Very cool game. I'd love to see it be finished someday.

Neat game. In my first run the patients suddenly stopped rolling in. But in the second one a lot were brought. The cure mixing could be a mini-game in something bigger. On its own, at least for me, its a mechanic that gets quite repetitive very fast.

Great game! There are some bugs, like not getting money when you save a character. Also, sometimes patients are not showing up after a while

I liked the art style.

When adding the different ingredients, I was confused for a while wen it just dropped the ingredients down. Some music or sounds could have been nice too. At some point the patients stopped coming and I couldn't buy anything.

This is amazing. I can't believe you made this in 10 days. Sadly I didn't get to go far in the gameplay loop as after I saved someone the counter didn't go up and I got a game over. Otherwise AMAZING artwork and idea.

Art style I LOVE!
When I had saved 12 people patients just stopped coming.
A couple of things I would like to see improved is a proper indication on the minigame where to place the ingredients, they often just kept falling for me, or just make the collider larger.
Some music at least and even better some sound effects :D.

This has potential and is one of the better games I have played so far in the Jam. Keep up the work.

Note: For future players, mask should be $10 and syringe should be $20. I have seen a bug though where the saved and money counts cap out at 7 and $14-ish. Current plan is to fix all the bugs and re-upload after the jam is over :)

The game mechanic is really fun and fits so well.  I like your choice of ingredients.  The art though, is the big stand out here.  The character/object design, palette and animations are great.  It was so fun and interesting to look at.

I love the art style and interpretation of the theme! My only complaint is what someone else pointed out already that you can't see the shop prices.

Amazing game!

Would be nice to have some sound, visible indicator about the patient health when cooking and better feedback when placing ingredients or making mistakes. It was confusing when placing an item it just felt down.
