I liked the interpretation of the theme here and the gameplay is somewhat unique. It took a bit to understand that I had to run the experiment with one of the medicines and then "grade" but when I understood it I was like "oh, duh". Would be interesting if you could administer drugs in specific orders to get it to react in the right way to get to a goal or something, but that might be kinda a different game.
Really interesting game. I had a fun time with it. One issue I had is that I felt like I was guess and checking towards the end. I had a hard time understanding “promotes a healthy appetite”. I think it was because I would normally expect a mouse to eat cheese even without any drugs.
One of my favourite interpretations of the theme so far! I love the concept!
I think that one thing I might change is to combine the list of beneficial effects and negative effects into one list, and ask the player whether a medicine improves or makes a particular effect worse. It wasn't clear for example, what the difference was between 'reduced anxiety', normal, and 'increased anxiety' - as far as I could tell, the rat was always scared of the cat except when the 'reduced anxiety' medicine was given.
it was hard to understand for me, but fortunately you provided some hints, nicely done. I wish this game had sound effects, the only missing part
Quite nice looking game. I really love the graphics.
The game mechanics are not obvious.
