Made for Global Game Jam 2026
Itch has the most recent version of the game, with music and sounds added that we didn't have time to include during the jam, along with some minor fixes.

If you would like to see the original submission, with more problems... and no sound at all... you can find the executable here: https://globalgamejam.org/games/2026/plague-hunter-2

There are still some unresolved issues! You might encounter visual bugs and performance problems...
Menus are still non-existent... there’s no built-in tutorial... the game has no ending... no point system... whoopsie... but it's still fun!

If you enjoy it, let us know! And if you don't, tell us why!
Feedback is always welcome!
