Stay alive! by Richard Jedlicka

Your life of you body is like a currency. It's about circulation and passing through. You have to keep it alive. You have to maintain it to keep its value. You have a very good maintainer, your brain. It does big amount of work in controlling your inner organs. How long could you stay alive if you take the its job?
Instructions
There are four stats (blood circulation, oxygen, water and nutrition). Your goal is to keep them above 0%.
Blood circulation is maintained by the heart. Press F key repeatedly to make the heart beating.
Level of oxygen is increased when inhaling by holding J key, when you release it, the lungs exhale.
When the water level decreases below 80%, the body will drink - the stomach fills with a water (but only if it's empty). To absorb the water, use the stomach, by pressing K key.
The most complex process is to obtain nutrition. You have to wait for the body to eat (nutrition level is below 80%). By pressing the K key, the stomach will digest the food. Digestive process has multiple phases. First the stomach has to fill with gastric acid, next it must churn multiple times until the food is fully digested.

Nutrition from digested food is absorbed mainly by using small intestine (pressing D key). This will create some amount of waste material in large intestine.

Large instestine is controlled by S key to move the waste material throuh it and absort remaining nutrition (smalled amount then small intestine).

One thing that I noticed, is that the time is not reset after you die.
But it seems you can't die if you just smash all the buttons constantly.
Maybe introduce pernalties for too shallow breathing or heart beats.
There seems to be a bug with the time. It does not reset after death.
Nice job overall!
My ancient fingers gave out in the end.

I really like score attack games, this is no exception. I think I did ok, I mean it's a very hectic game and I am not the best at multitasking. Very unique take on the theme, great job :smile:
Shame that there is no sounds in this game - it probably would help a lot on figuring out what you are doing good, what wrong and what to do next!
Overall cool concept but need a little bit more polish i think. If it had some sounds and been little bit less repetititve - i would definitely play it again!
Good job on finishing!
A good rule of thumb for any game is that the player should never be able to die within the first 30 seconds of the game, no matter how bad they are.
Anyways nice entry. Great job!
