Hello,

I got a good idea last night. I would like to participate in a gamejam about the Covid. This will be a nice game with no blood involve :).

1 week long is perfect,  I will start next monday and keep a minidevlog here.

Cheer up, keep coding and have fun !

Great, welcome on board!

Have you already an idea of the type of game you want to develop?

Submitted

Yes sure !

I am planing to make an asteroid like game. So the name will be Virusroid.
You got it, the player spacecraft must kill the Virus coming from everywhere.

It fits the rules, so let's go :)

Good luck and don't hesitate to post screenshots and devlogs here :)
