Do Not Feed The Virus: NimbleGames’ Minimalist Incremental Game Captures Player Attention

February 24, 2026 – Indie game developer NimbleGames has launched a playable demo for its new title, Do Not Feed The Virus, as part of Steam Next Fest. The game, a minimalist incremental experience, challenges players to grow an organism by consuming biomass and expanding its colony.

Gameplay and Features

Do Not Feed The Virus is a run-based incremental game where players, using only a mouse, destroy clusters and collect biomass to fuel growth. As the organism expands, players can recruit smaller units to automate resource gathering, creating a satisfying progression loop. The game emphasizes clear visual feedback, steady scaling, and accessible mechanics, offering a momentum-based design without punishing gameplay elements [Steam Page].
