Here, your goal is to help the virus to spread using its various "attacks" via sick persons. Each level simulates the behaviour of people during the different phases of the contagion.
Your allies are freedom and people concentations. Your worst foes are lockdowns and group immunity.
Will you prevail ?
(please do not be too harsh on places representations, my 2D editor is the unicode table :) )
The graphics are what they are, but I'm sure you know this. But what struck me about this game was the humour and if there was an educational mark I'd give you that, this is an incredible visual aid for lockdown and I think if it was fleshed out a tiny bit with just those three levels I think its a game that could actually do some good in the world. The controls were a little tough, clicking on the smiley faces was very tight and spreading the disease was tough but I think it fits the vibe. Really good job, a hidden jem I think for the humour.
This game is a little too real! The lockdown level is really hard. Also it took me a while to get past the first level because my one infected person never came into contact with anyone else.
Despite the quality of the graphics, I appreciated the originality of the game. With renewed graphics and more features it could be a nice smartphone game, good job!
Good idea and good use of the theme (i can't say something else as the current epidemic also inspired my game :slight_smile: ). I find it a litle too difficult and it might be simplier if we could chose the action without having to click on the radiobutton to choose it. Bonus point for having done it in plain JS. Congrats!
haha, I also did a virus simulation game, but from the other perspective (stop it from spreading) https://fishpondstudio.com/ld46/
At first I thought it was like Plague Inc, but then I realize that I have to click to spread the virus, which makes it quite action-centric. In general, for simulation game, I'd like to be able to make more macro/strategic decisions (maybe it's just me)
This is an interesting way of approaching the jam, by using a negative mechanic. You're telling people to do something that they don't want, and are using that as a platform. Reminds me a little of Nicky Case's games :)
This is brilliant! The concept is fun and innovative too. It was a little bit hard to understand what to do at first, but when I got, I had a really good time. Keep it up !
Haha, I had a similar idea when I decided to switch theme. I ended up going for something non-corona related because of the many haters during the theme voting period. I am glad someone made this game though.
Maybe rules were not clear explained.
Anyway hope you are doing well. Well done.
