I was curious to see your game so i did a fast check and it was really fun! The cutscenes were actually very nicely made, and the hiding behind object was a very nice addition to the gameplay, overall pretty nice!

Developer

Thank you! I was actually kinda worried about the cutscenes, since while I've done animation in the past, it's usually at a WAY smaller scale, so I'm glad you liked it!

Fun!! I wasn't expecting it to turn into a stealth game. I liked the difference between when you're near things you can hide under and when you're slowly crossing across the non-water parts, and how you learn the map a bit to figure out how to do that best.

Honestly I was really scared people wouldnโ€™t like learning the map, so Iโ€™m glad you were able to find fun in it like I do! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ’š

the first few screens of this game really cracked me up lmao. the gameplay was tough because germs kept spawning very far from cover hehehe.

Developer

If I had more time, I couldโ€™ve added in an easy & hard mode ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ Glad you had fun with it!

This is so good! It's tense, fun and fits the theme like a glove! I really hope it gets more recognition before voting is over! 

Developer

This is probably the best game Iโ€™ve made for a game jam in my own opinion, so o hope so as well! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ’š
