A fun game to play. It strikes a good balance between people and cars coming your way without becoming to hectic. Nice job on the main menu and the virus "particles" effect. I'd love to have more routes to the hospital and some freedom to find my way.
Watch me play your game here!

Thank you for the comments - I especially appreciate the input on more paths and finding your own way. That's good advice.

Great game! Graphics were amazing, and I see some good potential for future updates. The main I want to see is the ability to get vehicles which would make you go faster, because right now the game is a little slow paced for me. But overall great job!

I didn't make it to the end, the virus infected me twice, then on my third try I was hit by three cars. 

I feel like I don't need this job though, what with all the money I can make from suing the driver that hit me at the crosswalk. I had the right of way!

When I died to the car it also said viral overload, even though that time my virus load was fairly low because I stayed in the street.

That was lots of fun... Though now I may be afraid to even take a walk!

I really like the virus-infection animation. After restarting, I did get a "wrong way" notification that I don't think should have popped up; otherwise everything went really smoothly. I thought the opening credits were really clever.

Thanks! You are correct - I am not clearing the message state when reloading the level. Have the fix but can't update until after the jam. Don't forget to rate my submission :)
