Midori has a cold! by derr
This game was created for Ludum Dare 40.
Midori has a cold! Help her get better so she can play outside with her friends.
In this game you indirectly help her immune system fight off bacteria. The game is inspired by a very obscure DOS game I loved as a kid called PC-Bakterien.
Controls Hint
You can rotate arrows by right clicking. I should have made that more obvious...

The DOS-style aesthetic and music were nice. Only issue I ran into was the need for an alternative way to switch inventory. (I couldn't find one anyway) Some of my pointing devices don't have scroll wheels. Perhaps click on the item box, or with the numeric row keys. The use of the first couple of levels as tutorial were a godsend since I knew I wasn't going to remember all the text instructions.
But the game looks polished and well made.
Great entry!
