Virexian
A downloadable game for Windows and Android
This is a completely free full version of Virexian, a game originally released on the Apple App Store and Google Play in 2017, now playable on PC and Android.
Virexian is a twin-stick shooter with minor roguelike elements. Levels are procedurally generated and there is no endgame.
The game is presented as is and will not receive any further updates. The original release was a free download with a 12 stage demo mode called "Free Rogue", and players could access all other game modes through a one time $1.99 in-app purchase.
- The pay wall to unlock game modes other than Free Rogue has been removed.
- Achievements are disabled due to their reliance on communication with platform specific stores.

The in-game controls, including in the tutorial and settings page, are still presented as though the game is played on a touch screen.
PC controls are as follows:
Move: WASD
Shoot: LMB
Movement Ability: Space
Change Weapon: Scroll wheel
Pick up item: E
Pause: P
Menu interaction: Mouse + LMB
Virexian also supports and automatically detects gamepad input.

Ah yes. I remember downloading this on my original iPad Mini. Probably the first roguelite I've ever played.
I was thinking of getting my old iPad Mini to play this again, but I couldn't find its charging cable. I saw a listing on Wal-mart where I could get one for $5, but I wasn't sure it would be worth it for what would likely be a one-time revisiting of all the games I had on there, as a lot of them were generic freemiums.
This seems to be the only game from there that I really wanted to revisit and I didn't already have on other platforms.
This is just as good as I remembered. The gaps in my memory were honestly driving me crazy as I was thinking about it. Heck, I even discovered some new tech! Spam the "Switch weapons" button, preferably with weapons that normally have a low rate of fire, and you'll practically dual wield them and shred through everything!
Now I just have one question: Is there a way to toggle fullscreen? The window is strangely small, to the point where I had to decrease my screen's resolution from 2560x1600 to 800x600 to play the game comfortably.
Edit: Removed Bullet Hell Monday/Plants vs. Zombies tangent, removed a second mention of how many generic freemium games my old iPad Mini had, added discovery of new gameplay tech
Very nice game. Can you please update the Android icon? Thank You.
