This game is super aesthetic. I like the first two levels that introduce you to the mechanics. I also like that the levels are generated and gives each play a different experience. The level gets harder the longer you linger because the plague spreads to all the NPCs over time. Well done!

great 80s theme :) The audio sounded really authentic, though one minor comment is that the sound only came through my left headphone which is my bad ear so I wasn't able to experience it fully.
Felt pretty polished though. nice job!
The graphics fit perfectly the 80s theme! :)
I playtested your game in a small video:
Great job! Lovely twists and the game plays and feels right. I liked that it feels real-time but has the tactic nature of a turned-based as well. The game feels fresh and original. The rain got me in the end but it was quite a bit of fun!
I love the aesthetic. You were spot on with the 80s style, it reminds me of the Stranger Things game. Full marks for theme! The graphics+audio style is consistent, simple and on point.
To give some constructive feedback I'd say that I kind of wish I could move faster. I know it's "turn" based, but maybe leaving an arrow key pressed could mean that moving to the next tile takes a bit less time.
I think this would be worth polishing, expanding on and releasing. It may work well on mobile or web. Brilliant job!
