The idea is nice but the physical engine of Unity means that I get constantly stuck in civilians - managed to finish three levels, but then I gave up.
I like the concept and has lots of potential. Good job getting all that done in 48 hours!
Cool concept :)
very nice
Fun game, especially if further developed. It was pretty funny watching the guys crowd surfing due to the physics. More upgrades and a no-tag-backs rule for the infected should be added to make this an even more enjoyable game.
Very well executed. Cool concept. Congrats!
Good game, but the mechanics are strange. The last vaccine batch is more expensive and gives you less, while you have an incentive to let people get infected to get more money.... Is that a critic or a bug?
I got this weird bug where I couldn't turn or anything so I stiffed arm'd my way through the crowd. The beat is catchy as heck though!

Thank you all for your comments and feedback ! It's really appreciated and helpful ! Thank you again :) I will post update of the game so if you like it, come back I will add a 2nd version as soon as I'm done with all those school's exams
lotta text is off-putting at the beginning. I also found the mouse extremely sensitive, but that's a personal thing. otherwise, nice job!
Very Fun concept, but the collision with the citizens needs some work. Keep getting stuck in them lol.
Interesting concept and a great start, unity's collisions do hamper the situation a bit. Perhaps a more spread out crowd over a larger area would be better.
Very fun. I had unity physics flipping people over the place when playing the web version.
Heh controls are a bit awkward, but I like the concept!
Liked the idea, it seemed a little easy to complete though if you're quick enough. I did like the purchasing system, added some re playability. Nice job
Cool concept, Shame the physics spaze out but that's Unity for you.
Very fun - collision logic was a little off, but very cool anyway. Nice music and a fun concept, don't get the "you only get one" link though. Good job!
The concept is really great, too easy or i miss something,but i like very much the concept.
At first i was sceptical, but it's a great idea, and with lot of tools in the shop. It's really hard to overcomme the infection past the first couple of zombies. I find the collision good to add chalenge, and throwing other people into the sky is always nice ^^. Congratz
Hmmm very interesting game. Played it up to level 12. Wasnt sure if there was more to it after that. What was the surprise? endless mode? Good game + concept 5 stars
Hang on, so where's the cheerleader?!?
Never played a FPV before (first person vaccinator)
Great concept, but really difficult on the 3rd level!
I like it! It has everything it should have! Only one thing: It's not really based on the theme.
I played until lvl 11. I noticed that it is a lot easier if you just evade as many civilians as possible, especially close to zombies, because most of the time you will push them directly into the zombies and they get instant-infected.
Now i will take a look at the post compo version :) .
Again, thank you everyone for your comments and feedback. I will continue to improve the game so stay tune if you like it :) I still have one final exam to do tuesday, after that I plan to add more items and all the things I wanted to implement in the game. Don't hesitate to send me your suggestions !
Really funny)
Not bad, The sensitivity was way to high for me, but cool idea.
Good sense of progression in this game :)
I scored 40000 and had to give up :P
Cool concept, nice upgrade system. The song rocks hard! Also, there are two things specifically about Unity you should take notice:
1. Increase font size and decrease scale to enhance the resolution of 3DText;
2. http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2013/12/13/unity-devs-i-beg-you-do-not-use-standard-mouselook/
I had a lot of fun with this game. Also the music was awesome. The collisions with the crowd seemed really buggy though. Good job!
Overall was a fun game! running into the patients was a bit annoying but made it more fun!
Very cool game. Made it to level 10. really liked the music.
I like the concept! good work
An interesting play, could see some improvement in the visual impact.
i liked the idea but couldnt seem to cure anybody hmmm.. good job tho :)
Cool game. Great music choice. I like it.
Addicting, got up to 110 before I gave up.
Fun game! (played the post-comp); a thought: with music as present as this, it would be nice to have a mute feature (or to have a different track with each level). Nicely done though!
Interesting game. Adding an action to push people out of player's way maybe better.
I like the idea, but i think it would be better if it wasn't so obvious who was infected, maybe make it noticeably by a change in their behaviour or that they start munching on someone? :) Good job! :)
I found very funny sending zombies to the stratosphere while walking among them :)
I like the general idea, needle in a haystack, right?
What if we had a cure for the infection and start a profitable venture built around it. Chilling real world implications ;)
Nice game, definitely has some potential. Good work! (:
I nice idea and concept but it is a bit too buggy at the moment, other than that a cool game!
Great concept, and has something in common with my submission, so naturally I'm biased to liking it. ;)
One suggestion: spread the initial civilian spawn out a bit, and add more zombies to start with. It should make it more of a challenge.
Cool idea. Balancing was a bit off though, the first 4 levels I won before the virus spread to more than 2-3 people at most, but then level 5 it all kind of exploded and although I was able to keep curing people it just looked like it wasn't going to end. Movement was also a little awkward because it was very slow to decelerate. Could be fun with a bit of tweaking. Good work for 48 hours.
addicting. definitely grows on you. nicely done. :-)
the collision makes too difficult to traverse the crowd.
interesting tough
Nice idea, but when first time playing it, the physic engine blow me out to space...
walking through the crowd makes this kinda frustrating and hard, but in all other ways this is really impressive.
i was kicked off the screen haha. despite the little bugs, i thought amazing. the music beat is really catchy and everything makes you desperate to cure people. i really enjoyed.
Good fun! Liked the mechanics and also the items you could buy. Seems to be a little unbalanced as it is relatively easy to get the first zombie vaccinated and therefore clear the level without much difficulty.
I had grey npcs floating around in the sky, not sure why, but it looked like a good start.
Nice concept, that song is catchy too.
The spreading mechanic is cool, but the feedback loop is too intense. If you get patient zero right away you skip the level for free, but if you don't you be cleaning up for minutes. Would have loved to have a lose condition I was trying to avoid - like 10 people sick - have vaccinated people stay vaccinated, or have a splash damage weapon that could cure groups of people.
Nice game! Really funny!
Really good given the time constraints. I like the idea of saving people from an infection.
This reminds me so much of knifing people in CS!
Very cool! You should consider adding some cure bombs that have area of effect too.
Enjoyed the concept of this game!
The concept is there but there are still many glitches to make the game less fun. I like the game idea though and played for a while but in order to win, you have to get the first zombie and that zombie has to be on the outside.
You could transform it in serious game :D
Pretty fun game, but a little a bit annoying.
I wish there was an option to inverse mouse look.
Really, really liked this! Gameplay is simple, but fun and the music and sound effects perfectly support the idea. I even like having to push my way through the crowds. =) More! Better graphics! I think you have a winner on your hands, here!
Cool Game :D Zombies are still a good idea for every good game... I did it too :D
Interesting concept, good job!
YOGO Drugstore, nice. XD
Really liked the idea and a very good effort overall for 48 hours. The crowdwalking and people on each others' heads were weird though.
Great music + really fun = awesome. Too bad it's so hard to move around within all these guys :P
Maybe the theme could have been explored slightly differently... it's a bit easy to just say 'you have only one chance' ^^
Still a very good little game ;)
Cool idea, but somewhat wonky physics. It was difficult until I figured out you could just cure a bunch of people until you could afford the immunity vaccines - then it was smooth sailing.
It was fairly easy until level 8, then it suddenly got incredibly hard. Nice little entry, not sure if it has a win condition.
Cool concept, I got caught out by the store the first time and was hammering every key on the keyboard to see what was going on. Maybe in the interest of avoiding rage quit, and escape key or something would get rid of the store, but the store 'area' still triggers it? Well done for 48h!
This game is so fun! The song fits very well too. Congrats!
Welcome to the land of green people : http://i.imgur.com/wjxK6ir.png
Fast concept and catchy music !
My tips :
-Use the first 2 levels to grind money with controlled spreading of infected
-To cure, go to the isolated zombies first, so they can't spread more (it's easier to cure a bunch of concentred infected)
It's impossible to cure zombie when they got stuck on the shop aera, just push them out of it (thanks to Unity Phsyics !)
I really really like the concept, however this is really unpolished. You could have done so much more with the graphics and the controls to make this great.
This has great potential, and it's in general a nice entry :)
Interesting entry, original gameplay && good music! :)
Interesting take on the theme. :)
Very good game,, keep the working and more levels
I still remember your bomb defuser project from last ludum dare, good to see you again! Not a bad game, was kind of a pain trying to walk through the crowd, but pretty good overall
I feel like trying to do a 3d game held you back here and prevented you from fully realizing the design. Moving through the crowd was really difficult with guys teleporting in front of me. It also looked like I was able to just buy as many vaccines as possible. Impressive none the less as I think the amount of work required to make a 3d game in a game jam is substantially more than a 2d game.
Interesting idea, but its a bit slow. It could do with everything running a bit faster.
Nicely done! Really cool concept, but super difficult moving through a crowd!
Difficulty ramps up too quickly, physics are pretty bad, but otherwise quite fun.
Really nice concept... Maybe you should improve collisions but it's fun anyway! Congrats! :)
Themes not really in there cause you start with 10 vaccines, and can buy more. But, the idea is fun, I quickly got overwhelmed. Good Entry
I like the concept of virus spreading, it can be very difficult if you wait too long.
Hard to understand what to do really. Cool idea though.
Good ideas and very cool game. I really enjoyed this.
I don't know how you handled collisions, but there are better ways to do it. Also there is a sharp difficulty spike at level 3.
I felt like I had to restart every level where I couldn't get the first infected withing the first second.
Impressive music and idea :)
Is it me or I healed everyone and nothing happens ?
Thank you everyone for the amazing feedback and comments !
@eskivor : you need to cure the red one. After 10 seconds, a civilian get infected and turn red. "You only get one chance" to cure him before he infect more and more citizen ;)
Thanks for the feedback about the collision system ! I know it's a mess, I was under pressure (Got a final exam saturday and lost a day of development)
Since, I've read a lot on how to handle collision and I'm working on a new version of the game :D
Again, I want to thanks everyone that played this game and thank you very much for your feedback, it's very much appreciated !
This is real good.
FPS purge sim?
Impressive for 48 H
!
Thanks for your comments on my game and article! I like this a lot - pretty frantic to try and cure them in the first few seconds.
Hey nice game, well done ! That collision bug is kindda annoying some times but it's pretty addictive.
Wow fast paced ones you get into it! Good Game!
When I tried to walk into the crowd, everyone started flying and I teleported away. Really hard to navigate that way. The zombie also just started walking away, wasn't actively hunting anyone. The second playthrough went smoother, but dealing with the crowd is annoying.
I like it! A bit easy if you approach che crowd before the patient zero appear, but nice concept! Collisions also a bit strange...
Not a bad entry, music and sfx were decent, and most of the suggestion I had were answered in the updated version so good on you. Just add some variance to the level design!
Because the instructions said I was supposed to vaccinate people from the virus, I ran around for the longest time giving shots to healthy people. As vaccinating the sick shouldn't work. Then, finally as I was about to give up -- I didn't see how my action had any affect, and it was outright impossible to keep track of which grey dude I had previously given a shot, I tried vaccinating the sick. So aside for the oddity of the biology involved (you could develop it into being able to use zombie-blocking medicine for sick and vaccine for healthy in the future though to expand the game. Vaccinate to make grey turn green with some fitting chance e.g. 70%), I think it was a pretty cool game idea and well executed compo entry that could be elaborated into something really nice. E.g. also adding more behaviors to the people and zombies (walking, running, scared, etc).
I like how many people are in the crowd. It feels hectic, you want to go ahead and knock out those infected before it gets out of hand. I didn't end up using the store.
Quite good for a limited time, I definitely loved the idea and the gameplay, too bad the physics are glitchy sometimes and models are too basic (not bad for 48 hours though). Great entry, good job!
P.S. I don't see a source link too.
Nicely done! I had some troubles to get to infected people so instead of curing them I helped to spread the virus but this made more fun. :)
Throwing syringes with a slingshot is surely a fun idea.
I played till the level 11.
Contamination mechanics was funny and I liked how much liberty the mobs get (I found a zombie almost behind the hospital).
The music is fun and suits well the game.
Was sometimes flung into the air when in the crowd but the idea is good and still quite fun.
Nice original game. I like the virus spreading concept.
The game really spooked me out. xD I liked the game, although the physics was a bit off for me and the game got really difficult out of no where. The idea is good though, and the audio was nice. Good work!
Fun game, although it was very frustrating when I would get caught on people.
I got a little stuck due to the physics engine, but this is fun! Are you developing it further?
