Germaphobe

Global Game Jam 2026 submission

Team Git Gud Presents.... GERMAPHOBE!   

Try to survive as a swarm of endless germs cascades your way. With only a Mask to save you, these microscopic monsters will not give up until you do. Your powerful sneeze is your only secret power. Beware of EbolaX - Vicious and deadly, he will hunt you with a fury, until you and only you take him out.  

The 2026 Global Game Jam's theme, MASK, became an intricate part of what makes Germaphobe different from the rest. Using a Mask, instead of a paddle, changes the game play. As the ball, or in this case Pill,  strike the mask, it changes shape.  Offering new challenges and ways to control the ball. Then - Sneeze!  You're back to a new Mask!
