It is a fun concept and a nice puzzle, maybe different difficulties or adding 1-2 easier levels to get the hang of it would be nice, and a gauge-like display would help with the feedback of the drugs (which could broke on later levels to make them more difficult). But overall I liked it and I was really rooting for them to become stable!

Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it!

Interesting concept and art! Didn't really know what to do, I just spammed buttons until both were stable lol

Developer

I had a couple of friends that did the same lol! Thanks for playing :)

I didn´t quite understand if I was even pressing the right buttons or if these are even buttons. I think I would´ve loved visual feedback or even a small click sound for the buttons. But the idea is great and once I understood it I could not stop until I made it! Great submission!

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the feedback! Wilderose had also mentioned that some improvements to the UI could greatly benefit player engagement and make the game feel more fluid - I will be making sure to pay better attention to that on my next game :)

Very cool concept and I enjoyed the game! It took me a couple tries, but I managed to figure out the logic. The music was very atmospheric, and in general the aesthetics were great.

Thank you for the insights!

I'm not quite sure how, but I managed to stabilize both of them. The graphics are cool, and the atmosphere and sound design are great. Good job!

Pretty cool concept and use of the limitation! Played a few times to try and balance the two patients out (didn't get there in the end as the static hurts my eyes). The pill buttons could use with some sound feedback to let you know that you clicked on them. But honestly would love to play more of an advance version of this. Hope you continue with this idea!

Thank you for the encouragement! The UI was not as high priority on my list as the other assets, but I can understand the value the player could get from better feedback from the buttons (a glow when hovering, a sound when clicked, and so on.) I will make sure to keep that in mind for my next game :)
