Careful Now by Orangy Tang

[raw]
made by Orangy Tang for LD28 (JAM)
It's a busy day at the hospital and you need to diagnose your patients then create a cure for them by mixing together the correct chemicals.

Be careful though, as you only get one shot at trying to cure each person, so try not to kill anyone.

Careful Now features:

* Realistic fluid simulation! (maybe)
* Accurate cack handedness simulation!
* Physics!
* Thrilling clipboard management!
* Chemistry in action!

Careful Now is not for consumption for children under 5 years old. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If cack handedness persists after closing the game, see a doctor immediately.

oh no, i spilled all the.. wait what was that again :). Very fun way of interacting, but a bit difficult. I can already imagine this with gesture input..

Really great concept and the artwork is very nice too. I found the exaggerated motion of the hands was too exaggerated for my tastes, but overall a great entry. Good work :)

Bonus points for innovation and humour. Loved the patients faces as I slowly and methodically killed them off with my potions. I couldn't tell what I was doing with mixing,so just ended up giving people straight from the shelf and seeing what happened. Excellent control system haha. :D

This was totally unexpected :o doctor on a killing spree :D
Really nice physics but carying objects properly was hard. I tried to hold with both hands with no luck. The heating mechanism was cool - it will be nice to have some visual feedback if the liquid is heating up, you can throw some dissoluble pills too :)

Very fun, I really enjoyed "accidentally" killing off my patients.

Very difficult, but a very fun and funny game. Might have killed five patients, but I see it as ridding the world of incurable disease before it spreads!

Good concept! and it was too hard to control hands) and it was difficult, cause i don't know which liquids are in each bootle....

Lol loving the surgeon simulator-ness it had to it, good idea, pretty fun even though I couldnt cure anyone. More visual feedback would be a nice way to let the player know what can interact and what cannot.
