Hi!

I spent the first few weeks in lockdown learning how to code for games, and ended up making this little local multiplayer party game based on personal experience of being strapped to an infected man in a glass cage and being bombarded with bread, toilet paper, and soap.

If you, too, need practice escaping the loving embrace of potentially infected, and probably violent, friends, please consider adding this to your wishlist, or hold on for the upcoming giveaway once it's released in a week or so.

Would also love some ideas for new scenes to play in - so far there is a football field, a snowy landscape, Mars, a SpaceX-style booster landing pad called I am Still a Monkey, a discotheque (I collect obsolete words), and finally a rooftop based on a scene from The Room (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIfWMb3riN0).

The premise of the game is that you control two little guys using each analogue stick (or WASD and the arrows if you're a masochist), and have to both try to stay away from any infected people while also pushing your opponents to the middle so they get infected first. You can punch, you can cough, you can hoard toilet paper, but you must outlast your opponents to win.

The giveaway is public, so everyone can see it anyway.
In the future, I'd recommend an invite-only giveaway - that way only people who are interested (i.e. read this thread) will see and be able to enter the giveaway. Cuts down a little bit on people who just want a free game they'll never play.

Good luck with the game :)
