made by BitJester Media for LD 43 (COMPO)

Welcome to the Teddy Bear Repair Clinic!

Damaged teddies are coming in and you need to repair them before all of their LOVE leaks and and they die! You'll have to choose your battles because you won't be able to repair all of them.

This is absolutely outstanding. It's morbid and adorable and gets extremely challenging; the art is great and the animations are terrifically well executed. This may end up being my favorite game from this LD. Fantastic job.

This was really cute! I really liked the graphics. (FYI, you might want to update your download link to say that it's a web page/HTML5, that might get more people to play it.)

I love this! It's super dark, but totally wrapped up in an adorable package. Feels solidly put together too. Would love to see it expanded on if you so choose to.

I managed to save 15 teddies. I found I didn't have to sacrifice any though, they'd just expire without me doing anything (while I was attending to other bears, because I'm not a *monster*), I think it would definitely help fit the theme if you had to manually trash the ones you didn't save.

Some more tools would have nice too, but I get the feeling you ran out of time (I sure did on my game). Likewise, a bit more graphics (like a background of a teddy hospital ward) and sound (maybe some background music) but I also can't hold those against you since I didn't have time for any sound on mine.

As @mahalis said, I love how morbid and adorable (and morbidly adorable, if that's a thing) it is though, so great work and I think it'd be interesting to see how you could expand this in the future if you wanted to.

Cool concept! Maybe some sound effects for when a teddy dies outside your view would have been cool

Really neat little game. Graphics were cute. I really like the triage idea, but felt that I was more constrained by the time it took to do simple repairs rather than the number of available tables.
