and I got to beat all my patients with a cane, 10/10 good medical treatment, thanks obama.
I enjoyed playing your game, it's just the right level of hard, it took some time getting the bottle arch right, but maybe I should have used the flash more, though it's less fun.
The sprites are crisp and fitting, I liked the doctor outfit with his blowing robe, good job on that.
I wouldn't recommend using the WASD keys as it is MUCH harder to use the attack keys of "ZXC" right below them. I would have even disabled the WASD unless you put other, right keyboard side keys to go with them.
overall the game is very amusing with the animations of the happy people being cured, well done.
Good job!
Tiny bug still? I'm pretty sure I got the win message at 97/100 cured - was on 95 when I did the healing flash, curing 2 and leaving 3 on screen, next thing it was black screen with message.
Very fun. Great feel and graphics. Also great engagement with the theme.
I'd love to see this expanded somehow. Everyone loves upgrades!
I liked the upgrades. Bottle felt kind of wonky, sometimes it hits the ground and sometimes it falls of the screen?
One thing that was kind of awkward - music hits the epic finale just when I'm running around the level looking for the last few stragglers.
I had a good time with this. Good job!
