Nice concept. I lived for -21 years :)
A cool concept and it is really hard to remember all the bacteria. Also I am really afraid of cancer bacteria now :scream: Untitled.png
I liver for -480 years, maybe something you want to fix. I took a while for me to get the concept, but overall a solid game.
It could be a great educational game: you must play several times to learn whick agents are healty and which are not. Second game I reach 17 years old ^^ (I had some lucky deciding).
Greetings!
I like the look of this game! The gameplay was a bit hard to get the hang of, eventually I got to 29 years though
I love all the detail in the different viruses & bacteria, but the core mechanic is hard to understand. Do I slam into them by clicking towards them or do I click the opposite direction and then come back? Also living negative amounts of years is kinda dumb :)
All the bacteria looked terrifying. I wanted to fight them all! Cool game concept. Well done.
@diesdas Thanks for playing! You slam them by doing any movement really, either by going towards them or on your way back, if you hit them while moving they are gone. And i agree that living negative years is dumb! I believe it is supposed to say that you are not even born then! :laughing:
Hi! I like the idea of the game, though I must admit I didn't understand what I had to do on my first try. It wasn't really, especially duo to the fact that it is slooooow as hell, and it felt like the death was pretty random. But, it really isn't far from being a pretty cool game, just need some more balance and feedbacks! Good job :)
I enjoyed playing it. (More than playing my own :P) Great "enemy design". And I laughed a lot when it told me that I lived for -8 years and haven't even lived, therefore I should try again. :D
It's really heavy to get syphillis when you are 142 ^.^ Very cool concept, and a creative title. My ocd forces me to attack all spikey ones though. :D
Fun Game. I like the way the heart moved, and rubber-banded back.
I couldn't see the 3d elements in Chrome Version 73.0.3683.103 (Official Build) (64-bit). It worked for me in FireFox.
@gideon 142?! Thats more than my record! :laughing: Thanks for playing!
@pincushion Thanks for playing! This is quite odd, the bug you encountered, i may have to look into it.
Negative years? I wasn't even born :D I think the bacteria slowing down when they get close is kinda annoying, they should move faster.
Interesting and fun game, a bit hard to recognize and memorize them, but the game is fast enough that trying again isn't so bad
A Nice game
I think I'm not so good as a heart. Hope my heart is better than me... By the way game has really cool concept, I like it. Good job!
I see more viruses than bacteria here! (sorry, it was the biologist in me speaking) Overall nice game ;)
-105 years ... basic concept but it works well, congratulations
Very interesting idea, very good mood!:)
Weird mechanic for a good game. All viruses and bacterias are really well done. I like the way my heart is moving. Well done ++
A nice game! Was funny that there was a phrase for -450 years. It's strange, that you have not added "Humor" to the scores.
Execuse me, this was double posting of my comment.
It seems that ambient is a litle bit too quiet. And it's strange that you have made that difference in loudness of the sounds and music. Also as far as I know the heartbeat sounds in different way. Your sound is a litle bit too clock ticking, not heartbeating.
Also I want to say that game is not equal on different runs: sometimes I can live for 78 years withoutfighting at all, sometimes during first minutes of playing it's hard to stay alive first minutes because of two or more cancers comming from diiferent dirrections. Maybe a litle bit balance and your game will be one of the most lovely this jam.
And again as for me I did not like the background. It seems too deformed. It scaries me a bit.
@mironx Hey there! I must say that audio management is not one of my strongest parts and you are right that the heart sounds a bit weird, i tried to do all the sounds by myself and as you see it is far from perfect.
And you are right! The game is completely random, but hey, that is a feature *wink* , cause as we all know, every human is different and thus every situation will be different, equal or not. Though i did think of balancing, i had no time to implement that.
And the inside... well... i did go for a more "realistic" look.
Thanks for playing and i really appreciate the feedback!
I like the environment you created here and the various virus models must have taken a good bit of time. Nice work on that. The controls were pretty easy to figure out. I think some additional feedback on whether you're making the right decision on things could be useful. It felt pretty random and I wasn't sure if I was making good decisions or not. Some nice ambient sounds or music would've enhanced the experience a lot. Overall, I think this is a good entry. I managed to live 17 years!
Well done! I really liked the different bacteria models and also the learning factor of the game. The audio was also quite pleasant :heart: :laughing:

Less I did, more I lived :smirk:
55 years without clicking anything, 17 when I tried to fight.
I live 51 years. Get on my level :D nice mechanics good game
interesting concept, first time i lived just 8 years, second time over 70. but while playing it the first time it often had negative years. Very cool graphic style. the text at the beginning could be displayed longer. But gets quickly boring:(
Very cool idea :smiley: I imagine, playing this on a phone would be fun. Also liked the bacteria design. i found it hard to distinquish between which effects were good and which were bad
@philipprapp95 Thanks for the feedback! I thought that the text staying longer would be annoying as people were going to play again and read it fully anyways but you and others seem to be on the same page about that, very useful for me!
@ryupold Thanks for playing! I thought that it would be the simplest to show by the effect of it on your heart, if it turned darker, its bad, else its good or neutral. And by the way, you can actually run it on a phone surprisingly and if the browser of the phone doesnt crash for some reason as it did for me (not my friends tho), you can play it on mobile, and thats totally intended!
Nice game, it is difficult to remember all viruses. You can do something about the balancing. In one run, i stayed still and did nothing and lived for 95 years. In another run i lived for -20 years.
nice concept, liked the simple yet addictive gameplay, the only thing I would change is that if you hit a bad bacteria then you would increase 8 years instead and if its the good bacteria then you lose 8 years, otherwise good entry, cheers!
Nice concept. Would have been better to have a separate accept and reject button instead of waiting for them to come near to accept. Good job!
Nice graphics! I managed to live negative number of years :)))
@marco-schneider Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback, i didnt have anybody else to play this game for me so i think your say that you cant remember them all is justified, also its all random because i could not do a balancing system in time, but hey, all people are different so thats a feature ;) !
@soggybreadhands Thanks for playing! I thought of that but then i dont think it would fit the theme but tahts really up to debate, its a good idea though one that i could not give enough thought during development.
@xsoodx Thanks for playing! I dont think that would have worked as well since at a point there could be more than 4 bacterias/viruses at once and it would make the game into a turned-based game which was not my idea, though a valid suggestion nonetheless!
@datagreed Thanks for playing! Negative years ain't fun! Try to live friend!
Nice little Game. Graphics are cool. First I lived -20 Years and then like 80 and didn't do anything. I feel like there is a balancing issue, but hey, it's LD. Everybody has balancing issues. Concept is cool.
It's a really cool concept, but I think it needs some tweaking or order to get it from the start. Also I have no idea with the different bacteria are XD but it could be a awesome learning game. Nice graphics as well.
I love memorization games and holy crap is this game hard. I think if I spent a good hour on it I may get it down, what is your high score? In general I really like the concept and am surprised I haven't seen it before. This should be an app to replace flashcards lol. I appreciate your effort in modeling and animating so many things for a compo game, this was way more content than I'm used to seeing. Another nice touch was the win screen, I did play a few times just to see what kinds of messages I got. Neat game and I wish I had the extra time to sit down and nail this score down!
@dev-dennis Thanks for the feedback, i agree the game needs some tweaking, hopefully my future jam games will be better! :D
@peachtreeoath Thank you for playing! My personal high-score is 120 years though i have done 170 during testing (not counting that though). I agree there is some potential to this to replace flashcards but i don't think i would be one to do that! :laughing: Thank you for the kind words and again, thanks for playing!
Cute little graphics! and good animation and sound on it.
i was a bit too impatient to really figure out which bacteria were good and bad - would probably have . liked that part to be simpler and just more focus on survival!
Cool concept. I like that you had actual bacteria/viruses in the game. The graphics are great too :) Too bad it didn't quite work with the balancing it has. The play time should be longer to have time to learn things. It shouldn't throw multiple bacteria at you at the beginning because it's hard to keep track of all of them. I get that the "years lived" is a score, but thematically it's very strange that your years lived goes down if you do stuff... Good job anyway :)
@neontropics Thanks for playing!
@m2tias Thanks for the feedback! I really didnt have time to do the balancing so i see where you are coming from. Also i thought that since you make the heart work more to fight the bacteria, it would make the person weaker and thats where the decision and memorization part kicks in! Anyways, really appreciate the feedback and thanks for playing!
Interesting idea, I don't have much to add here, but the purple text is kinda hard for me to read, would perhaps be better if it was black or maybe white. Good job!
@wildcard Thanks for playing! I guess you are right on that one, i knew i had to go with something other than red but turns out purple might also be bad!
