Funny concept, but seems oddly chance based, unless there's some mechanic I'm missing. Most attempts, the heart runs out far before there's another one to get

This game is great! Balancing cleaning the hospital, not leaving too much water on the ground, and finding times to sneak in and get a fresh heart makes the game complex enough to be fun, and simple enough to understand right away. The art is simple but effective, and the beige and blue color palette feels very hospital-ish. One of my favorites so far!

I'm a simple human. I play a game where I'm a janitor and I have to clean stuff and I give 5 star.

omg I was SHOCKED when he just started taking the hearts LOL, but I enjoyed playing!! It was kinda chill which feels weird to say thinking about the task at hand. The sound effect of the heart when it started to fail was a nice touch! Really gave me a sense of urgency

Great concept, I'm also a big fan of the minimalist artstyle. Also, big fan of the beating heart sound as your heart starts stopping.

I didn't read the description before playing and boy was I not prepared for how that started off. Campy and entertaining idea!

Well, it's... hmmm... "original" xD . I'm really happy that the game can be played with an AZERTY keyboard, but I'm sad it's not compatible with GamePad unfortunately :( .

The game is not really beautiful, and animation are really basic.

At least, it's... or

Hahaha this was fun. There's something super appealing about just slip and sliding all over the floor with the mop, hitting other doctors down. Janitors are def. underused as main characters in games. My one suggestion is to add a couple more doctors -- the two walking around are so slow, too easy to die!

Fun concept! I found it a bit unclear what makes the doctors unhappy with you, sometimes my meter just shot down and I wasn't sure why.

The concept is super fun and I love a good Scrubs reference x) However I wasn't able to survive, the first doctor is always too slow to bring a body to the morgue

Fun ideas ! great job !

Nice job!

The mix of trying to clean behind people and get the hearts of the deads forces you to always have an eye on everything that is happening, it's good!

It didn't always felt very clear on why I got fired, I think a clearer explanation on the end screen could be great.

Man the heart transplanting animation is really SOMETHING :D

Nice combination of mechanics (metal gear heart transplant?) I like the suspense and the fact that I need to juggle and look out when is the best moment to perform the transplant :D

Nice tough with the hospital guys slipping on the wet floor and decreasing satisfaction. The chill elevator music helps with the absurd tone of the game - everything here feels consistent and comes together nicely.

Would love to get some more variety as after a few transplants I've found an optimal strategy and it was not problematic to keep my heart meter up.

++ for the grillmaster 9k :DD

At first I thought I can also "interact" with the dead patients in their rooms as well but it's understandable why it would be suspicious :D

:v: nice one

Very nice game, only problem is that blood gets under beds sometimes making it impossible to clean
