Really good concept and pixel art!

Fun concept and I love your artwork :) I really liked the addition of a cutscene, that seems like hard work! Good appropriate audio & fun mechanics :)

Cool idea and I like the pixel art. I found the gameplay a little clunky, but still good overall! Thanks for jamming with us :)

This is really cute and fun! I love the voice clip. The cutscene was also really impressive, and the gameplay loop is simple and satisfying. I had to click around a bit to trigger the heals sometimes. I had to give up at the virus bit. I love the x-ray mechanic, but I couldn't manage to click on the virus (maybe I'm just bad at it).

Excellent work on this!

Concept: super creative stuff, prefect fit for the theme!

Gameplay: love to see cutscenes implemented in jam games, big plus for that. The actual gameplay part is simple but very effective, I especially like how the different mechanics are gradually implemented and taught to the player, I rarely see it being this well paced (I personally mess this up all the time). The click boxes feel a bit inconsistent and unintuitive, I many times struggled to find where I was supposed to click to heal an arm or a broken bone and just wildly spam clicked around the general area. I think the game should give some visual feedback when the mouse is in the right position like a highlight or something.

Art: simple but very nicely polished, the effects are nice and the animations are well done, though they do drag on a bit too much at times. The main menu looks a bit unpolished.

Audio: nice and fitting all round.

Very unique submission, very theme relevant and well polished, congrats!
