This was a fun little game! I liked all the logic pieces you had to take into account when arranging everyone. I feel that the blips and bloops in the audio was a bit loud, especially compared to the really chill music underneath. :)
@ben-burnes thanks for the feedback and kind words! We definitely could have taken more time to mix the audio better <3
I really like your graphics and idea, like for that, sounds are pretty load:( This is a reat job for 3 times ldjam participant, without any words, gg!
I like the game idea because I like this kind of puzzles :-)
But I have to revisit it. Because I wasn't aware that main menu will reset the game. So I have to start from beginning again. Nvm I was far enough to give ratings (good ones) and I put it to my collections, so I won't miss it. But I can't play it directly because I remember too much and so don't read the hints properly (I tried)
So you already know my pain-point. No idea why I wanted to pause the game (cause there is obviously no reason for it) but I tried by clicking the main menu. May you could add a warning-popup for "genius" people like me which warns that progress will be lost.
Besides that a volume-slider would be nice as well.
Ok enough complaints (please take it as constructive feedback).
Of course I also have to tell what I liked:
The mechanics are working very well and easy to get. That combined with the nice looking but also impressiv art takes care that the game is good to play. I also really like that you can change the position of the aliens! Imho thats very handy.
Overall pretty cool game and I can't wait revisiting it =)
Original idea and fun concept. I found the rules a little confusing and would have liked more of a visual cue for how to match - rather than having to read patient notes. I enjoyed the puzzle but struggled to retain the info I needed in my leaky brain! :)
Awesome! Great graphics and the intro was pretty sweet.
That was a great idea! Definitely a head scratcher ! Good job!!
The idea of the game is good. I do agree with @katboo that the rules were a bit confusing (in the beginning) and I also think that visual cues would improve the game experience. Overall, a fun little game.
Love the illustration and art-style! Concept is interesting, and the puzzle itself was fun to solve.
I think some of the UI/interaction choices could have made the experience more enjoyable. I definitely was kind of lost just dragging aliens around until I realized I *had* to connect the pictures to each other to form a connection.
Audio and humour was super strong as well. I clicked around and asking for a hint before interacting with the game results in funny dialogue, etc.
GJ!
Cool glip glop game. Liked the hint feature otherwise it could have been frustrating.
I really liked the sound design, especially the dialogue boxes, and I loved the logic puzzle, it was challenging enough to hold my interest, but not too challenging where I gave up instantly, kudos.
interesting game; I like it
Really cool puzzle game play. Connecting and moving patients around works really smoothly. The art nails the tone.
The soundscape really works for the game's setting but the mix makes some things distracting or grateing. The audio ducking is cool for the background ambience but feels out of place when the other sound effects come down too. The alien chatter sound is really good level-wise. All the other sound effects could come down at least 6dB (or currentFloatValue*0.5). The random beeps could probably even come down 12dB (or currentFloatValue*0.25). They're mostly high frequency content so they'll still be audible in the mix even if they're turned down a lot.
Overall, a very fun experience! I want to do more of these puzzles.
I gotta be honest here I can't imagine coming up with this in 72 hours. This is a game I would enjoy playing over and over on my phone, if it had more levels of course. The audio was well-mixed, the graphics were simple and pretty. The only bug I found was when you clicked on the doner, it would show the tracer line in the middle of the screen. I didn't get any harvest vibes from it either. I loved this game; I am biased towards logic games, so this is a favorite. Thank you for the experience <3
awesome game! I like logic puzzles, the graphics gives a good cartoony feel, the concept of harvesting organs in an extraterrestrial settings adds humor and depth to the gameplay. Matching the donor fluid color and shape and age requirement is challenging and fun, this was a relaxing logic game, it has good replay value , overall I enjoyed playing this one! Congratulations! keep it up!
My biggest crutch is with the background noise. I get that you were going for alien hospital vibes but the constant cracking sounds are rather unpleasant.
Asides I like the puzzle design - its not too hard so we stay engaged in the game. The easthetics are neat. It really shows that a coherent art direction is far more important than the look of individual sprites. I also really like how well integrated the ui elements were especially the connections with their fade-in-and-out appearance.
Love it. I really enjoyed playing and would love to see more levels in the future. A very creative take on the theme and I love the art style. Thank you for the hint button too :smile:
Great entry! Awesome graphics and SFX. The puzzle ideia is also really good. Only problem I had is that in fullscreen the colliders os buttons were a bit weird, making me miss click them sometimes
the game concept is really interesting. really enjoy the puzzle solving process!
I liked how you played the theme here. Also a really fun puzzle game mechanism I haven't seen before! To me, it felt like a different kind of Einstein's riddle. Would wanna have more of these, maybe with even more attributes?
Good puzzle Game, I have fun to play it. Good Job !
Very fun puzzle game, had a great time with it!! Would be nice if the "page the doctor" button had a confirmation before the doctor gave you the hint. I ended up getting a hint once because I accidentally clicked the button.
