About This Game

Your PC is infected. Barry is the cure.

Barry the Antivirus is a pixel-art arcade game where you are the weapon. There's no gun and no bullets — just one furious bear, a slingshot, and a screen full of viruses.

Aim. Pull. Launch.

Drag back to aim, then release to fling Barry across the screen, ricocheting off the walls to smash through as many viruses as you can in a single shot. Every launch is a little physics puzzle.

Know your threats

• Regular viruses drift in predictable lines.

• Spyware dodges erratically.

• Malware hunts you down.

• Worms multiply and drain your coins on contact.

• Botnets swarm together.

Upgrade, customize, survive

Defeated viruses drop coins you can spend to boost Barry's health, attack, defense, and speed, with each upgrade costing a little more than the last, and to unlock skins, wallpapers, and desktop themes for your in-game "operating system".

A desktop from another decade

The whole game lives on a lovingly fake '90s desktop, complete with a Start menu, taskbar and themes like Doors 96 and Doors XD.
