I tried to complete it a few times, but I kept losing my minions and had to backtrack for them, and after finding them they kept walking into walls and didn't latch back onto me.
Great audio design, great soundtrack, great graphics, great narrative voice- it was all very good. The only suggestion I can even think of giving is to add some directional arrows to show the flow of blood so that it's a bit easier to see, but apart from that I loved it.
Really well done! :)
Do you have any plans on additional mechanics for this game?
I was afraid that viruses would kill my blood cells or remove oxygen, but it seems they are just obstacles.
Here is my playthrough: https://youtu.be/fGoSkpRsV5c
I think this would make a great educational game for kids learning about the human body!
The organ oxygen meters feel balanced which is great.
The only problems I have are the distance between organs and weird collisions, especially with the small blood cells.
BTW, why are the germs in the game? didn't have time to enemy-fy them?
I appreciated the bloodflow and the narrative tutorial that are especially well done.
I coudn't find a way to the liver without going against the tide. Maybe the game is too zoomed on blood cells.
Anyway, very good entry :)
In all, I really enjoyed it. Also, who doesn't love a punny title? =)
@icxon: Thanks for posting your video playthrough – we are glad you even found the "easter egg"! ;-)
@AmnonLevi: No time to enemy-fy the viruses, exactly! ^_^'
@novodantis: These are very good suggestions, thanks! We'll keep them in mind for a post-LD release!
Overall, it was a very enjoyable game and I re-learned anatomy again. Thanks for that :p
My poor human's body failed her because she didn't get enough oxygen to her stomach.
A few problems though : on my first try, I lost all the little blood cells (no idea how) and was left with only one... Also the music didn't start, I had to relaunch to hear it. I think the gameplay could have been less repetitive too but that was still fun

The sounds is cute, the art is good, and the whole idea behind it makes for a great educational game. It was a bit weird that you can lose your students behind, and I somehow wish there was something more interesting to running to a specific place (and not just follow the path), but it is incredibly well made for such a short time. I've seen actual educational ad games that had less work and polish.
So congrats!
