Nice little game! I like the concept of the game, especially because the cure to the virus is whacking someone with a large hammer and I think that's a very funny and original way to beat a virus. I also liked the idea of the Abuse-o-meter and I personally think that "Townsvillage" is one of the best names I've heard for a town so far. I also like the little squashing animation of the houses and dumpsters. I really didn't understand how you were able to figure out who is infected and who is not, because no one would show any signs, but I later on realised that that was the entire point of the game. All in all a very nice and fun little game! Well done!
Thank you for the thorough review~!
Just finished watching your video and that was honestly hilarious, you got yourself a subscriber!
And the genius Townsvillage name was the brain child of my sleep deprived partner @Ahmad hahaha
Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for the kind words :)
Nice and simple game. Nice effect you've got there for the hammer whack!
I have a doubt tho, how do we know exactly, which citizens are infected. I was guessing and got it right in one round
Heyyy! Thank you for your feedback.
The game is about trying to figure out who is infected, so you should be keeping an eye on where the citizens are going and also checking the number of infected citizens. So it's basically doing detective work.
Maybe we should have made this point clearer.
Whacky little Game you got there.
I thought I am missing some information though.
I won on my 2nd round but had some pure guess work to do.
I thought I can see whether someone is infected or not by judging the number going up when a group talks, while others being solo cannot infect more or get infected. I saw my number go up after a group of 3 was talking and all other citizens where solo, turns out only 1 of the 3 was infected. Weird.
Nice concept very smooth play good job guys
really fun to play, I enjoyed it very much!
Really nice and interesting gameplay !
Alot harder than I expected it to be but pretty solid gameplay over all. The music helps give the errie feeling of a pandemic yet at the same time gives off an energetic beat to remind you it's just a game.
The graphics are simply and colorful enough to portray what's needed and the animations that follow also give off the game's relaxing tone.
Over all it's pretty good and would recommend :)
Absolutely love the idea! Very focused on the concept of staying at home to limit spreading the virus. It also visualizes what we feel like doing to people not sticking to the lockdown rules: whacking them with a huge hammer to bring them back to their senses!!
I would totally include this game in an awareness session on COVID-19!
This was also our idea at first, then turned into Pack to the Future xD Check out our twist on this idea. Also, loved the game!
Thank you! :)
I unfortunately couldn't get the mac download to work :(
But from what I can see from the screenshots, the art style looks beautiful!
really good ! it's fun to play, easy to understand, I like it :D
Good game. Nice concept . I highly recommend it
Thank you for the thorough breakdown :)
I like the sense of humor , and especially the art and the controls ! ..the music fits well for this game . Good job for the effort, there's some game design issues made me lost at first.But overall its nice!
We tried to clarify that you need to pay attention to the infected meter in order to identify sick people in the tutorial but it could have been clearer with an animated example :)
Thank you!
Always great to play games with a sense of humor! Well done!
