Beneath The Boom Boom Boom by Almax27

[raw]
made by Almax27 for LD29 (JAM)
Didn't get as much time as I'd hoped this Ludum Dare, only 1.5 days, but still happy with what we managed to make :D

We struggled to avoid the elephant in the room in regards to the theme (digging) and settled on 'infection' or 'beneath the skin' as our interpretation.

You have the ability to influence the poor souls who host your disease by making them sneeze and pass it to others. But be careful, when a host sneezes their infection decreases. So carefully time them for maximum effect!

Glad you enjoyed it! We tried to avoid the more obvious interpretations of the theme and went for 'infection' or 'beneath the skin'. Perhaps we strayed a little too far? lol

Nothing to do with theme, but still a fun game. Very similar to the Infectonator series

Very dark theme. Was fun to play though was able to win by clicking randomly! But good job!

Cool mechanic. I liked the fast paced nature but it seems straddled between fast reflexes and logic puzzle in a way that left me a bit overwhelmed. Definitely love the style!
