Took me a while to understand how I could sell my first organ. But couldn't figure out how to get more bodies afterwards.

I like your take on the theme and how it contrasts with the cute art is.

My first thoughts are: this game is fun, humorous, and I feel it could entertain me for hours.

sgtweirdo 2023-01-09 22:17

Interesting concept, managed to get my 2nd tank and tried to bankrupt myself, surprisingly difficult hahaha. Enjoyed your game! I'm impressed with how you scoped it as a 1 man team.

@kisagyszony I'm glad you enjoyed it! My goal this jam was to try and cram as many features in as I could. I'm pretty happy with It!

@sgtweirdo I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm actually really happy with what I managed to squeeze in there. I think theres only one idea I had that didn't make it in. I appreciate the compliment!

Stock market - now I'd love how you manage that logic behind that haha. I see a multiplayer version of this haha.

It's fun - and you got the proper harvest topic done! :D

Different take on the harvest theme for sure!

Nice take on the theme, I was quite getting into the alien organ harvesting fantasy. The electro interpretation of moonlight sonata kind of made it for me. Characters and art style was cute too. I was confused by my ability to move things around, but after i did I couldn't seem to interact with them properly... so i put them back and then they were ok. Also the use of ESC clashes with having the game full screen in browser which was a shame as I wanted to fully immerse myself in the alien lifestyle. The little mini games were fun, after a while if feels like a bit slow to go through the whole cycle to line up the next body on the slab and get on with it. All said, I had fun a sweet experience. Thanks for helping me live out a fantasy i never knew i wanted.

I spent a long time playing this (3 tanks, 3 freezers, and all tools except brain) Fun. Just insanely fun. Hate the eye goblins tho. Only thing I would point out is that the freezers sprites stack, preventing me from accesing them. Other than that, this is insanely...

Fun.

Adorable how such a grim theme is mixed with cute characters!

Starts a bit slow to me, I had to roll for perfect liver and perfect market several times before I had enough money with safe margin to buy a saw, and then economy went a lot better. After that game speeds up.

Nice entry!

I love the gameplay loop! I agree that it started off slow, but the pacing was just nice later into the game. Nice job!

Pretty solid game across the board! I found myself getting sucked into it, I didn't realize how long I'd been playing until it was almost an hour!

My only complaint is that the eye goblins are too difficult. I found myself going for arms and legs instead, to get a more consistent income, until I got to brains at least.

I recorded my gameplay experience in this video, your game is at the **0:30** mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TPsLkQIfYE

Really awesome tutorial and a nice touch that you can rearrange everything. A bit difficult to get started as you don't have many choices early on.

In the end, I really enjoyed the game and its interesting take on the theme - although it took me a while to understand the overall gameplay-loop. The music was pretty cool, and the graphics are solid, if a little bland. Very nice work, well done

gubidubi 2023-01-14 15:28

Very fun and polished game, the start is a bit too hard in my opinion though. I like a lot that you can move the objects around to customize the room

substain 2023-01-14 15:29

cool idea, the mechanics are well-defined and polished. Nice that you had to check the stock market as well as the respective quality to see which organs should be harvested. Theres a little bug that you cant interact with the computer if you are too close to a tank, but thats not a big deal. great entry! :)

Hey, I like it, the minigames look Undertaley :) the overall idea is great, but getting $1000 for the loans takes way too long in my opinion, I've bought every tool and maxed out tanks by the time I reached $300 and for the next 20-30 minutes I had to farm the money, the gameplay became repetitive. Also, is there any way to harvest the heart? I couldn't find the tool for it unfortunately. These are my only complaints, but I've been having a lot of fun discovering the new harvesting methods. I like the stock market mechanics and the fact that it is possible to rearrange the room to my liking. Very cool :)

twilightrh 2023-01-17 19:55

Very fun game. A nice addition for the various minigames you need to finish to actually get the organs

samuli 2023-01-19 16:54

Cool entry. Takes too long time to finish, but I had my fun cutting organs nevertheless!

david-mason 2023-01-22 20:02

Nice game. Probably needs some balancing in the early game took me quite a while to get the bonesaw but after that the progression felt quite good.

frozenfire92 2023-01-22 20:34

This was a morbid take on the theme :joy: I think you did a really good job with the core gameplay loop of checking the market, harvesting, and prepping for tomorrow. I found your mini games to be all pretty hard (maybe I'm just bad lol). Overall a good entry! Keep on making games :smile:
