Additionally, I corrected the audio-rating to five stars too. ;)

Plague Your NeighbourAlso, very interesting to see your approach to the game. The best way to play is making a list of the food and eliminating each food item from clues throughout the game which is obviously a slow one. You saw a lot of clues and almost made the right choice but restarting the game meant resetting what was safe unfortunately haha. Great video though, very genuine voiceover!
I'd never heard of CEEFAX till now. The game has a pretty chill vibe, which is an interesting juxtaposition versus the underlying plague theme. The channel selector felt pretty smooth and the graphics are all pretty consistent which contributes to a pretty authentic playing experience. Definitely impressed with the dedication to fill out the channels. Great job :)

Murder on the Oriole Express!Awesome! Very glad you had a good time even without the nostalgia element. I am all too aware that the Ceefax style can be a liiiiiitle painful on the eyes if you're seeing it for the first time. Filling out the channels was always what excited me about the idea the most, I'm definitely a writer before a programmer ha! Thanks for the kinds words :)
Great entry. Really novel theme, and I think the chill music compliments the idea of going through a plague and horrors outside really nicely. The song was very pleasant to hear. I totally missed out on Ceefax but it certainly conveys the experience of another time! Well done.

Kill the virusPhew… this one is hard to vote for me. Well executed. The graphics are spot on but also pure eyecancer. :-D
Dont get me wrong, great job.

Plague BotsThis is amazing 😱. Super spot on with the 80s theme and the randomness. I love the little stories and nice details you've added. That is a lot of content!
If I had to mention anything, I'd say I missed some more SFX when navigating menus and events taking place in the game.
Wonderful job! 👏

PlagueAhh thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words, and that you enjoyed it. I knew I had to fill this bad boy to the brim with content to sell the concept as best I could so I did what I had to do
Very fair constructive criticism too, sound is still something I'm dipping my toes in with game design in general so I will take that on board for the next one
