FriendlyFaceLand
Controls: WASD, Space, Mouse(drag)
Necessary explanations: You are in town. there is an infection! it transmits through touch! It seems a few town face-personas are infected! First stages of a disease are undetectable. Golden apples cure disease if you eat them, (and for others - touch is enough). There's no win condition (I didn't manage to implement 50% of the idea in time), if you want, just mess around for a minute and write an angry comment!
ExtraJam2020! This is the most precise and meticulous simulation of societal interaction contemporarily available. Explore this Endless world, visit places, participate in philosophical dialogue, eat things (with Space, looney)! But be ware! A disease is in the city! And you have the chance to save it. (I don't think it's Actually possible, of course). Find the cure and save Friendly Face Town.
Made by 1 p, 72 h, plain js (ts), used my old collision detection class.
;tldr I wasted all my time on making an open world open and infinite. DO NOT DO THIS! or maybe do do this, try wierdies. bye.

Didn't get why should i eat (does it heal me completely?) or how to cure others, but holding space in a bunch of yellow circles & flying fast through the map while listening to this music is actually relaxing. Also I made my game using plane js too (and a bit of electron (and html)), so I appreciate your work!
Well... Its definitely interesting to say the least(not in a bad way). You have a lot of explaining to do.. or maybe not? I didn't quite know what was happening, especially the bouncing around mechanic( am I sneezing?).
It felt like some sort of obscure, non-sense dream you have when you doze off during the day, with the music supporting this (quite a good soundtrack). Consider explaining how the theme applies to your game. It wasn't easily evident, atleast for me.
The game sort of crashed after a few minutes of exploring because I probably went out of bounds or created too many physics objects.
I don't know if this is some sort of accident or something you were going for but I can definitely say that if you improved your art a bit more, people will definitely be more inclined to play it.
Also, add some screenshots to your game page and play around with the theme a bit more. Good effort!
Thx! This is what I needed :).
Actually there is an infection mechanic that is seems to be really poorly conveyed to the player: Any facebeing can be infected and it is undetectable on the first stages, and shows as color-changing coughing on late stages. At last victim begins to cough out his eyes. It can be cured by golden apples. At the beginning some people in "town" are infected and you theoretically could try to cure them before chaos breaks loose.
Ah, I see. And the cluster of connected nodes is the virus?
No offense but I thought it was an acid trip game especially when I lost my eyes and saw it floating around somewhere and the strange dialogue (which I honestly liked to some extent). Looking back now, it makes a whole lot more sense ^ _ ^.
