Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • This looks like a good game, I wish the infected characters sneezed more or coughed more, but other then that it looks good.
  • The gameplay seems like fun however not sure about the message here. Colors can play an important role in the overall message. Even though the color palette is very interesting, painting someone who is ill and spreading germs in white may result in changing the meaning. Perhaps playing around with the colors and their meaning along with the type of soundtrack could alter the meaning entirely. I see that attempt being made with the npc's that get infected so the team is definitely starting to think about the significance of art elements.
  • Is that typo in controller on purpose? Gameplay looks really nice - fun game. The R0 is probably a little high for corona, but in the interest of gameplay, I think it's OK :)

The latest version of the game (v2.0) fixes some NPC-AI issues. However this change was done shortly after the game submission deadline.
