Congrats on your first submission! I agree with the others, a cooldown for the water would add some peril and decision making to the game. Nice work though and good luck. Hope you continue on after this jam.
Interesting take on the theme! As commented below, once I realised I could just keep spamming sleep/drink the game could've gone on forever. Still, fun idea, keep it up!
I lasted beyond 100 seconds! On theme for taking medication to flush out parasites. I think I cheated a bit as I was spamming Q and Shift to clear the "medicine" load; perhaps a cooldown between each press would prevent that! I think this game could get really hectic (in a fun way) and challenging with a few additions (e.g. new parasites/body part after a certain threshold, exponentially increasing medicine load with each successive dose, cooldown on water and sleep etc.).
This was a cool idea! I found it difficult to play, because of the lack of feedback. It was hard to tell if what I was clicking was having any effect at all. Cool little game though! Liked the medicine bottles lol. Keep developing!
