game seems very fun and interesting! but it was way too difficult for me. i recommend adding checkpoints to some parts of the levels and change the objective to “Infect the final person” instead of “Infect # persons”, as some cool shortcuts can be made in levels but the game impedes you from using them as you skip a few people to infect.
Thanks for playing and the feedback, glad you've enjoyed. As for the difficulty, I'll review the idea about changing the objective.
This is a great submission! Fun gameplay loop and interesting premise. Although, for the first levels, the difficulty seems to be on the high side
Thanks for trying it, glad you found the gameplay loop fun, the difficulty increase could definitely be improved and I'll look into it.
Hey !
I love this game bro , great idea! keep up...
I will be also happy if you rate my game : /jam/stop-killing-games-game-jam/rate/3724252
Fun game, but it was wayyy too difficult for me, but that is purely a skill issue, good work :D
Thanks for playing and the feedback! The difficulty increase might be too steep between the levels, I'll look into it :) Glad you had fun overall.
Love the idea, great level design, reminds me of the anime "Parasyte" if you are familiar!
Thanks for playing and yes, I have heard about it but didn't see it yet, might check it out soon.
Fun explodey humans. I'm not imagining a parasite. I'm imagining a hot potato.
That's definitely one way to interpret it :) Thanks for trying the game!
And now all the humans are dead... This felt a lot like golfing for humans, and I really enjoyed it. It was hard but rewarding, and as mentioned has a lot of speed running potential. I hope you continue this project!
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it! I did want it to be somewhat challenging, but its hard not to overshoot the difficulty sometimes, its great that it felt rewarding. I enjoyed working on the game a lot so I might expand on it in the future.
It has some serious speedrunning potential in my opinion. Had a great time playing this one!
Thank you for playing, glad you enjoyed! I found myself trying to speedrun the levels while testing so I see what you mean.
Legit really fun. At one point I found that with a good shot I could skip some people but it turned out you have to kill everyone. If it was about getting to the end instead it would bring a lot of open endedness. Please keep this going.
Thank you for playing and the feedback, I considered the idea of having a specific host that the player must infect and that would be the end of the level but eventually decided against it, you bring up a great point though that it would allow for more varied gameplay so I'll experiment with it!
5 stars for fun! I really enjoyed this game a lot. Reminded me of flappy golf or a coolmathgames game. I could easily play 50 levels of this. I highly suggest polishing and adding more to this. Great concept! Also, if you have some time, I'd love to hear what you think about my game!
Thank you for playing and the kind words! I'm glad the game turned out to be fun, that was my main goal, I really enjoyed working on it as well so I might continue it in the future. Just rated your game; love the visuals, the serious story and the little fishing minigame go together really well.
Very fun!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
Reminded me of the game stupid zombies on mobile I used to play when I was little but this is better.
Thanks for playing, I searched up the game and realized I played it too when I was little, completely forgot it existed.
Yep it was during the mobile game era lol. I hope you get more ratings this is game is very fun
Thanks, Your game is great too, already rated it! Good luck.
