Neat. The mechanic of having to switch between the knife and the syringe ties well to the theme, and adds up to some complex gameplay. Really like this sort of art style as well.

Fun game, pixel art rocks!

Woah this is a really fun game! The graphics, audio and gameplay really checks out, good job!

Really solid game! The only thing that could be better are the sounds.

Woah.

it's really, really polished and clean.

Gameplay was rock solid without bugs or big problems.

I was really into the game and I had lots of fun

I like the surgery view attacking the bad cells.
The well polish game nice graphic, but after 4-5 parts replace the it kinda lose is interest.

@jjjjason @jsec @danidev @caspercaper17 @memel06 thank you for the feedback guys! :yellow_heart: I'm glad that you like the game!

Cool game :)
Feels really polished

Nice concept! Loved the art and the mechanics were pretty neat.

This is probably the most surprising game concept I have seen this far. A well made game, also!

I had a lot of fun. Very well made game. I think I stumbled into your stream while you were making it. Good job!

@evolus @paragonraptors @jani-nykanen @saladon thanks for feedback!

@saladon I did not stream this time, that means that someone was working on a similar game :scream:

Pretty impressed with the amount of work you did for this game. I really like the game navigation!

Lovely. It was a pretty fun experience and I think I will play it again. Keep up the good work!

The concept is so unique

Great job.

Nice concept, good art!

Really fun, love the artsyle!! it's also well polished! The gameplay gets slightly repetitive but still a well made game!

Amazing take on the theme! I liked it a lot. At the end it got a little too hard for me, especially that sometimes my knife wasn't responding. Enemies spawning on me weren't that great, but I guess it was partly my fault. I feel like the suringe wasn't necessary, maybe some more uses for it would be good. Overall - fun game!

Really nice idea and great execution!

Now this idea is very unique! Some levels overwhelmed me with the amount of red cells, but aside from that I enjoyed this one a lot. I'll be honest - when playing it I forgot this was a jam game and played it for half an hour straight trying to beat the torso level...

@corny thank you :yellow_heart: I must admit that I did not have any time to balance the levels, some of them I just created and never even tried to finish myself because there wasn't enough time for that. The chest one in particular is way too hard...

@suchista thanks! I agree with the syringe, I had more plans for it but in the end I did not have time. All it can do now is to heal cells and also make red blood cells faster.

Thank you all for the amazing feedback!

nice idea and game is also matching the theme as well. Really enjoyed it while playing it. Sounds are simple and matching with the game. pace of the game is slow and that is the only negative i got. you had many different levels which is also amazing.

Super charming game, great job!

5/5 from me! It's very fun and creative! Good job dude!

Nice graphics. Very innovative. Maybe include some additional features to maintain interest after the first few levels.

Good game, pretty solid and clever idea! My only complaint is that the levels could be better balanced, but I understand that this is a compo game and there's very little time to balance things on the game. The text on the HUD could have a black-ish stroke to be more readable.

But, overall, a really good job, and well executed game! :)

Thats a super fun game! I really like the concept and execution of this one.
The playable tutorial is great!
The sound effects and graphics fit quite well and progression between the levels (with the money you make) kept me engaged. Nice entry, good job!

@nexusviper @repine @omercanbalandi @jamesolivermusic @daniel-moreno @awesomealliterationalliance thank you for the feedback guys!

Great game, Love these bionic games amazing and solid concept teh torso was really hard to beat!
Great job on the compo!

Nicely done! The core gampley and the idea behind it is really cool and well executed. Art and sound come together very well. Some of the gameplay mechanics did stop me from playing the game through the end though. The gameplay felt pretty slow and after the 5th level it kinda seemed like the game was wasting my time unnecessarily. The walking speed could've been a bit faster and I didn't like how the syringe mechanic worked. Just picking it up at the beginning of the level and then waiting (again, time waster) until some of the blood is regenerated. I would've preferred A more integrated gampley mechanic. It kinda felt like an afterthought.
The controls were very responsive and tight, I like that. Though, I'm not the biggest fan of the "wii mote swinging" attacking mechanic. But I see how your level design and core gamplay needs this to make precision cuts.

All in all, well done game!

Well done finishing compo game! Very unique take on the theme, i really enjoyed playing the game for a while. Only thing i was missing is some kind of progression level while i destroy cells. Other that that, great game! Good job!

Really fun game, although sometimes it felt a bit slow, maybe upgrade would've helped. But I think that would have been hard in that time span (considering it's a compo game), so well done!

Thanks for feedback! @wassim @duke @flamus @jorbits

I'm well aware that there is not much progression in the game. I did not make it in time for the compo. It makes the operation levels very repetitive and boring after a while. I plan to improve this in the future.
