I love that bubble explosion animation in FPS mode.

In terms of gameplay, as others have said, increasing enemy difficulty would be nice; but in terms of Art Game About Proper Pandemic Procedures, it really struck me how easily the viruses could be held back with one upgraded sanitizer and proper social distancing - and how quickly the infection got out of control if the social distance wasn't there.

(By the way, I experienced the same bugs as others did - both the cash bug and the negative enemy numbers.)

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I'm glad that somebody got to experience the lack of social distancing leading to things getting out of control!

When the cash was working, I had hoped that starting off with a small amount of cash would have led to players having to make more strategic about if they were going to upgrade or build a new turret somewhere else. Perhaps if I revisited this I would put a limit on how many times a turret could be upgraded, random or semi-regular increases in enemy stats as the game goes on or other limiters such as turret ammo. I toyed with the idea that the turrets would have their own ammo and the player would have to jump in and reload it manually.

You mentioned having to reload manually.

You could make it work like an idle/clicker game! maybe you need to reload manually at first but an upgrade allows it to reload itself. So that's a tradeoff that you make. Maybe you could also have it so you collect the DNA from the virus to get cash rather than it being automatic - and that's something else you could upgrade to automate. Just a thought :)

Oh! Maybe the DNA is dropped and you have to jump down from the turret to run and collect it :D

I like the idea of manual reloading and nearly typed out in that reply a whole concept of jumping in and out to reload. Initially I was going to have the first person player be able to be infected and pass the infection around that way also, which is an idea I still like.
