Triage Mania by Vernon

Interesting idea with realistic use of theme, I like it.

I wish there was some visual feedback to your actions though. Sometimes I would move wrong doctor without knowing which is selected and patient could die.

Good job!

I'm just starting to review your game now, but before I do - wanted to let you know that you have a folder in your executable download that is called "LudumDare43_BackUpThisFolder_ButDontShipItWithYourGame". You might want to remove it from the build so that the download is 30MB instead of 230MB :)_

Cool idea for the theme! It gets pretty stressing after a few minutes, which communicates the theme nicely. Despite the stress, it was eventually not very challenging - I managed to beat it on my second attempt (after understanding the mechanics on the first one).

The interface was not very intuitive. Before I read the instructions (right click on a doctor and then left click on a bed), I clicked around and couldn't get anything done. Why not use left click for everything? (left click on doctor, left click on bed, left click on notepad)
Also, would have been really nice to add some kind of indication of which doctor is selected.

I liked your interpretation of the theme, I had a hard time understanding how to interact with things. Still, great job getting this published for the jam!

Thanks for pointing out the unneeded folder in my zip @matank I removed that and published a new zip without that folder.

That is an original interpretation of the theme! I like the graphics and the idea itself! It would be great to have some music and sounds :)

Good use of the theme. I feel like the lack of music and sound fx made it feel a little boring to me. I also wished there was some more feedback in-game for when things happened, like patient death (took me awhile to figure out that tiny bit of green at the bottom = death).
