Game that is in line with current events !

The game does follow current events :P I can agree with that! Very well executed :D

Controls were a little strange at first but I soon figured it out. I think it would be a little better balanced and feel better to play if you started out with fewer people on the street and fewer infected people and then slowly ramped up how many were on the street over time, as it is right now, it starts off already feeling very challenging and quickly becomes very unmanageable. With a few minor tweaks to this balance it would probably play a lot better. Nice graphics and sound design though, and a clever use of the theme.

Interesting gameplay concept. I could see the working with a Lemmings-type game where you need to monitor many suicidal NPCs.

A really fun and simple game! The sprites and tiles also looked great

Its a nice idea and feels good to play, just a bit difficult to manage everyone but i suppose that is where the challenge comes from Good job!

Very different approach! Like the mechanics and implementation. Great job!

A nice and rather smooth game! I really liked the art style, but I think the progression of difficulty could really improve with some tweaking. As others have pointed out, you get a bit overwhelmed in the beginning :sweat_smile:

Nice idea to build upon!

This is fun! The sound effects and art all work well together for the game. The game mechanics seem to be solid. Nice!

I thought this was very good. The theme is timely and on target. The graphics are simple but do the job. The audio is a bit basic but fine. The game objective is clear from the start, the game play is simple, smooth and fun. It's one of those "loosing games" though where you cannot win, the point is to delay failure for as long as possible, which is fine. It'd be nice to be able to measure your score against other players. I did 14000 on first play through - is that rubbish??? Please check out our game!

A fitting theme and a lot of fun on top of it. The toilet paper drops are awesome.

Nice original and interesting idea. It's well implemented. Just needs a few tweaks. Perhaps start with a few people on the streets and gradually more spawn from the appartments or the walk on to the scene. Could use more of the top half of the screen.
