The art is beautiful! I liked the gameplay, although I found it a bit too hard. I always died before getting any of the yellow guys or upgrades. The idea is very clever and fits the theme well. Music was great too.

The art is beautiful! I liked the gameplay, although I found it a bit too hard. I always died before getting any of the yellow guys or upgrades. The idea is very clever and fits the theme well. Music was great too.
Pretty cute game, though i had no idea on what i was doing or what i was supposed to do. The graphics were nice and the music was very good. I would suggest a change of font since it was really hard to read what was on the smaller prompts and some of it was really blurry. Overall nice game.
As others have said, the game looks fantastic but I could have used a lot more instructions on what to do, I found myself just clicking on repair until I couldn't keep up and I died a lot.
Nice game, the music was nice and soothing, and I liked the monochrome color scheme and art. The idea was very innovative too. It was a bit confusing though, I think it would have helped if things were a little more dynamic. Like when you click on an organ the organ info panel slides out from the side rather than just appearing. It would have been good to have all the organ health numbers constantly visible too, maybe along the top of the screen or something, so that when you are dealing with one organ, you can still keep an eye on the others. I don't know what the "upgrade" or "special" boxes did either.
Once I understood what was going on, I enjoyed it. There's a fun game loop here.
The art is minimalist but beautiful. I believe the audio echoes this and they complement each other excellently. On top of that, the premise certainly fits the theme. However, it is a little unclear what needs to be done, and it feels like a lot is left to the player to figure out on their own. Absolutely a pretty game :) But if feels like a little instruction could go a long way here.
i like the concept, but this game felt pretty punishing, when an organ is not doing well, ATP lowers, making it harder to heal the organ, a vicious cycle. maybe that's what you were going for, but ultimately it lead to rounds being over pretty quickly, and not much motivation to try again.
i think the visual style and mood are nice.
as for gameplay, a bit more feedback for performing actions would be good. even if its just a little sound, and maybe a visual pop (quick grow/shrink) animation on the relevant organ to make it feel like i'm really doing something when i heal / upgrade.
Man, this game has great vibes. Very nice art, UI, and soundtrack. Like the other commenters, I feel like I didn't quite understand the gameplay. I never got any of the yellow resource, so I couldn't upgrade, and I never had enough batteries to keep my lil' guy going. Poor little Plobnis never made it out of their 20s, but they did have quite a few cute cats fall asleep on their knees, so I guess that's something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mostly just echoing others here. The art is lovely and I vibe with the music, but the game is a bit opaque. Feels like it all moves a bit too fast and there's not quite enough guidance on how to keep our adorable little meat puppets alive.
Had fun trying though. Nice work!
I couldn't really figure out how to play this one. Perhaps you could give more detailed instructions in your description? The idea is good, and I liked the scrolling text at the bottom.
