RnD - Choose a combination of 5 colors and wait for the results. On the left there is a bar showing green, if the color was right and red if it wasn't. Remember the order of your color choices. (Think mastermind - the board game).
Patient Zero - Press any patient it will show the number of that patient (0-37). If you click the same patient twice you will get a hint about in which direction the previous patient is.
Fight - Press and hold the release to shot an anti body at the Ebola virus (the virus is small and will blend in with the blood look carefully)
------------------- Loose the game: If the time runs out or if the Ebola virus has infected all four cells to 100%.
Win the game: - Kill two Ebola viruses (requires five hits/virus), - Solve at lease one RnD session -Find patient zero.
Lovely fluid effects, nice coherent style. Game mechanics could do with more information about what's going on. Patient zero is very random. I can't work out which/when/what I can score for in Fight.
It was very confusing to play. Just add explations in the LD description. I have no idea how the mastermind game is working and the shooter seems impossible.
Great idea to use a theme relevant to current world issues. I enjoyed what you were trying to do here. I like having three little games that are all variants of the theme. I liked that I actually started to understand the dynamics I had with the systems you created. I enjoyed finding patient zero and trying to trace the spread of infection before time runs out. It felt like an invisible dot to dot that carried the concept of what it's like to prevent the spread of disease. Same with discovering how to prevent cell infection and finding samples quick enough to promote cures. I'm guessing that this is what you were going for. The concepts and experiences illuminating what it is like to struggles to maintain public health were more clear to me than the gameplay and rules. Great visual design. Thank you for sharing.
Nice idea and theme also. But honestly I don't really understand how to play it. Sometime shoot works. Sometime no. Also even when I found the patient zero, that change nothing.

Overall I can't really figure out what I'm supposed to be doing. I think RnD is a Mastermind type puzzle, but that's it.
