Don't Open. COVID OutsideMade for the Quarantine Jam 2020. This is a 2D pixel art top-down bullet hell arcade videogame in which you play as a medic who has found the cure for the COVID-19 and has to give it to the infected people without getting infected himself. #Don'tStayAtHome!While everyone is locked on quarantine, a rogue medical researcher has found the cure to the fiendish virus. But there's no healthy human left to give the cure. No military, no politician, no one. Only him with the cure. Take your weapon, face your fearAs the only scientist left, of course he has to be a genius. He managed to take a rifle and adapt it so that it can shoot syringes filled with the cure for the disease. This way, he just have to literally shoot the medicine to the infected to heal them, without any need of going near them. But he still has to be carefull: their breath is infected too. InstructionsMove the character using the WASD Keys on your Keyboard or the LEft Stick on your Controller, aim with the mouse or the Right Stick and shoot with the left mouse button or the Right Trigger. Use the right button on your mouse or the Left Trigger to drop a granade. You can also pause the game with the Escape button on your Keyboard or the Start button on your Controller. Mask filterOf course, as a medic you have access to a professional filtered mask. It can actually prevent you from getting infected. But there's a catch: the filters don't last forever. Every hit you get will damage the used filter until it will become useless. The filter can take up to two hits, the third and last one will infect you. But don't worry! Of course you can still find new filters around! I'm pretty sure that some of those infected actually got them before getting ill, so maybe if you heal them they will leave them behind for you. Keep an eye on your mask filter condition and be sure to take a new one if it's too damaged. Syringes packThis is exactly what it seems: a pack of syringes. They're basically your ammunitions, so be sure to get them whenever you see them in the field to reload your rifle. Be careful not to finish them: without your shots you're helpless against the virus. Cure grenadesI understand why you decided that a rifle was better than... this. I mean, maybe it's still a bit too much, but I think that you're some kind of The Walking Dead fanboy, are you? In any case, the rifle wasn't exactly your first choice. The cure grenade was. Grenades filled with the cure for the virus. And you wanted to bomb the entire world with them. Do you also like Michael Bay, besides The Walking Dead? In any case, you actually crafted them in the end, and though they're not exactly... conventional, they can reaaally come in handy when you're surrounded. If you see one of these grenades somehow laying around the battlefield, take them. You can then throw them with the right button on your Mouse or the Left Trigger on your Controller. They should deal one... heal damage to "every infected on the screen". That's what the instructions say anyway. Whatever it means. Don't take this mission too seriouslyThis game is made by an italian developer as a parody to try and lower the tension made by the COVID-19 pandemic and the following quarantine. It's not meant to be taken seriously. Now some really serious stuffThis game will be published on Itch for the Quarantine Jam. It is going to be completely free to play, no donation required. However, since humanity is facing one of its biggest challenge of the third millennium, I ask you to donate for a charity that is actually fighting the COVID-19. So that we can really win.
