An apothecary with a piggy bank that saves lives instead of money is here to save the world from the plague.


Instructions: Move with your mouse.


Touch the infected (green) patients to spend 1 life and heal them. When a healthy patient gets in touch with an infected one, the healthy patient will be infected, too.


You save the lives in the areas that are no longer infected. The game ends when you end a level with 0 life left.


The virus might mutate by chance in the following ways:


1. Insanity: Infected patients will lose their mind and run around incrementally faster.


2. Air transmission: The plague can be transmitted to healthy patients from a distance.


3. Corpse transmission: When a patient dies, it explodes and creates an area, and patients who go to that area will be infected.


Make sure you purchase essential upgrades with the lives you've saved.

Well, I got to level 268 before it crashed, I guess one of the infected patience wouldn't die, but wasn't on the map? Idk. But at about 4000 cost for the area I could just click next and my area was so large it would clear the map. Overall very entertaining but I felt my brain cells decaying as well. Would recommend

Very good ! The difficulty tend to decrease (upgrades are too strong) but it gives a good feeling.
I encounter a bug where I got stuck in the wall and coud only go up and down behind it. It seems some ill patient cross the wall too.

DSteppe responds:

Thanks for the feedback! It's probably because they're running too fast. I'm considering putting more restriction on the maximum speed.

Game is very fun, but at some point I was without lives at a greater level and all I could do is defend one healthy patient and wait for the infected ones to die. Maybe add that the level should lower a little if the user gets just one or two stars. Good job.
