Microbial Menace by tetrapteryx

You operate the decontamination room on a penal colony. Hose down the workers before they infest the whole prison with alien parasites.
Note: you can hold down the spray button for a sustained spray.
I'm sorry I ran out of time to add keyboard shortcuts.

P.S small bug: the sound keeps on playing when the spray button was pressed the moment in the perfomance review opened :-)
I killed everyone and got a promotion! Immaculate vibes especially like the visual effects while contaminated. Also nice sounds fellow beepBox user :))
I may have "rejected" one too many people to make quota...

@andriana-mantidfly Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :heart:
@big-cyckos I appreciate the feedback! Sorry about the lack of clarity. I wanted it to be difficult to assess at a glance, but not to the point of not making sense. There's a particle effect to show the contamination level on the workers. Even a mild case needs at least a few seconds of spraying to clear completely. I hope that helps?
As others have stated, it's also not entirely clear what you have to do to progress. I notice that everyone who's "won" the game actually failed more shifts than they completed, which doesn't make intuitive sense to me.
Overall, though, this is a very well-polished and cohesive game. Well done!
