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!
Also all of the graphical effects were well done, they were cute!
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!
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
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.
Nice audio and we like the concept!
I found the game play a bit repetitive and hectic, but greatly enjoyed watching the colors spread around. Fun and innovative idea!
