  Covid-19 has been causing severe loss to the human race. Considering the mode
of spread and severity, it is essential to make it a habit to follow various
safety precautions such as using sanitizers and masks and maintaining social
distancing to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Individuals are widely educated
about the safety measures against the disease through various modes such as
announcements through online or physical awareness campaigns, advertisements in
the media and so on. The younger generations today spend considerably more time
on mobile phones and games. However, there are very few applications or games
aimed to help in practicing safety measures against a pandemic, which is much
lesser in the case of Covid-19. Hence, we propose a 2D survival-based game,
SurviveCovid-19, aimed to educate people about safety precautions to be taken
for Covid-19 outside their homes by incorporating social distancing and usage
of masks and sanitizers in the game. SurviveCovid-19 has been designed as an
Android-based mobile game, along with a desktop (browser) version, and has been
evaluated through a remote quantitative user survey, with 30 volunteers using
the questionnaire based on the MEEGA+ model. The survey results are promising,
with all the survey questions having a mean value greater than 3.5. The game's
quality factor was 69.3, indicating that the game could be classified as
excellent quality, according to the MEEGA+ model.
