Very interesting concept for a game. The music fit well - I could sit back and ponder which of the traits were needed. The simple vector art and colouring was also great, although it clashed with the two fonts. Having a sans-serif font there would have been good. However, the 'world population' counter doesn't appear to work for me, and it took me a long time to discover I could re-assign test subjects who had survived. Overall, a good effort that fits well within the theme.

That was lovely.

I really like the idea and level design. Basic set operations with a little coat. What a shame there's no random level generator!

It was a bit unclear how the multiple traits worked on one disease. I thought there needed to be both traits present to kill the desease, but eventually got it.

The theme is very nicely interpreted.

The music was bad, I muted it after a while.

The font didn't load for me and I was stuck with Times, which looked bad and messed up the layout...

Really enjoyed this game reminded me of being a kid and doing logic puzzles. I also enjoy the intergration with the theme of sacrifice. The only major problems I have with the game is that its standard resoution when played through HTML5 is awkward on my moniter, but that is fixed by just fullscreening the game. Also the music feels like its a little loud, but that might just be my speakers so take that with a grain of salt. I did notice a minor bug in that the worlds population count does not render while the game is playing on HTML5. The aestetic of the game worked well nothing looked like it didnt match its surroundings. I will say some of the icons where a bit confusing to me personally, but you added tool tips so I am fine with them being somewhat ambiguous. Overall I enjoyed the game.

Interesting idea. I think the puzzles where you have to find a combination of traits are a bit confusing. At first I thought both traits had to be present in the room for the test subject to survive.

Otherwise the puzzles were well designed.
