Impatient Patients by Ryfi

[raw]
made by Ryfi for LD 43 (JAM)

In this game, you are a doctor at a hospital. Everyone has an important surgery that needs to be done, and you need to decide which one is more important than the others. In surgery, you have to complete the right procedure. If you kill a patient in surgery, you lose 3 lives, if a patient dies in the waiting room, you lose 2 lives, if you successfully treat a patient, you gain a life. You have 20 lives to lose before you are fired. Your score is how many patients you successfully treat total. Good Luck Doc!

This was lots of fun to play! Had trouble distinguishing which organs were what but after a few batched surgerys I figured it out. :P

This was pretty great, I liked playing the role of the worst surgeon ever. I would improve the actual surgery minigame though, I could barely tell what all the organs were supposed to be. I would also have like to seen more of a gameplay consequence for letting people die by ignoring them, rather than just a list of names at the end. Overall though, I thought it was really well done. A lot of the conversations with patients made me chuckle.

Well, not being able to find the funny bone seems not funny at all, rather sacrificecount++. Am I supposed to just cut stuff, until I find the part? I cant even refuse the funny bone operation :o

@kruemelkeksfan The funny bone is the bent one. We probably should added better instructions but we had a bit of a time crunch at the end.

It was enjoyable, especially with the humorous aspects of the dialogue and good sound design. I found it a tad easy at times and on the 3rd time doing the same liver surgery I was breezing through what was available. The sacrifice didn't seem too prevalent but, I really did enjoy it and I am happy I got to play it.

It's hard to understand how the surgery part works. I find the organ but i dont know how to do. Preatty Hard Game. The graphic is very good. Good job.

Fun idea, I liked the dialogue. The sound/voices were a bit jaring though.

Good job on the humor :) Reminded me of the surgeon simulator.

@plepletier the game doesn't have a very good tutorial, I know, I wanted to add one, but timing didn't work out. The controls were listed at the beginning of the game though! To grab a tool you click it and to use it you drag. I hope you will try the game again knowing this :smiley:

I feel like the voices in this game will give me nightmares. I love the intro music to the surgery mini-game. I wish there was a tutorial for it as I was left a bit confused. Once I figured it out the game is fun.

*seats patient and opens their chest cavity*
"one moment..."
*tunes radio to the most stress-inducing music possible*
"so... where does it hurt?"

This was really weird, but also pretty funny game. Okay the controls and the mini games needs a bit polish, but I had fun playing the game, and that is was really matters. Well done.

Lots of humour in this :p Liked a lot the yogurt voices ! But I was a bit disturbed by the music.

This game really amazed me. Despite the poor assets, it was surprisingly fun and funny. I loved the bad speech-to-text and outright stupid solutions of the doctor (like really, every single thing this nibba does kills the patient). Anyway, after a bit of getting used to the controls, I found myself in a state of flow, though sacrifices didn't really need to be made, I saved everyone I could. I'm tired of writing this comment now ghoodybye

The game doesn't work. Moving your doc around is broken. When you move back the doc turns around at the end of the locomotion. A and D turn as opposed to strafing, like in the '80s. When doing the surgeries I was not able to understand the instructions so I "did the wrong thing" 2 times in a row. That was sufficient for me to quit.

Nice idea, and I think it has some potential! I definitely had fun playing through it.

Some things that bothered me:
1) Movement - obviously would be better to implement WASD+mouse for movement. It's also a bit to understand the patient is following you (at first I thought he's taking me somewhere)
2) I'm not sure if there's a queue I'm supposed to follow for patients, so I just picked patients randomly and eventually died because I had many patients that were waiting for a long time in the waiting room. Did I miss anything? Is there a way to know how long a patient has been waiting?
3) Would be nice to provide a way to skip dialog - once it started being repetitive I wanted to get on with the gameplay and not waste time reading the dialog I already read.

Some things I liked:
1) The waiting room is modeled very nicely. I really enjoyed walking around it and looking around. I also liked the character models for the patients.
2) I liked the audio - characters talking, music that played during operation
3) Dialog was funny and it was pretty varied
4) The instructions for the operations was vague, but I actually liked that! It gave some challenge trying to figure out which is which and what I should do.

Anyway, my game was cut short very quickly (as I said above, because I left some patients for too long in the waiting room), but I think it has potential and I would love to play a full version of this if you continue working on this.

I liked the idea, but i didn't really know what i had to do. Sometimes i just cut along the green line and failed and sometimes there was no line. WASD and mouse look would also have been nice.
I liked the humor of the game and the audio was also very nice.

I tried 5 times to do the surgery, and even cut where it told me to. Not sure what I was doing wrong, but I wasn't able to actually complete a surgery (unless that's the point, but I have a feeling it isn't). I tried moving organs to find stuff underneath and it triggered instant failure. I tried cutting things and same results. Seems like there was some fun hiding in there, I just wasn't able to get to it.

That was awesome! Loved the sense of humor and surgery music, however, the controls were a bit weird at first. Other than that, excellent job!
