Virus

Viruses are specialty tiles in Spell Rift. They first appear in the seventh level, Infection.

Appearance
Viruses are green, shiny, viscous tiles, presumably made out of a toxic, gelatinous substance. They are slightly translucent, with green organelles that resemble ribosomes. They appear to generate bubbles.

What they do
Viruses slide in from any direction, and snake a path around the board, infecting tiles with the letter it carries. Specialty tiles (excluding hearts) and previously infected tiles are not affected by the virus.

Trivia



 * In Abca, Spell Rift's predecessor, viruses appear less slick and gunkier.


 * Viruses, along with row killers and vacuums are the three threats to heart tiles.
 * In a word, viruses are worth 3 bonus points.
 * Like bonus tiles, viruses emit a glow.
 * Infectede.jpgted tiles appear hollow, and are covered in droplets of what appears to be contagion.
