Great idea, that fit the theme originaly ! Nice graphics ! Good job !

coachsisyphus 2019-04-29 21:06

Nailed it, love your art!

vuvuzuellainc 2019-04-29 21:36

Thank you ! Graphics by @skyaalogia @coachsisyphus

Nice music and graphics. I guess that you arent using Qwerty. The controls are a bit weird. Good Job.

vuvuzuellainc 2019-04-29 22:27

@luis-j-benitez We used AZERTY :confused: French keyboard ! Thanks for the comment !

kristinnes 2019-04-29 22:28

Nice game :) I liked the music and art style.

rossng 2019-04-29 22:32

Nice concept! Art is really nice. I found the controls quite awkward on a UK layout keyboard though.

john-snyder 2019-04-29 22:37

Very nice game, love the concept. As mentioned before, the controls are a bit wonky, however I do appreciate that you could move with the arrow keys as well. Overall it was a very solid game.

vuvuzuellainc 2019-04-29 22:39

Thanks to each and everyone! We loved to work on this project ! All your comments gives us happiness !

slimabob 2019-04-29 22:58

Very interesting idea with cute artwork. Impressive for a 48hr game!

akshay-b 2019-04-29 23:33

Didn't think I'd play an Elevator Action-like in this jam! Neat, frenetic concept, though I had some issues lining up the interactions, and lost super suddenly every time. But I like the art and the dark humor of the overall concept.

vuvuzuellainc 2019-04-30 03:01

@akshay-b We are happy to impress you with our imagination :joy: We really loved to work on this game! Yeah, some issues with interactions, will work on this ! Skyalogia did a very good work on art. Thx for your feedback!

elnu 2019-04-30 03:01

Any plans for a web/Linux version?

mrpiedpiper 2019-04-30 03:18

Great job! It was fun to play (especially after I saw your comment say the arrow keys work) and well put together. If you plan to expand on this, maybe you could add a bit more of a reason to focus on more patients than just one, and a better reason to keep playing. (High score?)

Excellent job!

vuvuzuellainc 2019-04-30 03:42

@mrpiedpiper Thx for your feedback! We are happy that our game was fun to play for you! Yeah, i think i could add some features to this game and update it later on the itch.io page^^ @mertios Not planed for now, i think about it!

listonos 2019-04-30 03:47

Really cute graphics and nice soundtrack but I didn't quite get how to play. How do you earn money? Does it have to do anything with the bottom floor? I just kept loosing money. Maybe it's just me being dumb but I would suggest putting a little bit more explanation in the description.

vuvuzuellainc 2019-04-30 03:55

@listonos To earn money you have to go to the bottom floor and get money when the little coin flip and float. Will add more description in the itch.io page. Thank you for your feedback.

synystercola 2019-04-30 04:58

More frantic than I thought it was going to be. Could use a little more explanation on how to make money, but otherwise I really like it! Graphics were good too!

bnmkt 2019-04-30 06:47

Nice game, you are using the theme very well ! i forgot to go the the bottom floor at my first attempt but nos this is really fun. GG :)

vuvuzuellainc 2019-04-30 07:13

Thanks a lot for your comments @synystercola & @bnmkt ! Will update the itch.io page today !

Pretty tough arcade game once you get into it. Controls we a little confusing on QWERTY keyboard, but not too bad once I go used to them.

skyyalogia 2019-04-30 10:11

Thank you all for your comments ! We're taking note of all your feedbacks to apply them on our futur projects and get better, it was our first Ludum and DAMN it was fun and teaching !

darkmax14 2019-04-30 13:26

love the art, great game ! super concept

nico-fallosch 2019-04-30 16:15

the music is very funny and is fitting good x) a tutorial ingame would be nice cause it took me a while to figure out how to play nice website btw

jvolonte 2019-04-30 16:30

Cool idea! I liked it. When I read the controls were ZQSD I thought no way, how am I supposed to move? Luckily arrow keys worked too :P Is there any way to get new patients once they get full health?

vuvuzuellainc 2019-04-30 16:37

@nico-fallosch @jvolonte We are going to work on a post jam version with some new little features to add! No way to get new patients when fully healed but we'll think about that! Thanks a lot for your comments!

mags 2019-04-30 18:28

I had so much fun playing this. We had a hospital idea while brainstorming but we went on from it. You did it, and it's awesome. Is there an ending different than losing all customers? I didn't manage to reach it. :slight_smile:

vuvuzuellainc 2019-04-30 18:39

@mags Reach 100$ and you'll see :yum: Thx for feedback !

kaisean-games 2019-04-30 18:44

Is nice.

The only issue I've had is that the rightmost patient is not visible at all times and there are no audible cues as to when somebody is almost dying or getting too well.

If I got it correctly, the amount of money you get for the work depends on the number of patients still half-well :) If that is true, this is very nice touch.

I've had real fun playing this.

Well done guys :)

skyyalogia 2019-04-30 18:57

@kaisean-games Yeah we thought we could add the patient's hp bar somwehere on the screen, but it was Kinda late ^^', and you guessed well for the money that exactly it :)

Thank you for your comment and we'll work on upgrading the game, we'll keep you informed soon !

siryakko 2019-04-30 19:59

J'aime beaucoup la musique, la partie dessinée à la main, les contrôles sont super sensibles mais on s'y fait, l'idée est vraiment bonne par contre j'ai perdu plusieurs fois sans comprendre la raison car tout se passait bien. Bonne entrée en tout cas

vuvuzuellainc 2019-04-30 20:16

@siryakko Merci pour ton commentaire! Pour la défaite il y a 2 moyens de perdre, lorsque les patients quitte l’hôpital ou alors quand tu n'as plus d'argent. La victoire quand tu atteins 100$ ^^

jorne 2019-04-30 23:06

Very simple, but original concept and nice art! Amazing how I got annoyed by patients getting too well! It took me a moment to completely understand how to play, but when I did, it was very nice and addictive. I wanted to win. It was sometimes a bit difficult to get the cart in the right position to get the money, and as said in other comments, I would have preferred to see all the patients at all times, or hear them when they get better or worse. C'est un très joli jeu, mes félicitations!

vuvuzuellainc 2019-05-01 06:01

@jorne Merci pour ton commentaire! On pense faire une version post-jam avec tout les points notés précédemment :yum: Merci d'avoir pris le temps de tester notre jeu :)

designernap 2019-05-01 10:09

Detection area made it confusing for when I could interact but the presentation, animation and audio were solid. Great work.

deepterror 2019-05-01 20:29

Nice entry, I like the graphics (hand drawn), the theme is also fun. I had some difficulties with the controls (pretty sensible) but once understood it's pretty rewarding.

denzil-gomes 2019-05-01 21:25

I really like your take on the theme. Nice idea. Like a lot of the people I struggled with the controls initially but once I could use the arrow keys things went smoother. Pretty cool art and design. Congrats

gerardb 2019-05-03 23:36

I love some arcady goodness. Awesome game, great soundtrack and graphics. Really enjoyed it. Good job guys! ;)

maggardjosh 2019-05-04 02:14

Good take on the theme, had fun playing it! I kept trying to line up the pill with the center of my cart but eventually realized the character needed to be centered on it in order for me to pick it up. Definitely a very difficult and frantic game. Good entry!

lyrcaxis 2019-05-04 02:16

Fun idea. Took me 5-6 trys before I realized I could keep only 1 patient and just go collect pay every now and then hehe

Nice graphics also

logicon211 2019-05-04 02:16

It was a little hard to tell how much money was waiting for me in the basement

mrbrooms 2019-05-04 10:07

A good game but no score :( Maybe you can add some events and I really need to know how much I win for a patient and maybe replace the cured patients.

acactus 2019-05-07 00:20

It was really difficult to keep track of patients 2 and 3, and really easy to keep track of patient 1 somehow? nice commentary on corrupt medical practices. exceptionally good animation for a LD. and the music was short, but catchy.

vuvuzuellainc 2019-05-13 13:16

Thanks everyone ! Will create a post when the game is patched and updated ! Love you all <3

2019-05-13 13:56

Really Like the originality and the Tracksound ! Good Work
