You have to test all of the medications but you're "out of control" groups. You'll have to use deductive reasoning instead. Also it's nuts.

This is fantastic, really cute little logic puzzle that did get me a bit confused how to solve it at first but after a few tries I got it! Unlike a lot of jam games that often would be improved with some tweaking or some extra features, I think this one is genuinely perfect as it is :)

Hijack HelplineGreat idea, really well done! I took my time to solve the puzzle using pen and paper ;P

100 Enemies || GMTK Jam 2020That was great! It wasn't too hard to figure out the solution, and the animations and audio made this hilarious. I was confused at first with the Donatello symptom, thinking it must be the name of some disease I had never heard of before, and then I saw the animation and burst out laughing when it made sense.

Recurse Robotics, Inc.I very much like this one! It has a lot going for it presentation-wise.

Monster Soup GMTKAwesome game, had to bring out pen and paper and think out the optimal strategy, would play again.
It has a very polished feel to it, everything seems intentional and well thought - probably the best scope realization of the idea I've seen so far (I don't know if you had to cut anything out, but it doesn't feel like you did, so good job). The only issue I've found is that the "potions" for the side effects needs to be added in order, which means that you need to write stuff down if you've figured out "Donutello" before "Death".
Anyway, what medication can I take to get Donutello as side (or main) effect? :D

Terminal HellocityWe actually did have to cut some deeper puzzle mechanics and additional levels. We originally wanted some side effects to "conflict" with each other and not present if they were combined in the same subject, making things significantly trickier.
100% agree with it having been better to be able to guess the answers in any order you want. We tried, but there just wasn't enough time to implement that, even though it would only be slightly more sophisticated than what we have. We went right down to the wire on this one.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment!
Really polished experience! But felt it was a bit too short. Actually spent more time enjoying the visuals and audio then playing the game. Was great nevertheless, would love to see more.

My Micro AddictionThis game is like a riddle, a fantastic brain tease, however once you have the plan down, there's no repeatability. There's an optimum strategy to beating regardless of what symptoms your stuff gives, you just gotta be clever about it, and I love that about this game :)
