Still as awesome as before, one of my favorite games from the game jam. The Germ-nomicon is really great and I love that you can look at every frame of the animations. Almost got lost and played way too long again :)
Just came here to say I've never learned about illnesses and played tile matching game at the same time but today was the day (amazing game)
Thank you so much for playing! Glad we can break the mold a little bit :p
I really enjoyed this game it’s pretty addictive!!! At first I wasn’t very good and found it a bit hard to understand, but once I got the hang of it, I couldn’t stop playing. Such a great game! <3
heck yeah!! it does take a bit to get used to it but once you get into that flow state its like a different game! im so glad you enjoyed! thank you for taking the time to play it :)
The art is so cute!! I'm glad I was able to try it now, and it's awesome to play it in the browser especially! I was very impressed by the tutorial, and though I was still confused at the beginning because it's not the kind of mechanic I'm used to, eventually I couldn't stop playing! Well done <3
Im glad you came back to give it another try! I understand the confusion, there are some things that need to be fixed like the merging bug and adding sliding animations so its easier to keep track of the germs. thank you for taking the time to play it, i worked hard on the art so im glad you liked it!
ooo i luv the gameplay and the music! a shame i cant rlly play it in fullscreen bc it ends up looking weird but i still enjoyed playing it ^^ feels quite puro-puro like which mightve been where you drew an inspiration from for ur game mechanics :O
There is a resolution adjuster in the settings that should help with it fitting on to the screen better! But im really happy to hear you enjoyed it regardless, thank you! :)
I might be stupid, but I felt a bit frustrated by not understanding how the game works, exactly. The tutorial is very clear, but once I'm thrown in the action the viruses don't seem to behave like I expect them to, and I don't feel like there's enough visual feedback for me to learn while doing how they behave. My advice would be to make the viruses move smoothly, so as to give the player a clear idea of where they are moving to. Besides that, I really like the game! It's polished and complete enough to keep you hooked for a long time! And the description of the viruses with the images? So cool and cute and a nice addition that I wasn't expecting. Great job!
I completely agree, if we could have figured out how to make the germs actually slide in the direction theyre moved instead of just teleporting that would make things a lot easier to understand! Alongside figuring out how to prevent them from merging when the fall sometimes 😅 Thank you for your advice, I really do appreciate the cronstrutive critisim! And im glad you were still able to enjoy the game despite its flaws :)
Wow, such an interesting concept for a game. At first, it was hard to know what I was doing, but once I got the hang of it, it became really fun. I love the art, the sprites for the different microbes are so cute!
Great game!
Finally my weird interesting in microbiology pays off 🤣 im glad you liked the art! I worked hard to make them cute but also still resemble their irl counterparts! Thank you for playing!!
Hello
I liked the information about the different virus, bacteria, etc…
The game is easier but still hard! At least I managed to survive longer!
Great work! Congratulations!
Thank you! yeah the game takes some time to understand but I’m glad you came back to play it and took the time to look through the germ information :)
Glad you were able to get a web build working! While I still had a tiny bit of problems with the resolution, I was able to work around it and kind of zoom out on my browser and play. But truly, all the work and polish on this is so impressive! The entries about the viruses, the art, and just everything about the presentation is so good! Great work again!
We are also glad haha getting an html build wasn’t our top priority but i had some time to play around with it some I’m glad everyone is appreciative of it! In settings there is a option to change resolution if you tried that and still had issues please let me know! Thank you so much for playing :)
I loved how addicting this entry was, and I especially liked the different cute designs for the diseases/germs. Nicely done.
Thank you so much, I worked hard trying to keep the germs cute but still calling back to their irl counterparts! It does get addicting even for us haha that moment when you just need to lock in is where is at! Im glad you enjoyed it :)
This was my favorite game in all of the jam and it's so polished I could see it being released commercially with little to no changes! I rated it a solid 5 in all categories. I ended up losing like almost an hour to it :)
Wow that’s so kind of you, I’m really glad you liked it so much! I think it would need a lot more touching up and a bunch more levels for it to be a commercial release, but honestly the fact you enjoyed it and played it is enough for me :) thank you!
this is incredible, i love puzzle games (and hatsune miku LOL) so this is appealing directly to me. great work!!
It’s sad to admit but its not hatsune miku :( however now that you mention it I cant unsee it lmao FOR LEGAL PURPOSES THERE IS NO AFFILIATION WITH COPYRIGHTED CHARACTERS 😳🤣 but I’m glad you enjoyed it! thank you for playing :)
omg a web build no way, amazing wooooo. now that i can play this game like a normal human being lol, this game is incredible, the art is so cute and the music+sfx compliment everything really well. this game gets quite complicated and frantic later but holy crap is it fun racking up a combo and eliminating a bunch of germs at once. i don't think i've seen this puzzle gameplay specifically in another game before so massive kudos on the brilliant concept. awesome game!!
Haha yes we managed to get a working web build which were are very proud of, so i’m glad it is appreciated!! The fact you were able to play the game on your whole screen instead of the tiny preview view means everything worked out perfect lmaoooo thank you so much for coming back to play!
