Nice idea! It's really hard to win, since the population is in constant flux :)

Great Idea ! I didn't really understand at start but The Game is fun !

Managed to beat it, but I don't entirely fully understand how I did it.. Cool game though!

I like the music and even though the graphics are simple I think they work really well! I think the concept was fun, but it was a little too easy to win and I felt like I won every round? I'm not sure if there was a way to lose.

It is also a little confusing when you load it up even after reading the description I had to play a little bit to understand what was going on.

I love the style of the game in low res like this ! A bit difficult to understand how everything is used at first but great game !

This was pretty hard at first but I figured it out eventually! Sometimes it can be confusing to figure out where the trace goes if a few people are really close to each other. I really love the music, SFX, and the art style!! And I also appreciate that the number of AP you get per round increases over time. Not sure how long it would take to get to a lose condition though?

A bit confusing at first, but after understanding a bit more it was reasonable enjoyable. I really liked the sound effects and the music was solid, and I really appreciated the minimalism in the art - very nice submission!

Love PICO-8 games. Great art. Had difficulties to understand at first, but the game is fun. A bit fast, but fun.

I like the use of simple shapes, but it seemed like it was too easy. I didn't realize at first that yellow lines after tracing meant that the person was healthy and was put back.

wOW! This thing is mega mega mega polished, man.... And the game idea is so original. FINALLY NOT A PLATFORMER (we made a platformer :cry:)

The game sure was a ton of fun. Tracking the infected citizens was straightforward and addictive. I really love how you made the most of PICO-8 to propose a great simulation-based entry.

Strenghts : - Simulation...in PICO-8 ! - Fun premise and gameplay

Possible improvements - The game is a bit obtuse at first, a quick tutorial would help.

Great job !

EDIT:

I just notice there are also cases that needs multiple traces. This makes this game even more impressive and fun!

Aweesome game. It has cool vibes and and the cool audio makes it a great package. I really enjoyed it :)

An interesting idea with nice execution, the audio really adds to the emergency mood of the ingame situation.

Love this one. Was a bit confused the first game but finally enjoyed it. Nice entry !
