Games offer a great reprieve from the grinds of everyday life. They provide an opportunity to get into an entirely different world where the stakes aren't so high and mistakes can be made as you can always restart a game. There are a variety of games available that can help you pass the time but there are certainly a few games that can also prove somewhat educational as well. Virus games are a category that are usually entertaining and provide a clearly defined enemy that needs to be defeated. There are a few games that can prove educational too due to the design of their gameplay. Cheekio – Virus is supposedly a game that falls in this category and let's dig into the gameplay of the app to see if its really worth your time or not.

Cheekio – Virus is a well-designed game that has a beautiful introductory page that provides access to all the game's functions and offerings. You can see the Play button right in the middle of the screen. You can also go to the in-game shop to get items that can help your character's defending and attacking capabilities. A score button is present at the bottom right of the sreen that shows where you currently stand in the rankings. You can also turn down the in-game volume and enable or disable the background score through the homepage. Phone vibrate feature can also be enabled or disabled with vibrate feature used whenever you kill an enemy. There is also a joystick button that can be enabled or disabled to change in-game controls.

The virus game itself comes with four difficulty levels with the Easy difficulty level unlocked at the start. After you have accumulated enough in-game points, you can move on to the Medium, Hard and Insane difficulty levels. This is a wise move as the Easy difficulty level helps in getting the user acquainted with the game and the controls and the more difficult levels become slightly more easier to tackle with the gained experience.
The gameplay itself is very interesting. You are a virus killer present in the human body. You are provided details about viruses attacking different parts of the body. You then need to navigate to those areas and then kill the virus along with the smaller viruses growing because of the main virus. The character is equipped with a gun that starts firing whenever in close proximity to the virus. Getting in touch with the virus causes Cheekio harm and leads to a loss of life. If the virus stays at a certain location for too long, the health of the human body deteriorates and the game is lost.

There are a variety of tools available including shield and bombs that can help in the gameplay. This ensures that you can use the weapons tactically to overwhelm the viruses and get yourself out of a tricky position. The controls are simple and allow you control over the movement of Cheekio, the virus killer. The graphics are fine and engaging with the human body correctly designed to bring a sense of realism into the game. The background music is also engaging and keeps you invested in the game.
