You might have played games like Mad Virus before, but so what? We've fallen for Mad Virus in a big way, and we're determined that you're going to play it – even if it means coming round your house and smashing your crockery first.

When you start Mad Virus, you'll see a screen full of different-coloured shapes, and all you have to do is to turn the screen into one solid colour within a set number of turns. Doing this is easy – you change one shape's colour, and all the shapes of the same colour become infected. Keep doing this enough and your mad virus spreads across the screen like a… well, like a mad virus, we suppose. Mad Virus is incredibly addictive and we're looking forward to another illness-based game from the makers – like Mad Toothache maybe, or Mad Chlamydia.
