The Cure by PinballJunior

--------------------------------------------------------THE CURE--------------------------------------------------------
The cure is a puzzle-sorting game where you have to create a cure for a disease. Sacrifice test subjects to find traits that kill the disease. You then use these traits to create a cure and save people from dying.
Each level contains "Rooms" each room has a number of traits. If a test subject can survive in a room, then one of the traits of the room killed of the disease. Using the process of elimination, you must find the trait which killed the disease. Use this trait to then create a cure.
Eventually the disease will gain more resistance to the cure and you must find ways of creating a more potent one. Using multiple traits in each cure is a requirement later on in the game.
Keep the world's population alive and make sure you don't kill too many test subjects...
Thanks for playing my second Ludum Dare game!

I really like the idea and level design. Basic set operations with a little coat. What a shame there's no random level generator!
It was a bit unclear how the multiple traits worked on one disease. I thought there needed to be both traits present to kill the desease, but eventually got it.
The theme is very nicely interpreted.
The music was bad, I muted it after a while.
The font didn't load for me and I was stuck with Times, which looked bad and messed up the layout...
I think the puzzles where you have to find a combination of traits are a bit confusing. At first I thought both traits had to be present in the room for the test subject to survive.
Otherwise the puzzles were well designed.
