About Operation Covid-19
Please enjoy this virtual stressball for FREE while we keep going through this pandemic. This game is not meant to poke fun at the people suffering from the COVID-19 virus; it's meant to put a ''face'' on this virus and explode the shit out of it because that's exactly what it deserves. This project was inspired by one of the many stupid situations that resulted in the initial lockdown back in March. Most notably, the toilet paper hoarding (which already feels like ages ago). It's dumb, it's over the top and it's FUN. I may or may not keep adding new game mechanics as I'll eventually go back to set for film work.
There's also an ANDROID versus of the game that's very similar to the PC version and is also FREE. It's called OPERATION VIRUS.
My offer to send $10 to the first person that can reach 10 000XP still stands. Print screen proof and email at dan @ supernice.ca

Ever wanted to throw ridiculous amounts of toilet paper at giant viruses invading your home? Well here's your chance.
Operation COVID-19 is an endless first person shooter in which you can give those viruses what they deserve: blow them all up!
FAST PACEDWe made the game and even we can't keep up. You constantly have to be on the move in order to survive. Don't let your enemy surround you! Here are your survival strategies:
INFINITE TPUsing some quantum dynamics voodoo magic sh#t, the TP-Gun 1000™ can generate an unlimited amount of TP projectiles. Watch that overheat bar though! Once the weapon jams, you'll be deep in it. Should this happen, use the next strategy.
PUSH FORCEWhen everything goes south, use the TP-Gun 1000™'s secondary function: the Push Force. For a second, the generated force field will push away any viruses trying to infect you and give you a short moment to catch your breath. Jedi style!
POWER JUMPWait, what? There's more? Of course! When there are too many of them, activate the Power Jump function and the TP-1000 Gun™ will reverse gravity for you. That way, you can make it rain TP rolls from above and get rid of more dumb viruses.
COMBINE EVERYTHING. LOOK COOL AF.The gif is pretty self-explanatory.
Happy hunting.
FROM THE DEVELOPER
Hey! Thanks for checking out my first game. I made this alone while in quarantine by teaching myself game logic in Unreal Engine 4 with YouTube tutorials. It started out as a simple gag to make my kids laugh and it devolved (evolved?) into what you see now in all it's 1980s fueled glory. I really hope you'll enjoy what I put together and for 1$ I think you'll have your money's worth out of it. Next step will be to implement the Steam Achievements in a future update and hopefully many more features!
You rock.

Operation Covid-19 is a small, deliberately absurd first-person shooter that captures the strange atmosphere of the early COVID-19 era by turning pandemic anxieties into an arcade survival game. Developed and published by Supernice, the project was created by solo developer Dan Gaud during quarantine and released in June 2020. Rather than presenting the pandemic realistically, it uses exaggerated humor as its foundation, placing players inside a house that has been invaded by enormous viruses. The solution is appropriately ridiculous: eliminate the infection with a weapon that fires toilet paper. The concept is closely tied to the period in which the game was made. Toilet paper became one of the most recognizable symbols of early pandemic panic buying, so transforming it into ammunition gives Operation Covid-19 an unmistakably topical identity. The developer explains that the game was intended as a humorous outlet for pandemic-related frustration rather than an attempt to mock people who suffered because of the disease. This approach gives the game the feeling of a time capsule, preserving some of the bizarre cultural memories associated with lockdowns through an intentionally sil…1 found this helpful

Игра "Operation Covid-19" – это весьма своеобразный и, пожалуй, спорный симулятор борьбы с пандемией. Главная цель – сдержать распространение вируса, управлять ресурсами, разрабатывать вакцину и следить за экономикой. Геймплей, в целом, достаточно простой, но местами утомительный. Вам предстоит принимать решения касательно карантинных мер, финансировать здравоохранение и бороться с дезинформацией. Графика в игре крайне минималистична, что, вероятно, было сделано намеренно, чтобы подчеркнуть серьезность темы. Однако, отсутствие визуального разнообразия быстро утомляет. С другой стороны, игра пытается моделировать сложные социально-экономические процессы, и в этом плане похвально, что она поднимает вопросы этики и баланса между здоровьем населения и экономическим благополучием. В целом, "Operation Covid-19" – игра на любителя. Если вы интересуетесь стратегиями и готовы мириться с упрощенной графикой, то можете найти в ней что-то интересное. Но если вы ищете динамичный и увлекательный геймплей, то, скорее всего, будете разочарованы. Игра скорее познавательная, чем развлекательная.
This game is simple and fun, with a good theme, charming graphics and tight controls. If you're in the mood for a basic high score based shooter, then this is worth your consideration.
The walking and shaking the screen hurts my eyes and head. The game is a bit too dark even with the picture edits. Got sick of game play after 1st death. I got to them blue ballz :P
