Bhag Corona

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 animted version of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, shooting down the COVID-19 virus using sanitizer.[2][3] The simplistic gameplay draws inspiration from the 2013 video game Flappy Bird,[1] and the background score features 'Go Corona, Corona Go' chant attributed to Indian Union Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment Ramdas Athawale.[4] The game displays personal hygiene educational messages when the character misses the virus.[5]

The game was developed during the 21-day lockdown announced in India on 25 March 2020.[6][7] ShareChat, a regional social networking app, featured the game on their platform.[8][9]
