In Sick!: Virus Busters you play a nanobot pill that must navigate the patient’s arteries and destroy any virus cells. However, your nanobot pill has limited memory space and so it can only use a certain number of abilities at a time. You must navigate the body while disabling and enabling different systems to fight off the infection. Most abilities cost (1) Memory space but others may require you to disable more systems before you can enable them.

Be careful, as colliding with or attacking blood cells will do more damage to the body. You will need to aim carefully to ensure you only eliminate the virus itself.

Controls: 

WASD - Move 

QE - Rotate

Space/F - Fire

You can also hold shift and press one of the above keys to disable/enable those systems as well. Otherwise, you can do so by clicking on the system’s name.

Sick!: Virus Busters is a submission to Ludum Dare 54. The theme was "Limited Space" which we played off of by confining the player in a very small play space, but also making the player have a limited amount of memory space for abilities so that the player has to disable some abilities to enable others.
