This is a really original game, was fun to play. Feedback would be towards clarity, having to memorize the 3 colors for the areas, and what does it means every state a person have may be confusing at first. I would like to have them represented as icons above their heads, so it's easier to tell. The color shifting on top of the sprites may be really hard for colorblind people. In that regard, magenta and orange are really close together in the color wheel, changing them to be red-blue-green or cyan-magenta-yellow would prevent this.
Anyways, I'm not colorblind, wanted to comment that just as a recomendation. You did an awesome job.
