One of my favorite games from the jam. Congrats for the great result! 🎉🎉
Very cool idea and very well implemented!
Feels very good to play :)
Wow. Really impressive! Original gameplay, beautiful presentation and very funny story.
The solid mechanics works surprisingly well. Could very well have been a mainstream hit in the 80s.
I escaped!
Wow. Just 48 hours? Awesome! Interesting mechanic and very fun and fitting music. The explosions appear, in my opinion, a bit too often and get annoying overtime. Other than that: Very good work, especially for this short amount of time!
Never felt more satisfied blowing up nurses and doctors.
Super unique mechanic, and the way the theme was worked in? Very clever. It’s fun, challenging, and the level progression feels really natural. Also the visuals looked super clean.
really interesting mechanic XD
it's fun to strategize the explosion timing XD
the robot seems really hard to kill but it's fun to try to avoid them XD
Wow, I had so much fun playing this game, and the idea with the exploding heart is just brilliant!!!
That was so chaotic and fun in the same way. Wish the exploding sound was less loud, but still game is good!
This game's premise is super clever! The idea of running away from the doctors is made so much more intense with the heartbeat, slowly ticking away, genius. The game feels free flowing, but also does require you to think about your steps and choose carefully. I love the nurses throwing syringes out as projectiles, those are my favorite enemy.
The robots were fun too, totally caught me off guard the first few times when my health melted away. Really great music loop too its catchy! I think the scale of progression was great too, new challenges showed up at the right time and kept me learning. That alongside the clean art and color palette made for a great retro feel. Super great job I really enjoyed playing!
really fun game
Nice game! You nailed the theme I would say and I really had fun playing it
Pretty awesome game there! Has got to be the most unique take on the theme I've seen yet, as far as the gameplay goes anyway. Super fun, art style is charming and honestly if this was a full-fledged game I could see myself enjoying it pretty well. Great tutorialization as well, quickly figured out what I was doing.
Really funny and fun concept. Took me a little getting used to but I loved it
