I created this game in 48 hours for the 2019 TT Games game jam using the wonderful Pico-8 "fantasy console". I believe the theme was "medieval" or something!

You play as Bubonic Plague and must transfer yourself to a new rat before your current one dies. Score points by biting villagers (just touch them with your nose) to infect and kill them before they get chance to kill your rat! Watch out for the Plague Doctor running around trying to heal everyone, and beware the poison traps!

PC controls: z, x and arrow keys
