That was fun. It reminds me a lot of those "Chain Reaction" Flash games from back in the day. The visuals are very nice.
I encountered a couple things that I weren't sure whether they were bugs or just things I didn't understand. For example, I sometimes saw red dots (i.e. infected) moving around that didn't have the infection area of effect around them- were they just citizens who were like 98% of the way to being infected, but not yet completely infected? I also remember once seeing a splitter split into one infected and one ordinary citizen.
I agree that it seems a little luck-based, especially with what upgrades you receive, since some of them only help you, while others both help and hurt you.
Solid entry! I really liked the simple-but-polished visuals and audio and the various upgrades and variations you can apply to the simulation as you play.
As others have stated, there's a bit of luck involved, especially in the first few minutes. I ended up getting my whole population killed too quickly until I got a good run.
Good work for 72 hours and a small team!

Its a cool game, though I think past a certain point it becomes a bit impossible to lose. I had to leave the game alone for 5 minutes to let it eventually run out on its own, but if I was still using all the upgrades, theres no way I could have lost.
