Nice game, I really liked how the game teaches you how to play, well done! :smile:

pulkit-garg 2020-04-20 01:09

The art style is cool.

n-o-games 2020-04-20 07:22

This Game is very stressful I like how the other functions like sneezing are so slow you forget about them and then they suddenly creep up on you later on. Very Fun.

mehrdadsh 2020-04-20 07:26

funny and nice

bakob 2020-04-20 07:28

The game is really fun, but it would be great if the Keys to press would be in a more comfortable position(next to each other on the keyboard)

thegamegoyal 2020-04-20 07:29

Very cool concept. The game is very fun and difficult. The tutorial is very good and the art fits great. The music is quite nice too. Great effort!

majk-fl 2020-04-20 07:31

Great game! Pretty challenging too.

generalsturgeon 2020-04-20 07:32

Loved it, great concept and execution!

bearwey 2020-04-20 07:32

I like how very hectic the game becomes the moment you also have to click! i managed to survive for 5 whole minutes!

scottthoo 2020-04-20 07:32

I'm glad my subconsious that's done all of things for me. Thanks. Hattchuu~

martintale 2020-04-20 07:32

Lovely game! It's hard to read while focusing on all the progress bars.. I think part of the problem for me is the us of "random" letters as keys.. I would prefer using maybe arrow keys to select and then space to press.. Maybe it's just me, but the less thinking I need to do the better.. :D

sirsnowy7 2020-04-20 07:32

This is far and away my favorite game I've played thus far. It surprised me with how much of a blast it was. I couldn't beat it, but I very much enjoyed the whole experience of trying.

mhykah 2020-04-20 07:33

I couldn't get very far but it was an interesting and funny game!

attala 2020-04-20 07:36

Very nice graphics and mood. Fun gameplay. The game gives you a very pleasant and calm introduction to the game, and then it gets really stressfull :) I think my own heart started beating faster too. Good job!

@trko @pulkit-garg @n-o-games @mehrdadsh @bakob @thegamegoyal @majk-fl @generalsturgeon @bearwey @scottthoo @martintale @sirsnowy7

Thanks so much for commenting everyone!

It's really great to read your kind words. I put the keys in weird places to make it more difficult but I think I maybe understimated how difficult it was to play. :upside_down:

Thank you!

m8rix 2020-04-20 07:43

Lovely game! Really creative and fits the theme perfectly. Great little tutorial in the beginning, I have to say. The game was super challenging though, i'd say you should make the game much easier initially but increase the difficulty slowly while you play.

I really like the fast-moving (blood?) in the background, really added to the intensity of it. I would have liked it better if the controls were grouped around one had though. I played it with both hands on the keyboard and just moved my hand to itch and such, but moving the hand usually takes a noticeable bit of time given how fast paced this game is.

sirsnowy7 2020-04-20 07:53

@digitallimestone I thought the key placement was good. Made it more confusing and I think that's a good thing

plantprogrammer 2020-04-20 07:53

This game is amazing. You never realize how much of a power horse your brain is until you have to mash a bazillion buttons in parallel, all with different demands. This game hast just nailed it. Thanks so much for this experience <3

piko-monde 2020-04-20 07:54

Nice game... Now, I know that I don't want to be my own brain.. :smile:

It is hard to play again and reading the instruction. Can you pause the game when the pop up tutorial showed? Because I can't read while pressing button, ha ha.. Or maybe it is part of the game? Hmm..

Good job! =)

ironygames 2020-04-20 08:06

Buddy this game almost made ME forget how to breathe.

I live stress management games, and the way you introduced all the elements progressively really helped. When I saw the wee and poo bars I was like "really"?

As for feedback, I'd like the keys to be rebound / more comfortably bound. Maybe it was your idea so as to keep the hand moving?

Anyway, for a lefty it'd be much comfortable if they could be on the right side of the keyboard :)

digitallimestone 2020-04-20 08:18

@ironygames Hahaha! Thanks for the feedback! :smiley:

kjscott 2020-04-20 08:21

Overall the game was great, fun and definitely ends up being quite a hectic game. Against the "chill" music it makes it funny.

The key layout could have been improved to make it easier to perform all the actions but I'm suspecting that this is intentional to make everything far more stressful and complex that it needs to be, which works well with the greatly increasing intensity so I wouldn't mark it down for that.

It was so hard to try and keep up with the messages and understand when and how to fulfill all the different needs, it definitely takes a few goes in order to get more competent at the game.

jabdownsmash 2020-04-20 08:49

The most elaborate "you are now breathing manually" joke in existence.

A lot of polish in this one! This is essentially a finished web game. I like the balance between the different kinds of actions that you have to take, though it did get a bit repetitive. I didn't manage to beat it but I enjoyed the vibe during my playthrough! :slight_smile:

corporation 2020-04-20 09:00

amazing idea, nice game!

jk5000 2020-04-20 10:04

The idea is fun, and both the music and graphics is really good. The controls is a bit too confusing, and it is a bit difficult to follow the story when you constantly try to find the right button to press. Overall is this good jam game. Well done.

suika343 2020-04-21 14:13

The game is fun even though I'm having trouble keeping up with the actions needed to be performed. I enjoyed it and I like how it is very clean and polished!

lazzydev72 2020-04-23 11:15

Its funny controlling human body is hard :laughing: .

camcam 2020-04-23 13:02

The sound is beautifull ! but i don't understand the the rules (i'm french and bad in english x) )

digitallimestone 2020-04-23 13:36

@camcam Yeah, I think I definintely should've made the tutorial slower. Thank you! And I'm glad you liked the sound :)

whydoidoit 2020-04-23 15:37

What a very cool idea and a lot of fun to play! Really high adrenaline!

zimny11 2020-04-23 15:42

I love the introduction. The whole idea is just amazing, and the sound effects are so well done :P I'm not good at multitasking, but still had a lot of fun.

tudvari 2020-04-23 16:18

Well, it made appreciate the human brain once again.

It's not a fun game, but a good experience :slight_smile: Thanks!

(One thing I missed is the fullscreen option.)

curleyrach 2020-04-23 18:10

Had a lot of fun playing this! Really like your take on the theme and the game is super challenging in a good way, we even co-oped at one point and still didn't get to 3 minutes :laughing: Art and sounds are great and add to the humour. Nice job!

mickgerritsen 2020-04-23 19:59

Really cool. It is really polished. Especially the audio is what I liked! Only thing is that I couldn't skip the tutorial. I wanted to play again immediately because it is a good game!

mika-la-grand 2020-04-24 15:24

Interesting concept, but there is too much going on. The controls are also all over the place, which doesn't make it any easier. I would do something like A, S, D and J, K, L.

knason 2020-04-28 10:59

Wow, loved it! great concept! It was well balanced. The only thing I didn't like was your choice of buttons. I would have preferred them to be more outspred on the keyboard. But the game itself is brilliant! The audio was great too. Loved the heart beat sound :)
