Hello there,

First thank you for playing !
Since you finished the game and added feedbacks on your journey, I had to at least reward you in some way.
So here you go ;)

Thank you. I remember sharing with my wife how people tend to press the LIKE button as QUICK ANSWER, when the POST to them causes noticeable TIME to think of an answer. I observed that I have learned to opt to write an answer if I classify the POST as a question or shall need an answer for clarity. Health!

I like this! Just needs more levels

Developer

Thank you !

I will add some for sure. And make them super stressful :P

I was confused at first but then I saw one of the comments mention the pattern has to be big and then I couldn't manage to get past the second swirl pattern. I tried for a long time, but I just couldn't get it.

Developer

Thank you for trying !
I know it can be frustating for the moment.

As a general tips what really matters is the general shape so the number of edges and each corner.
Also avoid to draw too slowly.

I got so excited when I saw that this was a Trauma Center inspired game! You did a great job with it, the tutorial was nice, I only wish it would talk more about the exact location or size for the suture since like other people I got stuck at the П one but eventually managed to consistently do it when I drew it really big. I am sure you had other ideas and for gameplay and polish but there wasn't enough time to add them which is understandable.

Was quite cute, lovely and would be even better if you decide to add more levels and variety later on. Well done :)

I find fox as cute as cats so coming from one I greatly appreciate the feedback !

Yeah, I really tried to squeeze my idea of doing a Trauma Center prototype into this jam, haha ! (which, by the way was one of my favorite game on Nintendo DS. <3)
But now that I have a baseline and feedbacks, I will bug fix it and polish a bit just to have something to remind me good old time on that type of game ;)

But enough about me and my memories, thank you for playing and leaving a feedback. Really appreciate !

This had me very confused at first. I did follow the pattern and drew on a spot, but it didn't work.

I didn't realize that the draw area is the whole body, and the pattern has to be big.

The game is also a little short, but nice work anyway.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback.
Yeah, It make more sense to fix injuries by drawing on top of it. :)
I will add more levels and a quick patch for that when the rating is over. 🤞

Cool project!

Developer

Thank you !

I liked the kitties and the banter was fun but I feel like the wounds should have more effect on gameplay like drawing the shape of the wound or draw the shape on the left on the wound.

Developer(+1)

You're absolutely right. That's what is missing right now.
And some other juicy effects to make the experience a little bit stressful and really feel you have a cat's life in your paws (kind of) !

Hello! It's an interesting idea with gesture detection, but I am failing with П gesture, is it size of direction dependent?

I like an idea of a game, cat surgeonary is an important thing! Good work!

Developer

Thank you for playing it  ! 

Right now it is "space dependant". But the term "size" could work too.
Meaning, when you draw a shape X, I simplify it and only study the points remaining of that shape against a pattern Y in it's space representation. I compute a score which is only distance between each points and compare it to a threshold hardcoded.

But this technique isn't optimal like you have guessed. I will do something better after when the rating is over and that I have a little time to spare.

Hey there!

I found it really hard to go through the tutorial operation, as for some reason no matter how precise my hands tried to be, i always seemed to fail the second Π pattern.

Other than that the game is really beautiful and the theme was nicely implemented, so good job on that! Moreover a cat vet seems very fun!

Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to play and comment about it. :)

Yeah I tried to warn player with the little speech to not make symbols too big or too small and to respect the proportion of the pattern. It's what really matters. Sorry for the frustration. I will patch that in the next version for sure.

Very fun, just a bit short

Developer

Thank you for playing it! :)

Sadly I got caught by time by I plan on adding some when the rating phase is over.
