Really nice art as well.
Oh and I tried flinging out food before it arrived in the stomach while I was managing the kidney but it didn't get burped, is it only possible from the stomach "screen"?
You should take a look at the game over state - seems like it keeps firing and when I tried to read the "how to" it threw me out back to the game over with the SFX every few seconds
@bmanstudio health decreases over time no matter what you do, so you have to keep on delivering good nutrients to survive - you also lose a big chunk of health whenever a bad nutrient makes it to the end. It looks like bad nutrients reaching the end re-triggers the game over screen even from the menu which is what was kicking you out of the how-to-play screen, thanks for letting us know and I hope it wasn't too annoying :smile:
I enjoyed the game though and with a bit more tutorial to sand over the rough edges it would be a very great entry!
P.S.we also did a game about organs :D
i wish there was a way to navigate between floors with keyboard arrows for example, or with mouse scroll, to not have to click on the up or down buttons.
I also felt like I had very little time to respond to anything happening in the liver and kidneys. The kidneys in particular could have had a slow effect on things moving through the pipe there to help with this. Having only one station on each screen, no screen change shortcuts, and rapidly falling matter between screens was very frustrating.
