You friends told you not to come as they didn't want to get ill.\r\n\r\nScrew that! You're gonna go and you're gonna infect as many of your friends as possible to get your own back.\r\n\r\nControls are in the game but for reference W, A, S, D or the Arrow keys, and Space to sneeze, C to cough and T to touch. \r\n\r\nThere is a cooldown on how often you can sneeze, cough or touch dependant on how severe an affect it is has on the children. There are bars that appear while the cooldown is occurring, they are a little hard to see.\r\n\r\nThe game was made in Game Maker with Photoshop and my voice along with Bfxr\r\nI shall hopefully be uploading a web version shortly.","title":"Birfday Pardy: And I'll wreck it if I want to!"}
