Influenza: The Game by longchamps

Become the influenza virus and survive as long as possible in your human host.
The day before the first day of the compo, I came down with the flu. I didn't think I would be able to participate, but I used my sickness as inspiration and completed my first jam and first finished game period. It's a very simple game, but I learned a lot while making it.

The gameplay is a tad too simple for my liking. Adding in different types of white cells would help a lot. One slightly faster, one slowly homing towards the player, one bigger, one smaller, etc.. Small variations like these are easy to make and very effective.
The music got on my nerves pretty quickly, maybe that was specifically composed to spread the headache?
Taking your predicament into account this is alright for what it is. Hopefully your next jam will be less :thermometer_face: and more :sweat_smile:
I liked the responsiveness of the movement and the intro screen is great xD
The music is a little annoying and the game lacked some variety though... but what can I say? I felt these were the same problems of my entry :(
I liked it.
