Down with the Sickness

Medical-themed jam game exploring infection mechanics.

About This Project

Down with the Sickness was created for Global Game Jam 2018. Players use a syringe to spread infection while avoiding capture by the CDC. I worked on implementing unique mechanics under a 48-hour jam deadline.

Key Achievements

  • Experimented with socially-aware gameplay mechanics
  • Built functional prototype under 48-hour jam constraints
  • Explored novel infection/avoidance design loop
