The idea is extremely interesting. It would be even better to have a bit more policies to experiment with, and some way to understand how each specific policy affects the spread and population. Would have loved to take a peek at the source, if only I knew stencyl. Bonus points for the presentation, the curves are pretty neat.
Really great concept overall with amazing potential, I deeply encourage you to develop it further !
As a lover of simulation games this was a nice little treat to come across. I appreciate having game speed settings on such a small game implementation. Despite the simplicity of the Ui it's very informative and natural to engage with. The font was a little small for me and a zoom with the browser makes it a bit brash, but that's my only criticism. Would love to see you do more with this.
Interesting game, I got my best result by just closing schools and limiting gatherings to 10 all the time. My biggest issue when playing it was that the font was a bit hard to read. Maybe a different font and bigger texts would work better :)
Good job!
Cool idea, very timely! The font was pretty hard to read but besides that very well made!
This is actually pretty interesting to see as you fiddle with different parameters. Depending on your sources and numbers, I think this transcends the category of a "game", but rather an important tool that could be useful, if anything, to educate people out there.
I do have to rate you on something. The font as others have said, is difficult to read. But more importantly, I wish I could see the parameters and numbers behind the scenes displayed on the UI. Like maybe tell me the infection rate you're using, and how different policies might affect that number. Stuff like that. And perhaps also a quick access to references and sources that you're basing your simulation on.
It's a really interesting tool. I'd love for this go beyond Ludum Dare. Thanks for your hard work, great job!
I wished to see a game about COVID-19 and here it is! Great job, and like other users said, it could really become more than just a game. Bcs it's really important to educate people on the subject and a game is the most interactive and useful tool for it I think.
But few comments: the font is very difficult to read, maybe the full screen option could help. Also it would've been nice to have more policies and more information of how they affect the citizens. Because it felt like I did something. but I didn't exactly understand, why I was doing it and what was the impact of each policy. Also, the virus was spreading anw despite of my policies, so I would like to know why — people still go out? Or we've done more tests and that's why? I really needed more data.
But as a start is totally awesome and it can become a great educational tool I think.
This was very interesting! It had a lot of different things to manage, and it was really cool to see how opening and closing different places effected the curve :D
Great entry. It was pretty accurate I think good job. Only Issue for me was the font, but after zooming in and getting used to it it was easier. BTW i also made a virus simulation, check it out if you like.
Less of game, more of a simulation and yet still speaks to something that few entries do, possibly due to the current state that we're in at the moment. Glad I had my go at it.
