OUTBREAK OPS: SDG 3 INITIATIVE

Deploy Vaccines. Neutralize the Threat. Save the Future.

"YEAR 2099. A mysterious pathogen has emerged in the metropolitan sector. Intelligence suggests a deliberate biological attack. Your Mission: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all."

Outbreak Ops is a fast-paced, top-down arcade shooter with a twist: You don't shoot to kill—you shoot to heal.

Inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being), you play as an elite Health Agent deployed into the heart of a digital pandemic. Armed with a high-tech vaccine emitter, you must purge the virus, save infected citizens, and defeat the source of the outbreak.

🧬 GAME FEATURES

• The "Shoot-to-Heal" Mechanic: Enemies aren't monsters to be destroyed; they are victims to be saved. Blast them with vaccines to cure them and return them to safety.
• 3 Playable Classes:
  • The Medic: Balanced speed and health. The backbone of the operation.
  • The Heavy: High health armor, slower movement. Built to withstand the horde.

• 3 Escalating Sectors:
  • Sector 1: Contain the initial outbreak in the City.
  • Sector 2: Survive "The Hive" where the virus has become volatile and fast.
  • Sector 3: Ground Zero. Face off against the tank-like mutations and the massive Patient Zero boss.

🌍 ABOUT THE PROJECT

This game was created to raise awareness for SDG 3. In a world facing constant health challenges, universal health coverage and rapid response are more important than ever.
