Stop the Virus

Stop the Virus is a single-player puzzle game. The objective of the game is to clear a rectangular board containing hidden "viruses" without contacting any of them, with help from clues about the number of neighbouring viruses in each field.

In Stop the Virus, viruses are scattered throughout a board, which is divided into cells. Cells have three states: uncovered, covered and flagged. A covered cell is blank and touchable, while an uncovered cell is exposed. Flagged cells are those marked by the player to indicate a potential virus location.

A player touch a cell to uncover it. If a player uncovers a contaminated cell, the game ends, as there is only 1 life per game. Otherwise, the uncovered cell displays either a number, indicating the number of viruses diagonally and/or adjacent to it, or a blank tile, and all adjacent non-contaminated cells will automatically be uncovered. Toching long on a cell will flag it, causing a flag to appear on it. Flagged cells are still considered covered, and a player can touch long on them to uncover them again.

The first touch in any game will never be virus.

To win the game, players must uncover all non-contaminated cells, at which point, the timer is stopped. Flagging all the contaminated cells is not required.
