A surprise, but a welcome one. I enjoy the difficulty of the game as well as how creative you were all able to be with the prompt. Hats off to you.

the introduction for game was pretty funny, like the concept of the game a lot. but doesn't clarified where to hoover certain area of npc body which I figure out myself by playing the game couple of times. selling and stealing has pretty interesting mechanic within the game. only issue for me was that the organ expire (died) way too fast. to balance the game, I hope you can change that to make it expire organ bit slower. and maybe add crosshair. overall fun game, trying to beat my previous score. good job!

I felt like the organs decayed too quickly, I could walk maybe a block before dying, and I also wasn't clear on what selling the organs was for. Would have also been nice to have an option to skip the opening cutscene on subsequent plays.

This game has a lot of charm. The opening cutscene/tutorial is really well done and sets the mood for the game perfectly. The game is pretty hard and I struggled to get far before my organs decayed. The art style is great and is almost uncanny (in a good way). Very well done!

I went into this one expecting a sort of ironic horror-esque experience, with the admittedly kind of crude, but still appealing, art style. Though what I got I found a lot more hilarious and engaging with the theme.
The tutorial was a very welcome surprise and very amusing.

I found organs to degrade a bit too quickly to really be able to go on longer runs in the game, with NPCs having chances to drop organs you don't need while you have a couple missing ones means that a run can very easily go down the drain, which I found a tiny bit annoying.

Like others are saying the mechanics were kind of unclear, but this game had a lot of charm. Sucking eyeballs and shooting bones out of a vacuum is just a joyous thing.

Wow! i was completly shocked by the turn of events, very nice! I couldn't figure out how to collect bones so i was just running around sucking out organs xD Good entry!

Cool game! The map and all the custom assets are really impressive considering the time limits. The game worked quite well aside from a few things (you can only suck in one item per mouse click) and at one point I was shoved into a building by an NPC and couldn't escape. Great work though, I love that you can fire bones at the NPCS.

A very interesting game, it is a pity that I do not know how to play the game properly, we lack a guide, I hope to add a newbie tutorial. Looking forward to the subsequent updates of this game.

Super fun idea and one of the best tutorial sections I've seen in an LD game. I really like the little touches making the game more chill (like putting new organs onto your decayed ones). I stopped at 2k earned, because I got pushes into the ground by one of the pedestrians, but other than that I didn't encounter any issues.
