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!

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.
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!
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!
