numbers are increasing. During your glorious war with the viruses, make sure not to touch the mutated ones. To make it easier for you, we have asked Agent 019 to simulate the mutated viruses in black format so that you know not to touch them. Each passing day, the mutated viruses will increase and the speed of the attack will also increase. Your job is to destroy each virus in each given day without touching the black viruses. Before starting the journey, make sure you prepare yourself mentally! It will be a long 24 day journey. Most of the agents we have chosen have made it up to week 2 but couldn't withstand any further. We believe that you can do it! Starvation, drought, and global warming are also on the rise due to the virus outbreak. Kill all of the viruses and show the world that you are the hero everybody needs! - Total amount of days/levels: 24 - Mutated viruses: Black colored ones (Don't touch them!) - Viruses to Kill: Yellow colored viruses (Simply click on them to pop them) - Objective: Finish the given virus amount each day in order to progress.
