StopThePlague is a Simulation game made for the Ludum Dare 51 GameJam
Controls:
WASD/Arrows - move
1/2/3/4 - change syringes
F - Interact
Space - Dash
Enter - Skip wave
How To Play:
Every 10 Seconds (or less if you skip time) a wave of viruses will spawn and infect people, your job is to cure them by using the right syringe for the specific virus. You can refill your syringes at the syringe shops.
Try to get the highest score possible by keeping people uninfected, skipping time and spending as little as possible on the shops!
Not sure if this was an issue on my end only, but the HTML5 version of the game isnt sized properly so every now and then someone would get infected who was off of the screen.
If you have any problems with resolution i suggest trying it on itch on FullScreen, if it's still not right i am sorry! For the next time i will try to have it figured out as for now you can try downloading it
Cute art style and pretty fun gameplay. Would've been a bit more fun if you ramped up the difficulty a bit earlier, started a bit slow, but got really intense later on!
Well done, I love this game! Cute graphics, simple mechanics, easy at first but could be really challenging!
One point: Keys for all operations are close to each other, so I only use my left hand and often tap on wrong position when playing. Maybe you should adjust the key so that my right hand can also be used XD
Awesome game! Took me a while to realize I could switch between syringes with 1, 2, 3, 4 haha. But after that the game got really fun! It was pretty easy in the beginning but then it gets pretty crazy and it felt really fun! I got a score of 14.1k! Really cool game, well done!
I like a good plague game :) I had trouble realizing when the disease spreads and when it kills (I vaguely think that only the black plague kills but I'm not sure). At first it was boring but it was a good preparation for later, when you have different patients of different colors and you had to prioritize, which is the full horror of the situation. I liked how healthy people are "farming" as productive members of society. Maybe if a vaccine contained more shots (at least 3) it was easier to manage except for always returning to the loading dock. Good entry, keep it up!
Last thing both in LDJam site and itch browser version, the viewport was smaller than the actual game size. Moving to fullscreen solved that, but it still took me some time to realize that.
once i realised how to play it really became fun and challenging! i was not super fond of the chosen controls, but the overall dynamics of this game are really nice. the graphics are polished, sound effects are excellent!
At first I thought it wasn't working, but then I realized you could manually scroll down to get the full screen and everything worked great from there.
I found the game play a bit repetitive and hectic, but greatly enjoyed watching the colors spread around. Fun and innovative idea!
Not sure if this was an issue on my end only, but the HTML5 version of the game isnt sized properly so every now and then someone would get infected who was off of the screen.
Fun game, great work!
