Dr. Stress - LD40 Jam Entry - Submission Post by basti

[raw]
made by basti for LD 40 (JAM)

Dr. Stress is our submission for the LD40 Jam. Try to treat as many patients as you can by reading their patient sheet, choosing the right equipment and succeeding in one of three minigames.

But be careful, every patient you lose and every treatment you got wrong will raise your stress meter and therefore make your life harder, until the game eventually ends.

Interesting choice of idea, I would have never thought about a doctor in my mind when it came to the theme.

Great work, really does a good job of making you as stressed as the character.

Nice game! I got a score of 15. Nice music and visuals. The mini games are great. The scalpel one is the hardest.

Very awesome! The minigames got a little repetitive, but this would make a really fun party game like Overcooked.

You executed the idea very well here. The more patients I had, the more stressed I was to get them treated. Points to you for your creative implementation of the theme and the excellent execution of the game overall.

That was a lot of fun haha this is the first submission I've played where I wanted to retry after I lost haha. Great job, I loved the mini-game aspect that was really neat.

Okay. I'm a bad player, it's never the game's fault.
Nice concept! Keep it up!

Cool concept, would be fun if there was more of a need to remember multiple patient sheets at once so that you have to worry more that you chose the wrong equipment while playing through a minigame.

Fun! Not the most color-blind friendly, but I still managed to get a score of 170 :)

A fun concept! I should probably lose my medical license for malpractice, but we were very understaffed! I had an issue with accidentally picking up medicine and having no good way of getting rid of it, especially since you can't read the documents without empty hands. maybe some kind of trash can to reset?

Thanks @bobo-games! We were already aware of that issue, but that is a great and simple suggestion :D However, we want other testers to only experience the original version. We may update it later on :)
