In what way does your game fit the theme?
Rubella is all about teaming up with your fellow virus strains so you can do greater things. The more versions of yourself that you can collect, the more powerful you become!
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all assets were made by me (minus a few of the sound effects purchased from Splice)

I really liked the music and the hammer section. Some criticism would be that finding all of the 20 can be boring sometimes, movement is faster diagonally, and not knowing the water kills you. It was still a fun game especially trying to avoid all of the bugs.
Nice Game! I loved the music and overall vibe! One thing to point out though, is the movement Vectors aren't normalized, so you move twice as quickly diagonally. Otherwise, great game!
I wish I came up with the idea of the camera zooming out. The ants are scary at first, but once you get the ball rolling its pretty easy to avoid them from the far. The minigames between the actual gameplay are a really nice touch. Awesome game, Nice One! haha
A small game with a lot of charm! The use of camera to show character growth was a nice touch!
Very fun game to kill some time! Its easy to understand and nice to play, and the animations and the sounds are smooth, realy liked that.(Specialy because i am horrible at doing transitions on my games :P). Nice game in overall, i just whink it would be better if the other virus didnt walk on places that give damage to the main virus because that realy confused me on where i should and shouldnt walk.
And play my game if you have sometime, i think you gonna like it: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928164#post-266607
Awesome game.. Really liked it, keep it up! It would have been nice if you increased the Field Of View of the camera.
It looks like Tasty Planet, but with different mechanics. I really liked the interactive transitions, keep it up dude!
This game looks fantastic. The sprites have so much personality, and are very clear in what they portray (even if it a strange, morphing meatball monster) The gameplay is fun as well - reminds me of agario but singleplayer. And, the music is funky.
I liked how there were different gameplay types to interrupt each other. I did encounter a glitch with the hammer that made me have to restart, but I went back and played it again anyways.
Good game :) One thing I would say is make it more clear what can hurt you because I would just run into objects without realising
Great game. I felt like there could have been a few more creatures at the start but I love the art!
pretty fun, I like the level design and the interaction to get into next level. some complaints though:
1. in first level, maybe add more virus at beginning, because at first there are so few and as a new player you get lost what should you expect to do
2. add more clear instruction about what is dangerous and what is not. maybe give all dangerous items a special color/border so it is clear those stuff you should avoid. Otherwise player might get hit something they think should be safe but die.
3. As a not expert player, I would hope to restart level not the whole if I die lol
4. the worm in the first level fliping sometimes and make it harder to avoid them.
But in general I like this game and idea and the art!
Great feedback! Thanks so much!
lovely game!
Very simple but without a doubt the most fun game so far! Genuinely was trying to get as high score as possible. Great job!
Super fun once you get going. Love the subtle story line, the music is super groovy, and overall the concept is fantastic. Nice!!!
The music and SFX are spot on! I just think a little hard at the beggining, when the camera is close, sometimes i just keep wandering without finding other rubella. Also its kinda hard to know which things kills you, so you end up avoid everything. Its is very troublesome when you die on the level 2 onward, you have to begin in the first level. The animation on the score and "hammer at 20" is so cool. A really fun game overall, sure gave me some laughs haha.
very nice and cool game, it took me for a while to find friends but i might be the noobness of me :D
Fun game design, but massively punishing to just die if you touch water. Nevertheless I loved travelling around, slowly growing, yearning for the hammer! We made a top down microbes-game too, interestingly!
Cool game! It was really fun and i almost made it throught the entire game, but restarting from the very beginning when you die is a bit punishing, maybe just the stage youre at should reset. But otherwise great game!
That is a fun idea, and the music just brought me into the moot to play your game a while now, real good attempt and perfect fit to the topic of the game jam, congrats !
Please vote for our game too :slight_smile: Thank you.
