Loved the idea. The controls are a bit finicky though: clicking doesn't select what to pick up from the massive pile next to the machine, you just always pick up the closest thing, even if you're standing on top of it and can't see it. Then when you hold it, it's above your head and gets placed down where it "hovers" above your head, making it easy to lose items in the wall. I also think accidentally killed a patient by giving them the wrong organ because of this?
Also, not sure what happened at the end: I was slamming the button minigame and was suddenly thrown back to the start screen out of nowhere; I presume I lost somehow and clicked through that dialog? No idea or indication of when losing might have been a thing? Either way, it was fun.
Thanks for your feedback, absolutely agreed on the controls, it's something that was difficult to perfect under the time constraints but of course everyone is under time pressure! Also, we've been trying to fix bugs since the game jam including the accidental killing - the button minigame is prone to button-mashing which can accidentally kill the patient in the frame or two after the minigame window closes. Same thing with restart, we didn't have time to make a functional menu for that. Still, good to know that you liked the concept!
The fact that patients are dice is a bit funny, but it's pretty unfun to play because most of the time the machine don't give the right thing.
Yeah, it's difficult to make a game with randomness that feels fair to play all of the time. Maybe we should have tweaked the likelihood of certain organs coming from the machine to make it feel less unfair. Sorry you didn't enjoy...
Really cool game loved the art and animations, felt like a fully released and polished game, I love the color pallet and aesthetic too, Really good stuff and nicely done overall !! :D
Lol cool concept. Reminds me of Space Station 13
Music and graphics were nice! I liked the minigames and questions of morality i was faced with. Well done!
Loved the graphics and the music, very cool concept
Walking was slow and tedious, maybe mouse click to move and the guy runs there quickly? It felt like it could be even more hectic, I wanted to see more of the minigames. Very nice game! The artwork is fantastic!
Great graphics and minigames!
I liked the mini games! It took me a little while to figure out how to play but had a good time.
I love the presentation :P
Music absolutely bangs, stressful in the best way a game can be
Ty man
Great artwork and music with fun gameplay. Somehow managed to break the game but was very cool
This game is really cool and the gameplay is really fun
WOW. The art is AMAZING and the game is so fun!!
Thanks a lot! Your game is awesome too - left a positive review (:
Very original and creative - loved the artwork and the music which really builds up the tension and excitement!
Very polished, I like the concept and the art.
The minigames were cool! But it was too frustrating waiting for the right part without any control of it, maybe some system where you can trade some organs in for other types?
Thank you for the feedback - I've definitely shared that frustration playing the game! Trading organs sounds like a cool solution, or maybe tweaking the chance of organs spawning depending on the patients' needs? Definitely something for us to think about.
Pretty fun! I really liked the graphics and the game felt very clean and well done :)
starts off slow but ramps up to be actually pretty enjoyable!
