Sitting there, clicking 5 buttons and waiting for all of humanity to die. I enjoyed it!
Good game, but not sure if it has an ending because I infected more people than I had on Earth.
Really nice game, reminds me a lot of Plague Inc. Keep up the good work!
Super fun game! I love idle games so this was right up my alley. I did eventually get bored at around 800k score but decided to push to 1mil.
in my opinion this is one of the coolest ideas for the theme. Like i genuinely think that it has the best idea for the theme out of any other game on this jam. of course my thoughts on gameplay are different. one of the biggest problem is that "waiting" is a game mechanic. there's probably more i would say but i don't have time. i didnt have the most fun, although blame that mainly on my gen-z attention span lol. But hey! I know some people would really like this kind of game. keep doing what your doing. i hope you liked my gameplay vid i sent you in the general chat on discord though.
Thank you so much. To prevent the feeling of waiting, I added those random texts, but I realize they're not very effective. As another guy suggested, maybe being able to interact with the planet or having more things to do on the screen while waiting could be better. In the next update, I'll try to implement these ideas. Thanks again for the video, you're too funny.
I think this was really creative! The music was great! I would've loved to see something happen as the virus mutates. Like maybe the graphic in the center was the virus becoming more deadly instead of the globe? Overall, great submission!
This game is part idle clicker, part text-based RPG with a relaxing yet subtly ominous soundtrack and charming visual aesthetic. You have to read detailed text reports about the virus progression and plan your adaptations accordingly. It's an interesting idea how the virus is like an RPG character and you have to choose the right skill build to get a high score. The globe graphic is cool, and it's fun to click the virus icon whenever it pops up. But there is a lack of feedback from choosing the upgrades, as there isn't much interactivity beyond reading the reports coming in. I wish I could rotate the globe myself and zoom into the different regions to perhaps influence my choices further. But I know this is a short jam so the scope is limited. Congrats on your first jam entry!
