i'm not a good doctor.... he is always dying
I also struggled quite a bit! It was really difficult to balance it to not be too difficult nor too easy
very nice and simple mechanics! though it did take me a few tries to understand it :P
but once I understood it, it become VERY clear! :)
Yeah, a tutorial would have been nice, but we didn’t have enough time to also add a tutorial so yeah. Im glad you enjoyed the game!
Very simple mechanic, yet nice concept and art! I get the connection to the theme, also I'd wished for something more "special". The faces the patient makes are hilarious and made me laugh though :D Great game for just two days of time :)
Thanks a lot! Im really glad it made you laugh, that means a lot for me. Also, do you have any concrete ideas for something more “special”?
For special I meant to connect to the them in a more specific way maybe. I see the body, but what is the mind etc. But this is just a personal preference:)
The idea is that you are relaxing the mind and guiding him to an enlightened state of being. The connection is that you are performing acupuncture on the physical body and through those actions improving the qi flow, which is comparable to the life energy of the soul
nice game, art is really cool as well
very cool idea :)
I had no idea you could kill someone with accupuncture :D
Cute little game! Great job!
Well, the acupuncture isn’t really realistic. But it made a cool game
Interesting to split the interpretation of the theme between player (mind) and the character (body). Quite surprising how it becomes so difficult so quickly.
Yeah, it was quite a challenge balancing it. I didnt want to make it too easy but still possible. The dilema was that my brother was really good and my parents where struggling a lot (so was i) So i tried making it a little chalanging for my brother whilst still being impossible for my parents.
Yeah, the theme was interpretet as in the “Gheist” “Sould” “Qi”. (I dont really know if that is how qi is actually viewed, i didnt have that much time to research that)
i messed up on my first try, its quite challenging. very unique idea! i loved his facial expressions xd
yeah, it’s quite difficult! I also struggle a bit to win. But my brother can do it relatively easily so idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Very funny idea and nice look. Great job!
Hahaha the facial expressions are great!
Unfortunately neither my friend nor I understood, how to play this game to win^^' I thought I have to pin the needles were the blue dots are. Somehow we always lost no mather what we did xD I liked the graphic for the mouse tho, that was a very nice detail! :o
Yeah, that’s what you have to do. But you need to wait until you have the needle in your hand, so you gotta remember where the dots where. I have to admit the game is quite challenging to beat 😅
A very simple and relaxing game. It’s an interesting take similar to the game of Simon Says. I used to play similar games on my phone. This got kinda difficult though because the sequence doesn’t repeat like in those similar games.
At one point I got it so wrong his HP dropped dramatically lol. I couldn’t concentrate on the next sequence afterwards and lost the game haha.
Good job!
Thanks a lot! And yeah, the Simon says game was one of our inspirations for this game!!
