This is the story of a guy surviving a mumps outbreak. He knows one get mumps once in a lifetime. He also knows he must be healthy so he can save the love of his life.
Written in javascript using 2d canvas for the game render and some DOM for popups. We are a team of two devs participating for the first time in the ludum dare jam. Too many ideas and wishes were left out of this game due to time restrictions. We couldn't polish the controls and collisions as we wanted, so definitively we are doing so for future versions of the game outside the jam (as well as balancing the difficulty).
Did not really enjoyed the control. With some path finding, it could be better. You always get stuck against a corner or another guy. Also, he always turn round before really moving ahah.
Despite that, graphics and audio are really cool and the mood feel great too :)
Thanks for the feedback! we are going to polish the controls for the player movement, the collissions and the levels difficulty for a post-jam version.
Moody and creepy, I loved how the story unravelled gradually and built the tension - just a shame about those controls because I got stuck at one point and couldn't work out how to proceed. Great effort!
The mood, the graphics and the audio were quite nice. The controls were really really really annoying. It was ridiculously annoying to move that thing. You bumped onto nothing at all (hitboxes are probably too big, as they probably are as large as the graphics themselves) and stopped. It was totally frustrating to play this game. Also the type of writing broke the immersion the game could have had from the graphics, audio and the overall setting alone.

I just don't like too much the way used to move.

Besides that, I thought this was a pretty funny idea. Really fun game. Music is awesome too!

Good job though.
