Pretty fun game once you figure it out. Always fun deciding who gets to live and die lol. Great work!

This is pretty nice, I found it pretty fun. At the start, I was pretty confused, but I got the hang of it eventually. Maybe a suggestion would be to put the tutorial bit in the game itself, rather than below the game, because it's obscured unless you scroll down. Other than that, it was great to play, and some of the severity levels are a bit funny (ebola symptoms = minor???). But good job!

Thanks everyone :)

I've added a description to this page to explain it a little more, must've forgotten to add that when submitting.

Really enjoyed this. Conveys a sense of urgency really well. I had to stop after getting 3514 points.

I don't know whether the controls were glitching out on me or there was just no good graphical feedback but I honestly had no idea what I was doing - not so much in the "don't understand the rules" sense, more in the "I'm not clear on if what I intend to do is actually happening, or how to make it happen reliably."

Hi there. Chewed up loads of idle loop on Chrome/W8.1. Liked the idea and was looking forward to it, but UI was not obvious, couldn't work out what to do, blue/red crosses wouldn't drag, nothing changed with mouse clicks. Nice music.

I had fun, confused because there were no in-game help but the gameplay is really fun. First few tries my patients were dying like flies. until I found out that I can drag the doctors into the rooms then my patients recovered rapidly. Good concept! Curing the sick is one great core mechanic. Just ask Peter Molyneux ;)

Idea is good! Not very challenging as it is though and controls are a bit off (hard to hit the doors, sometimes get lift doctor from room when trying to lift nurse). Could be really fun with some more challenge and features to it (simultaneous patients, maybe different medical equipment needed for different afflictions, staff need to take breaks etc.).

I can't achieve this gameplay. Sry. But, graphics is awesome! Fancy style xD

I would have liked to do more actual "triage" -- once I figured out that a doctor and nurse could both help a patient at the same time, I scored over 2,000 points without even paying attention to the patient's afflictions or severities.

Good work :-)
