kwendey 2024-10-07 23:55

Mesmerizing hhahaha, I really like the sound effects, they r funny

dianavi 2024-10-07 23:56

Haha, cool game and great sound design!

andreia 2024-10-08 00:21

This is too real ahah Loved the concept and sound effects were funny!

alexascher 2024-10-11 22:24

A fun game with tons of content and a cool mechanic. I saved over 100 people and might come back to play again since I havenโ€™t seen all the upgrades. The sounds and graphics are very funny.

It took me a while to get the hang of left and right clicking but pretty fun.

This is such a good entry, that intro had me laughing. The art was incredible and so was the audio. Really cool concept and well executed! Great jam :smile:

Loved the game! It's very easy to pick up but difficult once the hospital gets crowded with patients. My personal best is 196. My strategy was hiding in the corner not letting anyone touch me. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The variety of upgrades is great, but the game is so fast-paced, there is almost no time to even think about special ability timings. (That's probably a skill issue)

Obnoxiously loud coughing and cursing adds to the experience. ๐Ÿ˜„ But I couldn't understand how the ammo supplies spawn, are they random?

Well done!

@zipirtic @ethan-ly @kwendey @dianavi @andreia @alexascher @oliver-day @wisstopher @woona Thank you all for your kind feedbacks, really appreciated!

@woona bahahhaha thanks for the hint, I've managed to get to 232! About the game being too fast-paced, that's a deliberate choice to avoid people getting bored too fast. After all, the goal is simply to cure as many patients as possible before dying, so slowing down the gameplay might even result confusing to some. I agree about certain abilities being even possibly inefficient in critical situations, but figuring out the perfect mix is also part of the game (the classic bug -> feature lazy excuse, lol)! Also yes, the ammo supplies spawns are random.

Very fun concept !

deruitda 2024-10-15 01:57

The audio is incredible, and the gameplay is fast and intense! Not really sure how this relates to tiny creatures but was great none the less!

bashem 2024-10-15 11:45

@deruitda many thanks!

The tiny creature is the virus :D

inonesgraveded 2024-10-15 14:26

Saved almost 200 people. It was funny :D

This was hella fun! The intro definitely had me laughing. I did not expect that.

The gameplay was frantic and fun. All the different patients added good variation to the game.

The left-/right-click was a little hard to keep track of at first, since it was pretty arbitrary. I think I would have rather had another way to select that was a more obvious, but it eventually stuck with me anyway.

Another improvement might be to put more of the stats on the player character (like syringes), so that my eye had to travel less to keep track of inventory versus dangers. The amount of resources dropping was pretty forgiving, though, so I really never ran out of stuff :D I think you found the right level of challenge for a jam, especially implementing a leader board!

That is a veeery nice done game! Had much fun with it.

jammygunns 2024-10-17 00:24

Fighting off the virus was a good idea for the theme. Having to remember if it was left or right to click each time provided a little more of a challenge than I initially thought.

bashem 2024-10-18 17:08

@inonesgraveded @hawkin @aligator @jammygunns Thank you guys for your feedbacks, we are so glad you're enjoying the game! :D

hawkin 2024-10-18 19:40

@bashem totally! It's so easy to get caught up in all the small details of our own submission, or what we hoped to achieve. But it's nice to just detach from our own work and appreciate the work that other people created this time :)

ang-parodi 2024-10-20 13:17

One of the best I've played!

island-jam-2-group-3 2024-10-20 16:40
