At first I was going for a top down "zombie shooter" style game when I read the theme of "one room", than I realized it'd probably be boring to do so I converted it into a "plague-defense" style of game.

Where it's still a top down game but you don't have to kill everything, instead you have to protect the diseases from being extinct else the one that's supposed to be eaten from it will dominate and destroy the world! Heh, sorry I got distracted, but its my first Compo attempt and i suck at art, that's why it has limited art.

If anybody got a better description of the genre or has seen any other game that you protect something from other stuff that tries to kill each-other, please post a comment, I honestly never seen anything like it so I wanna explore the idea further after the LD.

I've put up the source for the game on my site.

The instructions are on the main menu, but basically you move your mouse around to try and repel the diseases from your location, LMB/RMB are to kill any which are underneath your cursor.

EDIT 17/12/'16; Based on the feedback, I'll be doing a post-jam overhaul of the game with some additional features. At some point in the future it will be uploaded at my site on www.epichigh.xyz if anybody wants to follow through ;)
