The Good Doctor by Sestren 2012-12-28T23:10:00
Interesting idea, but as you said, there is not much gameplay. The mood and story kept me till the end, so that's a plus! Good job finishing this.

Loved this game! The style, and the complexity! Great!
It seems it's like ski free, youre doomed from the start. Well for 7 hours its a VERY GOOD GAME, and congratulations.
I liked the idea a lot. Took some time to understand what you should do (because the light coming from people's eyes aren't that obvious). Loved the entire urgent feel to it. It just felt strange that the game is easier with your progression, but other than that, awesome job!
I loved the idea, but as I am not an american, I am not entirely sure what are you parodying about, what are your message. Well I had some fun anyway ;)
Sweet game! Loved the animations! One of the few games I actually downloaded the source, lol.
It let me punch the goats but the punches didn't do anything oh god! Anyway, it was ok.
Sensational game, and premise! Great use of the theme, and the goat. Had fun with it. Ou seja, bacanasso!
I like the mystery to it.
An okay, simple game.
Exaclty what the other people said. Your screenshot is appealing, but the file is corrupted. Don't worry, I won't vote yet.
Controls ruined it :( Give us a little time to put the traps before the hero starts moving...
Can't get past lvl 1-5, how many are there?
Very good! Had lots of fun with your game, thanks.
Whoa so good! One of the bests I've seen so far. Really good graphics.
Yeahhh! I destroyed the world!
Prety fun! I had 2 HP in the end.
Great game! Had a blast playing it. I believe ou should do something about missclicking though, because that happened too much times. Nonetheless, sensational work, my friend!
I don't have words to tell what you accomplished here. Good work!
Prety cool game!
But you should change the controlls, they get inverted when you are upside down (if you are falling upside down, when you turn left, the guys turns right, which happens to be the left side of the screen, but it is impossible to play with this, when you are moving up and you starts getting down, the controlls sudenly change the sides..)
Good. I liked the whole Cave Story leveling system, I believe. Could have used sound effects, though.
Nice game! Prety fun.
but as surpy said, playing everything again after death feels really bad.. And it happened a lot to me.
Good game! Good puns! Vacuuming money is always a win! Cool you could get to work sfxr with flash, we had difficulties with that.
Very nice!
Had a good moment playing it! Really cool.
I just felt that the battle is a little too predictable, as the timing is static and does not depends on the player, and using the shield blocks the whole battle, so there is no need for hability or decisions the player has to make. So if the battle was not "a lot of fun", the sneaking through the guards and trying to get some potion after taking some damage was really nice. And also the game is quite solid and well done. Good job!
Nice idea, but I agree with other people. This game would gain so much from feedback of what you are doing, like the enemy shops flashing red when get hit or something. Good work!
Good. I had some fun. But the stealth mechanics are really frustating and unknown.
Congratz!
Very fun game! Loved it! That was a neat idea. I would like an easier way to choose birds and less birds that do nothing at all but you can select them thus confusing you but that is fine. Good job!
Outstanding. Had fun with this!
Sensational game! Simply astounding! Lost some time in it. The community aspect was really surprising and knocked me out. Some music and better design of the base creation (I click twice, and after a while it creates a tile where my mouse is, if I mouse my mouse where I wait it can get frustating, and you can't know if you can put a x tile on y place) screen would help a lot, though.
Muito bom!
Interesting game, funny and different, but feels like it doesn't depends much on the player, I mean, I don't really feel like I'm playing the game, since some results seem kind of random..
Good game! Too bad it had only 2 levels. I took some time to grasp the instructions though.
Awesome!
So simple, but it's the game I had more fun until now.
VERY GOOD! Shows how much ambition is great by itself, even if you're gonna fall anyway. Had lots of fun with this, thanks.
Loved it! Good idea and awesomely done.
but I think it is a little too easy to win..
I liked the aesthethics. You tried to make us see through the shooter's eyes, I guess, where everything is blurry and meaningless (haha, that sounds horrible but I mean in a very good way!). I think the game would benefit from more feedback from shooting people, both game-wise and story-wise. Good work there!
None less than incredible. The fact that you done this is 48h is incredible. Sir, you should feel proud.
It's fun! But you should win money all the time, it felt bad when the money was over and there was nothing else to do.
Polished game!
Great game! Loved it. Didn't finish because the last level was so hard. I took a while to discover what down did, though. Nice work!
I'm having some problem with the link too..
Good game!
@CireNeikual you're completely right! Thanks.
@AdricZero yeah that is known to happen. In Firefox it should use the correct screen size and work fine.
@AdricZero It may be that you have zoomed out in your browser. Try pressing ctrl + or ctrl - to adjust the zoom.
Fun game! whoever had the idea of a button to lock the character angle made an awesome job, it helps a lot! But when there are a lot of people throwing things on your face (which starts happening really fast, and keeps forever) the audio gets really boring..
Fun, polished a lot, had a lot of awesome details. I only wish I could multiplayer it! Really, pat yourself in the back.
Simple and fun! Liked it when it gets faster.
Lots of leaps of faith though. And a tutorial in-game would be nice.
Overall, nice!
Cool game! Why is there a squid counter? More squids make you stronger against the red fish?
Good fun. It's a shame the most epic part is the last boss, because so few people are actually gonna see. I remember you from last LD. You're getting better!
Sensational game! 5 in most stuff. I did it for 34 days and didn't survive. The only thing that I didn't like is because you take a mistake of not lighting the campfire, you die. It's so harsh for a little mistake.
Nice mood! Just took a while to see that is was a tower defense.
Sensational entry. Nice story. Nice take on the theme. Fun for while it lasts, include a walkthrough. Congratulations!
Fun. The style is great! I like the effect on the main character!
You gave a target time so you can't make a slightest mistake.
Had lots of fun with this! If this was made in 16h, congratulations, man!
Good idea. I liked when you mess it up and there is nothing to do but watch you get harmed. With patience, it is possible.
Squares!
Use the minimum to convey the most: that, my people, is minimalism. Good job! Couldn't figure out the game of thrones part though.
This game is awesome. Loved the flow of it. Nice take on a runner, I liked it!
Very cool. Couldn't get to the end. I liked, it was a very creative puzzle, and it's possible to be figured out, and the first levels are so easy you can pass by without problems. The frustating part was the platforming: I would lost control of the guy because he was too fast and mess up the puzzle. Other than that, good! Thanks.
Cool game! Loved te style and graphics. The gameplay is nice too. Just wish I could get cy faster...
Awesome game! Loved it! It felt like a Castlevania boss! Nice work!
Just excellent game overall. The simple mechanics of pointing, the teaching itself level design, and that horse maybe is one of the best videogame characters ever. You sirs, deserve a lot. Genuine fun!
Great graphics! The second level was so hard, damn cows!
Nailed the theme so hard it hurt.
Woah. I liked the idea a lot, but this game would benefit from being able to choose less colors. Or having an easier way to pick them. Cool.
Awesome game! I just continued many time because the voiced said so... It is fun, but hard. And my points are mostly the same because I never hover over the boss. Overall, cool! Oh and thanks for reviewing my game on Twitch.
Fun! It has this "just one more try" feel. I like that you start doing horizontal challenges, then vertical challenges, then combine them. That's good level design. The music is incredible as well. I just whished you could see more far away, because sometimes the only way to pass is crashing first, then knowing where to go.
Curti. Principalmente a música! Só ficou meio difícil de ver se vinha triangulo ou traço e por onde, as vezes precisa de um pouco de sorte. Valeu!
Awesome, so immersive!!
Fun.
Funny, varied and unexpected! Cool! The only thing is the meditation mechanic don't feel like really meditation because you're not calmly focusing but angryly mashing a button, but other than that, awesome and congratulations!
Nice! Liked it.
I only have two problems: locking it to just hit the ball clockwise and the interface wasn't that clear.
Nice music and sound FX!
That's life, adding one thing at a time until it transforms into a big loop.
The idea is great indeed.
Excellent game. It's so cool it gives you a lot of options, expect you to make the best of it.
WOA! What a game. May not mean much, but you got my respect forever. Such an impact in a game made in 48h. Sensational, hands down.
I liked how you were always drawn to the thing, and that the good stuff became rarer and more difficult to get so you don't have any choice but stop breathing. Too cool.
Very good! Curti demais a vibe e a tensão! Me diverti.
A única sugestão é ter mais de uma "rotina" pra cada tipo gráfico de inimigo diferente, depois de umas partidas eu sabia o que que ia acontecer.
Cool!
My favorite game of the jam so far! When I started and thought that I should cautiously cut off people slowly, Commandos style, I was pretty excited. When I saw what the game was really about, damn that exploded my head.
Did it with 16 soldiers. I guess that's ok.
That is society in a nutshell. Good job! This was very solid all-together.
Great game. Had fun with it. Particularly the graphics and little animations are very well put together.
Nice job!
@Floko, about the intro, do you think it was good or lacking? Because I personally think it was pretty rushed.
@Everyone yep. My biggest mistake in this game was surely the two overwhelming pieces of cacti. That simply goes against the flow of the game. Well, living and learning.
@TurboDindon We have a world record, folks. Seriously, what the hell good job!
Great game. The amount of polish is outstanding! Versus mode is a +, it really is.
THIS IS TOO EXCELENT! SENSATIONAL!
Played with a friend and had a lot of fun!
Really cool music and art!! Everything is so clean and well done! I had some difficulty in figuring out what caused me to shoot big stars, and what is the advantage of it.
(Thanks for playing my game back in your Twitch!)
Wow the graphics are really impressive in this one. But yeah, definitely pretty hard. Made through 3 days though, hooray? :)
I never realized there were floppy disks in the 70s. I learnt something with your game!
Also, I really dig the art style, have hand-drawn images do make everything more crafty and precious.
I sure with there was a faster turn speed.
@Frump
Thanks! I really liked this visual style too. Yeah it was supposed to behave like a shotgun in the beginning, but I ended up changing its mechanic without time to change the shape of the gun afterwards.
@oab
I agree with everything! Tried to make something different than just a shooter by only letting you strafe and walk by locking on. That didn't work at all haha.
Maybe I'll just make a regular shooter version of this later.
Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks @QuestionableQuality, that was the nicest surprise! I definitely feel like I should have included the option to skip the dialogue, oh well.
