I muchly agreed :D Although the mechanisms of pressurised systems stayed... so it's a bit unintuitive, even once you know what is going on...\r\n\r\nWaaaaaay from incomplete. Started this on Saturday 6pm after a first idea tanked badly. With most of my Sunday unable to jam due to prior commitments the game is just not quite there and not nearly as user friendly as I hoped (so like, gl figuring out what to do :p). Will work on it in weeks to come though since I think we can make something really cool with this. \r\n\r\nMight retry but with actual blood flow mechanics to fit the theme better. It will also then not be a shameless clone of a far better game! (if you like the idea check out \"The Bureau of Steam Engineering\", wonderful game!)\r\n\r\n\r\nProgramming by Richard Baxter (@raxterbaxter)\r\nArt by Dorianne Dutrieux (@damousey)","title":"The Compression Problem"}
