Cool game with really interesting gameplay!
It's a lot to take in all at once, as others have said I think it could benefit from some smaller levels that introduce you to mechanics one at a time. Otherwise I found myself just wandering about not caring if I lost the first attempt because I just wanted to try and figure out where everything was and how everything worked. Overall the idea is sound though, things escalate in a good way.
A cool game idea with awesome sound design!
Fun game. I would've played it during class if I hadn't just graduated. But it'll always be an in-person, reverse version of Plague Inc., with snot as the progression mechanic. 😞✌️
Didn’t really get too much inspiration from Plague Inc. other than the rat mutation that’s a Plague Inc ripoff
Most inspiration is from the movie “The Thing” and COVID
Creativity 5/5
Very interesting idea.
Gameplay 3/5
The core is very interesting. However, you could start with small levels, introducing the mechanics cause there is a lot of stuff happening! Like, less people and rooms, etc. I felt a bit overwhelmed in the beggining with a lot of info.
Graphics 4/5
Very cool and simple. Looks like those old browser games.
Overall 3/5
I can't say I really enjoyed the gameplay cause I was very overwhelmed in the beggining. But, if more polished, it has potential.
Cool game! Loved the art!
cool game, the mechanics are nice and fun!
also loved the pixel art and the music, they feel coherent with the cenario. The ambient music really gives a countdown/urgency feeling.
i think there could be some better indication of the powerups/items . i got confused sometimes on where they were and i couldn't differentiate them just by looking as they are similar, so i had to stop moving the player and move the mouse to the tiny powerup box, which was a tid bit annoying.
overall pretty good tho!
Creative take on the theme! The music is very fitting and the art is great.
Too bad that non-browser games don't get that many rates.
By the way, please rate my submission if you have time :)
Yeah it keep crasing trying to do all the pathfinding
the concept was pretty cool! I liked figuring out and unlocking each tool
I would not survive in sick city LOL
OMG covid vibes, love the audio and art!
