Remember kids, you can't spell frustration without fun. This game is weird. It's too simple as a puzzle game and relatively simple as a dodger/destroy the bugs game. But when you combine them both you get a game that just puts the FU in fun. I think I would have preferred this with more puzzle elements / limited moves, rather than combination of sustaining energy, dodging bugs, connecting pipes and also playing a game of memory at the same time.
I first got this game in 2012. It was kinda fun pipe puzzle game with arcade action mechanics. As it goes on it got a lot harder and I just couldn't beat it. I assumed it was because I was a dumb kid, and kinda forgot about it. It's been 11 years, I've tried twice more to beat it, and just can't. The difficulty feels entirely artificial and the mechanics clash with eachother.

A cyber-thief system hack simulator , TOM is reminisce of a ingenious virus that can bypass the most secure infrastructures. Enough said, this game throws you into a world of around 60 puzzles distributed across 6 chapters with the intent of spreading TOM named malware and continue infecting every level. The real-world security crypto techniques are used as reference such as firewall, encryption, drone, man in middle, glitch. More than just your sharp acumen for puzzles, you need to be quick with keys and Real-Time-Events. A lot of puzzles get increasingly difficult when lot of advanced virus trackers tries to intersect at a flank speed making it harder for you to proceed even by cell and configure the arrangement to spread your malware. After all, this game is trying to prove your mettle for hacking. Ever wanted to let that bad samaritan out and anonymously feel how it is like being a top-notch cyber thief, the TOM virus invention by Dr. X, is your safe haven. Get your hoodie on and use the virus to create mayhem.
I had long forgotten this game, and restarting it on my Deck made it clear why. This reflex puzzler has its fans, but I am not one of them. Its priorities do not align with mine.
A Virus Named Tom (2012) Puzzle game with some enemies around to ruin your day with a time limit that drains out to almost 0 if you die, like you can save the puzzle with 4 seconds left on the clock. The idea is the same across all the puzzles. Graphics is nice and simple. Personally don't like the gameplay, because of that I will not be finishing the game. You cannot change the controls, a very weird decision for a game. Maybe you will enjoy this, I didn't particularly enjoy this. 5/10
Un puzzlegame abbastanza ripetitivo il cui scopo è quello di collegare dei nodi all'interno di una piastra, creando dei percorsi per l'elettricità nei panni del piccolo virus Tom, evitando al contempo le minacce che girano libere sulla griglia. Una formula vista e stravista, qui espressa in modo "carino" ma nulla di più: certamente molto più consigliato in portabilità che da postazione fissa. Cheers...a Tom.

Сюжет: Ты — вирус по имени Том. Тебя уволили. Теперь ты мстишь корпорации, заражая их тостеры, кофеварки и охранные системы. Потому что лучший способ отомстить капитализму — это сломать посудомойку. Геймплей: Ты думаешь, это милая головоломка про трубы? Ха-ха. «Pipe Mania» на максималках и с озлобленным вирусом в главной роли. 4/10
WASD and arrow keys are mandatory with no ability to rebind anything. I absolutely hate this game. :(
É um jogo em que a mecânica central é o puzzle mas com o diferencial de ter que pensar e reagir rápido aos estágios do jogo. Só aí, um ponto para a originalidade. Outros pontos positivos são a arte muito charmosa e o tom sarcástico do jogo, onde basicamente a trama é "Cientista louco x Corporação maligna". As cutscenes são super divertidas. Trilha sonora bem legal, em alguns momentos me lembrou até umas clássicas do Toe Jam & Earl. Pontos negativos é que com toda originalidade pode caminhar frustração. Em algumas fases fica bem difícil de conseguir completar rapidamente o puzzle, como é exigido. Se vc se importar com ganhar ouro em todas as fases, prepare-se para se estressar. Eu rapidamente me conformei com as pratas. Outra coisa chatíssima são as fases em que os blocos ficam escondidos. Ponto mais baixo do jogo sem dúvida, porque vc precisa ficar memorizando os blocos e demora até poder mostrá-los de novo. O fator atenuante é que se tua ideia for só completar a história, dá pra pular as fases mais chatas e continuar normalmente. Pela originalidade e pelo charme, deixo como recomendado.
