Somehow the pumpkin is the most qualified surgeon in the room

Play the game total play time ~2 minutes (three "stages")

TL;DR: I played PlateUp!, got inspired, made something with zero planning and maximum spaghetti, and I’m honestly just happy it turned into a submission.

I really like the artstyle and the idea is very funny. I think you did good. It has this absurd humor I like. And the gameplay is original. Well done!

The artstyle and colors are quite nice, and catapulting the patient off the table when you match up the signals is fun. I had a hard time realizing you had to replace the tool on the table before picking up another one, but that might just be me being dumb. Overall a fun submission, I think. Good job!

While it's not the most original idea considering the theme, it was still relatively fun once i got the hang of what each tool did. I would probably assign positive signal change to one button, and negative signal change to another to make it a litte easier to hit the specific signal amplitude or speed that you need. Also i dont think ive ever been under so many people at once :). Overall good job!

Love this idea and art style, but i didn't undestand how to use tools to save a guy. Usually i come to this ![Screenshot 2026-04-22 at 7.48.04 AM.png](///raw/82c/d1/z/72328.png)

Looks like my patient isn't a big fan of the treatment :D
Such cheerful music and then getting ejected after the treatment — ahaha
