Fun game! Managed to cure a patient :D It was terrifying when a group of green dudes bundled up, so hard to get through to shoot them. I like that the enemy's have different behaviour. 

Developer

Glad you noticed that they have different behavior depending on the kind of sickness:

Virus (green) spreads fast, that is why they shoot,

Bacteria (orange) wants to touch you, that is why they get close,, and flee when hit by medicine, or stuned when hit with antibacterial.

And fungus (purple) just spreads if not treated correctly with its medicine.

This was so much fun. Great concept to go with the theme. I like that it was really clear how to play. It felt very smooth and sounds were great.

I was thinking about making a game inspired by movie Innerspace (1987) or Microcosm (1993/CD32) video game.

I am glad somebody did. :)
Great work.

Innerspace  was my inspiration, and kinda mixed with a soap opera's  doctor show., great catch!

Fun - Fun game with a hilarious concept. The main menu page really took me for a ride

Theme -  I felt like I was on the magic school bus! 

Aesthetics -   Loved the hand-drawn aesthetic. Felt really home-grown, which really gives it that game jam authenticity I love.

Music -  I was jammin'!

Sound -  The sounds of the germs dying had me cracking up. Were those recorded by you? Hilarious.

Mechanics -   Tight, simple, effective. I wasn't guessing how to play, which was great.

Story - Fit the theme and made me laugh! Can't go wrong with that combination.

Overall - Great entry, really fun little arena shooter. Awesome work!

Developer

Yes, the sounds of the enemies dying where done by me, except the classic Wilhelm Scream. if you hear it once you will hear it in almost every movie or show, it is that overused.

Great job with this. It was fun and I like the gameplay loop you have going on.
