Hah. Good laugh. Better audio levels would have been nicer and some feedback from invalid and valid clicks.

Nice theme. The audio levels where little bit distracting

That was great! I've definitely never played an LD game like this before

The writing and voice acting was hilarious. I do kind of wish I had some control over the outcome of the story just a few simple decisions that led to different endings.

@Skleembof Thank you! We certainly strive for originality, so that's great to hear.

I think you're right about it needing more decisions. We did have plans for alternate endings but a little too much work went into the "planning" phase and we ended up cutting out a lot of intended features. We do have some desire to continue this short point-and-click, throwing in at least two endings, and tie up some more jokes as well as expand on some of the outcomes and options. If we make another jam entry in this style I think we will definitely try to work in multiple endings. Thanks for the feedback!

Ha! I love the voice acting. As others have pointed out, the audio needs a bit of balancing. There were times when I wasn't sure how to proceed. The menu with the bad heart condition took forever to move ahead (I think I needed to hit the right arrow key?) and I couldn't figure out how to put pills in his cup. Hitting spacebar also resets the game... a list of controls would be really appreciated. The graphics are pretty great, and match the humor very well. Great work!

Whaaaa... it's missing a bit of feedbacks, in order to understand what does and doesn't do something, but with the voices and all, the whole thing was fun in the end! Well done in such a short time!

@Matlab So glad to have made you feel something special :')

@huitre I agree, it does need more feedback for the player, if we update it we will add that for sure! Thank you much!

I must say that the art and voice acting was well done and fit for the funny "bad doctor" story. I would have loved some more interactivity and some feedback. Coughing and mumbling were hilarious also!

Nice

Would have loved to play an HTML version of this game. Sounds very interesting. Did not rate your game, because I couldn't play it.

I'm sorry sir, it's congenital bongoheart. There's nothing we can do.

Very funny game! Nice job

lilkrit 2022-04-18 13:16

This is so funny!

The line deliveries, dedicated cough and mumble keys, and general look made this a standout in my eyes. The theme comes across really well and in a manner I haven't really seen from other games this jam. As others have noted out, some feedback of when you're doing something right would've been nice, but ultimately I thought it added to the awkward atmosphere. The submission's sense of humor combined with its fun premise made me very happy I didn't miss this one!
