I had a good time playing this game. It fit the theme well and I liked the graphics and the audio. I thought I was doing good until grandpa died from lack of affection without me realizing it. The various effects that each virus had made the game interesting trying to avoid them. I think my favorite thing is the LD 46 statue in the center of the map, it looks really nice.

Was expecting corona, received the inverse cold immobilizer instead :D

This game is really fun. I love the different viruses and their consequences and the graphics and music are perfect for the game!

cristi-mihai 2020-04-21 02:12

This is a fantastic entry on all aspects, good job guys!

whydoidoit 2020-04-21 02:13

Looks really lovely!

drcheetos 2020-04-21 02:50

I only wish there was a way to not get hit by viruses.. But I like the song and the graphics! Well done!

pips 2020-04-21 03:29

Really awesome entry, I really love the graphics and gameplay! good job

los 2020-04-21 03:32

A fun and challengeing entry ;)

rebecca-harrison 2020-04-21 03:33

Love the graphics. I feel bad. I couldn't save grandpa. No matter how many times he died. ;o;

dummydojo 2020-04-21 03:35

LOL. Very fun and entertaining game. Graphics, humor, theme, and fun are off the charts! Love the different ways you have to balance in keeping him alive. Super sad though hahaha

shay-cichocki 2020-04-21 04:45

Was a fun take on the idea very playful nature to a very dark side of thing. It was like Overcooked meets a nursing home. Good game play with a playful tone. Definitely a good game for the jam.

raomer 2020-04-21 04:46

Couldn't save grandpa. Poor grandpa. The different viruses are fun and the effects they have on you. Graphics and music fits, gameplay ist fun :)

synoxgames 2020-04-21 04:53

Entertaining, simple, yet quite difficult. A very solid game, I kept playing and playing! Keep up the good work, the music, and graphics were nice and cute!

rich 2020-04-21 05:35

I really liked the game. The visuals are amazing and I like the soundtrack.

fireshake 2020-04-21 15:35

Really cool game! seems a bit like Pac Man during a pandemic^^

hassan-khallouf 2020-04-21 15:38

nice game, nice art and game setting.

Controls are a bit clunky, I think you can lower the liner drag on the rigidbody if you are using unity's physics?

also the map gets crowded really easy and touching the viruses is faster than making maneuvers I think if you make the map a little larger and randomize the resources building after each time you pick something up would make the game much better.

Good job!

tom-stephenson 2020-04-21 15:40

I really like the visuals and the effects each virus type has on the player! The map felt a little too overcrowded at times which made me just run through enemies instead of around them. Overall a fun game, good job!

vulgaris 2020-04-21 16:31

nice graphics and setting, also the background music is a great addition. I'd love if i could gain shields of some sort or any other consumable that would help me avoid the viruses temporally.

northerndevguy 2020-04-21 20:21

Great art, nice music job well done! Too bad for grandpa...

wallaby 2020-04-21 20:22

Really fun game! I love the music and how challenging is to pass through the viruses. I agree with @vulgaris about shields or something. Great game!

almighty-games 2020-04-21 20:23

This is a great game, and I hope you do well in the scoring. First of all, the graphics are very well done. Grade A! The town layout is very strategic. The look and feel of the game makes sense in both art and strategy. In other words, it's very easy to tell what you need to do based on simple shapes and colors for different types of pickups. The music was very fitting, and left me in a sort of elevated mood while I raced through the game to collect what I needed while avoiding obstacles. Overall, great jam entry. Best of luck!

pixel-error 2020-04-21 20:33

Fun and innovative! Pacman on steroids with extra gameplay features and theme that is more than ever relevant! The death screen is halarious :) Also I was intresting for to look how developed the "grandpa character theme" since the main character in my game is grandpa too!

pele90 2020-04-21 21:24

I love the graphics, quirky sound and overall look and feel of the game. After 20 seconds or so, or when you do each run for each of the required items, it gets a little bit boring. Of course with more time I think it could be very fun game. Nice job.

studiocurtis 2020-04-21 21:26

Love it. Love it. Love it. Beautiful visual design and fun game play elements. Consider adding a virus-zapping mechanic, or a supply of face masks :-)

nosfer 2020-04-21 21:29

RIP Grandpaaaaa ;( Love the level of graphics polish on this one

magus77 2020-04-21 21:32

love how it corners, smoothly like butter :) and the idea of reversed keyboard is great, that was hard man!

pakmanlie 2020-04-21 21:33

Its a bit too difficult and viruses are hard to avoid. Other wise it is pretty polished.

forgeronstudio 2020-04-21 21:36

Love the look and feel of it - that moment where the meter is almost out and you have to slide right next to a virus definitely gave some adrenaline! Maybe having more types of viruses that come in as the game progresses, or making slight changes to the map would help vary difficulty and extend game time? Cool and fun concept!

darylsteak 2020-04-22 05:17

The simplistic graphics are very well done! I also like the music. It would have been nice to have a way to combat viruses however, maybe a pill you can get from somewhere that can stop you from taking damage once?

interface 2020-04-22 05:49

Great jam game. Simple mechanic, simple but great graphics and music. Really great entry. One thing though, it's pretty difficult. Some tweaking and balancing can probably really improve the game; there's no good way to wait or get around viruses for example. Also can't pickup multiple items so to do one by one, so it seems almost impossible.

d1str4kt0r 2020-04-22 09:44

I love this entry with all my heart. Miss you grandpa..

d1str4kt0r 2020-04-22 09:45

My game is like a dull version of your hahaha

rodpraet 2020-04-22 19:49

That Ludum Dare statue is awesome! The game is nice, with great art.

It's hard to avoid the viruses, maybe the streets could be a little wider to make it a bit easier. Being able to carry only 1 item is also a hard thing. Sometimes I have to rush from food to candy and there are many viruses in between.

But it's a great game. Good job!

drazihnya 2020-04-22 19:57

Nice graphics and music and I like the level design but felt it was too hard for me. Great job overall

david-greene 2020-04-22 20:06

Amazing entry! Just like everyone else has said, this is a great game. As it's topical, I highly encourage you guys to make this playable on a phone -- I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Make sure to post back if/when you publish a final copy.

martin183 2020-04-22 21:49

A bit hard to avoid the viruses, quite cute character theme!

evgeniya-zapolnova 2020-04-23 15:00

Cool game! I really ehjoyed playing. P3 virus is the best one :)))

herniewise 2020-04-23 16:19

Que tal ignacio? Liked the game a lot. Graphics are cute and sharp, it is challenging and the viruses on street add to the challenge without being too annoying. It is well balanced. It is kinda weird but understable that you can't grab two needs at once, maybe that would make the game too easy.

Great job overall

john-snyder 2020-04-23 16:25

A nice and simple game. I think the graphics are very good and I love the little animations like the idle animation for the player was a nice touch. I do think the health bars drain a bit too slowly making the game feel like there's little urgency. Other than that great job!

joannetteg 2020-04-24 13:40

Very well polished ! The size of virus and character vs. the width of the roads could probably be tweaked, but other than that, very solid entry, really enjoyed it.

coolestdoggie 2020-04-24 15:45

Good job!

2020-04-24 19:15

Cute graphics! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/rlppIbg4aVI

beng 2020-04-25 17:38

What awesome artwork! We weren't able to keep Grandpa alive for very long. A really nice entry! Thanks.

meo-benderson 2020-04-26 12:58

Cute graphics. Heartwarming theme and title.

emmyoop 2020-04-26 15:50

This is a great entry. Love the music transitions as Grandpa needs something. Was a bit weird that it felt like I should be able to move across the entire street but seemed contained to one side. It also seemed random if I got infected by a virus or if I was able to go around it. Love the "invert keyboard" virus - very creative hazard.

deathstorm 2020-05-11 10:05

Awesome Graphics and very cute aswell.

The soundeffects and the music plays well and the game mechanics are simple and solid.

Well Done
