The game is great. The concept and the way the game goes works perfect, but there needs to be some improvement and clarity in it. For the first time I played it, it was quite confusing until I had to play it over and over until I figure out the way the game works. In which the way the game works, it is quite confusing too as many of the controls such as the "medicine" action doesn't make much sense when you figure it would be the cure for the disease. The other thing is that the game can get repetitive and boring after a while. You need to clarify the instructions and the action in the game and then create some more for it.
It's a good game but really confusing to play
