This actually reminds me of Limbo, which I've enjoyed quite a lot.very good idea devs! The only drawback i can find is the right controller. Please add an option to move it. I can't go left guys!! My finger always gets outside of the screen. When this will be fixed, the game will get the awesome 5 stars it deserves!

For a game that has been made to raise awareness about Malaria, it's really well done! Great Limbo-like visual style, nice hand drawn intense cutscenes and good level design. Joystick controls for movement may not seem like the best choice, but they help in doing small movements, something that gets crucial if you are gonna go completitionist and get all the collectibles. No ads whatsoever, they only ask you (in a not intrusive way) if you want to donate $3 to buy someone in need a special mosquito net :)

I love the gameplay; very simple and easy to move about. I like the dark sounds and the designs on the game; it sure makes me wanna help for the fight against malaria. It's difficult to find a unique game to enjoy. Very nice job on this, and the small story that came with it!

This is the best game I've played in a while. It delivers the message that malaria is still a big problem in a very good way and all the developer asks is that you donate so that mosquito nets can be given to those who need them and did I mention that the game is free not freemium free as in no ads no transactions free

Amazing game! 1st of all, I LOVE the graphics. Second, it's a really cool game, can keep someone occupied for a while. it's really fun and I like the concept of the malaria thing. What I don't understand is why the little girl is in the blood/brain, shouldn't it be the malaria spreading throughout the girls body? Or is the girl the malaria? That part kind of confused me. But I love this game, great job creating it! Definitely worth downloading.

This is probably one of the most interesting, weirdest, and of course, scariest games I've played. I understand how it's rated 18+ since there's ALOT of blood as your surroundings...It's a BIT disgusting, in my opinion. Because there's like, i don't know, these things you bounce on...but if your 18+, I am very sure, that you would have absolutely no problem with this game...

It is extremely difficult to do anything, let alone jumping. I just keep dying over and over to read the facts. There should be a section for them. Not worth playing. This game has great graphics and facts.

Not even close to limbo as reviewed by other user....! Need better controls (floating slider is required than that, what is included in this game). Dn't know if it's with only me, but i can't save more than 2 bears/teddy in any level.....!¡¡¡

Z70%
by Z####:

I literally just got through the first level and loved it. Then it prompted me with a question to pay $3 for a net and hit the donate button. I came back to read the description and love this game even more. You get a super creepy game and a way to help people.

I'm not sure the medical validity of removing teddy bears from a girl's blood stream is going to cure her malaria. The teddy bears are keeping her alive! Still a cool game and I like that it supports a cause rather than being filled by ads.

One minute its fairy's and Bunny's the over minute its all huge mosquitoes and brainny places where huge mosquitoes dig their nose into a poor little girl rah

This is sick. You think this is a game to entertain your self. No. This is real every time you die kids,moms,dads,humans just like you and me are dieing. Have a heart.

P70%
by P####:

A legitimately a good game! Very well crafted and the style reminds me a lot of Limbo. My only gripe is that is is essentially a huge PSA. For what you get though, it is a small complaint.

J70%
by J####:

Main quality of this game is that it is quite educational so I love this game a lot. Graphics are extremely amazing and I loved the Brain section a lot, Controls are perfect God bless you devs and Keep it up devs

Z70%
by Z####:

While I like the charity exposure here, the game is -- though well put together -- off-puttingly creepy. The controls are very unresponsive, which is a bigger problem. Finally, as others have said, the post level donation beg -- while understandable -- gets irritating very quickly.

Z70%
by Z####:

I love the concept of this game. I don't get that intense 'shove a world issue into your face' feeling at all while playing. This game slowly gives you a glimpse into the malaria dilemma without disgusting you with extreme facts and details. I recommend playing this game away from most noise and visual distractions to get the most out of the experience. Developers* Your game doesn't have a way to exit the game and the back button on my phone doesn't respond. If fixed I'll change to 5 stars. HTC LTE

I'm glad that people do care about those that have the sickness. And I personally hope that it would be that easy to get rid of malaria, but it's not so I hope and give all my attention to those who do have malaria.

Z70%
by Z####:

You can't even avoid the mosquitos, forcing you to basically buy the game even though it's"free".I know it's sad but you can't really get it if you don't have a credit card,that's why you get FREE games.

B70%
by B####:

It makes me feel like a horrible human being by not donating to malaria. Also the facts make it depressing to play. And the physics are awkward

Z70%
by Z####:

My phone crashes when trying to play the game at all. I run the game and my phone freezes up and turns off. Fix and you can have five stars.

The bugs scare the crap out of me. I hate the scary music. And those messages about people DYING?! Geez, try to find a better way to warn people about this creepy disease!

Q70%
by Q####:

I think it's a noble cause to create a game that helps with malaria, it is a serious infection. Im uninstalling due to the blantant, asking for donations after every single level. Add a single button where if people want to donate they can there. This game is nice for children its very simple and slow. You rescue teddy bears while avoiding the baddies that will kill you. You only get 1 life. Cute graphics, i enjoyed them. Great idea though nice job.

A70%
by A####:

I like the fact that this game raises people's awareness not only when it comes to the dangers of malaria, but also its prevention. It also presents a way for us to contribute/donate against the sickness, which I don't mind at all as it's for a good cause. When it comes to the gameplay itself, touch navigation isn't that good but the game design is eerily captivating. The start animation was also very well done. It would be nicer though if Google+ integration is added in the future.

This is the best way to advertise a cause! Make a game about it! The creepy vibe made me realize how serious malaria really is. I think all charities should do something like this. I bet it won't beat your fluid animations and stunning graphics, though.

The Game looks cool. But when I started the game to level 1 all I see is nothing. Then my Tablet got hanged. But its okay. I'll reinstall it and when it works I'll give you 5 stars

U should play this game..........a little scary...........a little darker.......i have phobia with blood but still i love it...... Awesome game

P70%
by P####:

The graphic is very nice and the content in game give me knowledge about malaria. But that difficult to control character.

P70%
by P####:

The controls need a lot of work. More games like this need to be out there, sending awareness etc. Good art work as well. No annoying ads either.

K70%

Its very creepy but interesting and its helping kids and grownups with malaria and helps teach to prevent it not many games actually try to help with sick or disease but this does good work

I love it! But it's really creepy and very scary. I really hope it can be scarier, but that's ok. Anyway I recommend this game who likes creepy scary games

I really like this game because it really shows how they affect you and how it hurts, it made me cry so sad! But its pretty hard to get though the levels so BE PREPARED. i do highly reccomend it!

Although the game is rather repetitive at first, it delivers a very important message. The game is not only amusing and intense to play but is raising awareness for this horrifying disease. The graphis are amazing and the music is eerie and can almost be thought of as scary. I think that this makes the game fun to play but also allows you to remember the terrifying disease that exists to this day. I recommend you play this game with headphones to really become involved with the danger that surrounds this young child.

Y70%
by Y####:

No words can express how horrible a plague it is...but do you think if you harangue people for "donations" and bombard them with terrible statistics every 45 seconds that's going to help your cause? And while this grim farce of a game is burning my fingers from heating up my phone? (What kind of resource hog IS this, anyway?) Gameplay is repetitive, like playing 1 level over and over again. Graphics are cool, but with the aforementioned problems, doesn't make me want to play OR donate. Just makes me itchy.

I love this game, the whole idea behind it is really cool. I think the art stule is really cool and I think it is a unique twist on a platformer type game. Haven't finishes yet bit I am really enjoying it.

Recently I had malaria and somehow this game just attracted me. I'd like to thank you all that came with such an idea and of course realize it. It's dark theme, simplicity, sound and everything makes it very, very, very enjoyable!!
