Short description: 2020 browser-based video game

Bhag Corona is an online browser game created by independent developers Akram Tariq Khan and Anushree Warade, who are students at Xavier School of Management (XLRI).[1] Players play as an animated version of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, shooting down the COVID-19 virus using a sanitizer.[2][3] The simplistic gameplay draws inspiration from the 2013 video game Flappy Bird.[1] The game displays educational messages related to personal hygiene when the character misses the virus.[4]

The game was developed during the 21-day lockdown announced in India on 25 March 2020.[5][6] ShareChat, a regional social networking app, featured the game on their platform.[7][8]
