Ludum Dare #29 is over
…and I actually finished a game! Didn’t really think I’d make it but here we are. Yay!
My game is called BactoCo and in it you play as a disease. Your objective is to get the CEO of a company ill (I’ve no idea why). You inhabit one host at a time, and have to cause symptoms to them in order to manipulate their movement and get closer to the CEO. The game’s entirely mouse-driven and I also managed to port it to flash! Huge thanks to Adam “Sketchy” Hawker for creating an A* pathfinding tutorial for MMF 2!
Preview and play the game on the Ludum Dare site!

Awesome game! Would love to see it expanded. I can imagine having several diseases to choose from, with different mechanics, many different symptoms for each… Non-human carriers such as birds and insects… and a soundtrack with little sick acid squelches here and there. The mind reels.
Yeah, I guess the game could be rather easily expanded into a larger game with more puzzles and a story… I guess I’ve got to keep that in mind. Thanks for the compliments :)
Have not been able to find out how to switch the disease carrier. :/
Pause the game while another person is near the host, a red target should appear; clicking it changes the host.
