Really love the idea and the color mixing was a great way to add more depth and strategy. Though I like how doctors have reduced speed vertically to encourage more thought about where to grow specific herbs, it felt they were too slow. My best score was 13. Would love to see this polished and developed further!
Cool concept! I wish these doctors climbed ladders a bit faster though.
Nice game. It was gameover for me too soon because the doctor are slow XD. Nice game overall, Good job!
Really fun! I already thought it was neat before the mixing was introduced, and then when I saw that I realized there was some great depth to it. Impressive design for a game jam! Great work!
This is cool; I love the unique medieval setting and the aesthetic style derived from it. However, as others have mentioned, the drag function often doesn't register, which makes the gameplay a bit frustrating. Overall it's a unique and fun game, nice job :)
I really like the art and sound! Sometimes when I drag, no one comes to respond. I have to drag multiple times for someone to respond and this makes the game very hard. Overall great game, I had fun playing :)
Great art for the game & like the overall aesthetic of the plague doctors during the plague. Great usage of the theme & overall an enjoyable game to play.
The art is quite nice, and you built the theme very well. Good work!
This was quite fun! Nice work!
Really cute game! Loved the fact that you made it colorblind friendly, that was awesome <3
Pretty cute, that would make a great mobile game!
Good job!
Thanks for noticing the colorblind friendliness.
It does work on mobile though it is a bit buggy. Still managed to get my second best score on it.
Thanks for playing.
yeah the idea is rly nice and i like the gameplay.
i also like plague doctors ^^
the only problem for me was the dragging sometimes doesnt work. pulled like ten times and nothing happens, so i couldnt beat the game or get a higher score.
but the theme and idea are quite awesome <3 nice game ^^
i really enjoyed this game! the dragging animation felt very smooth + the art is really nicely done :) it would've been awesome if the gardens, doctor homes and sick people homes were all slightly different colours to help you differentiate the buildings, as i thought i could only use the doctors home at the top of the map to make cures :)
a really well done submission! <3
I wanted to keep this gray color pallet for all the sprites, but in hindsight you are right it would have been better if the different houses are different colors are at least different shades of gray.
Thank you for playing.
I enjoyed the simplicity of the gameplay loop. It was simple, but effective at creating a good challenge. Also thought the music was perfect. Added the right vibe without feeling repetitive. Great work!
The visual style is consistent and a very fun game to play. I could definitely see this get expanded into a game with upgrades and unique abilities for the doctors. A small issue I encountered was sometimes dragging a potion doesn't work, but overall a great game made in just 4 days!
Great work. the art work look good the mechanics are also great just one issue dragging the herbs is difficult some time it's not work.
Overall a great game
Great game! Love the mechanics. The controls were super easy to use, and I had a great time playing!
Super creative game, great art and audio.
But maybe I ran into an issue on the web build? It seems like I can’t drag herb onto houses without much difficulty.
oh bro! you are a genius! i really like this game! the artstyle is really cool, i love the pixel art, the mechanics are truly original and funny to play and the music with the harpischord is absolute fire! nice work, and good luck! i hope you win!
if you want you can rate my game, i rated your's :)
Love the interpretation of the theme!
Really unique use of the count down theme. I liked the art and the color combining system
