Bacteria Wipeout

The approved and updated version of my previously mentioned proposed flash game.

Name of flash game: Bacteria Wipeout

1) What is the game idea about?
You are a mouthwash agent. Your owner decided to use you to kill bacteria residing in the mouth. You are tasked with clearing all bacteria. You start off at one end of the gum and navigate through the teeth to reach the other end.

2) Why do players want to play your game? What is the unique selling point?
It features a time based event. After a minute of gameplay, an icon would be displayed showing that the event is ready. Once you click on the button, the game will paused and three facedown cards will appear. Selecting either one of them will trigger an effect, the effect can be a positive or negative effect temporary. This is unique compared to most other games which uses a checkpoint reward system. The countdown for the event will start again when you have selected your card.
