To the example of having a circular bar on the progress of removing.\nI also didn't fully understand how long it takes before I can apply another dose; maybe more feedback on that could be nice.\nIt was very good to be showing when you get more points. This was really fun.\nLearning to play has these pros and cons. Just having space and a mouse as inputs helped a lot.\nI would speed up the scoring time a little after each stage, or allow it to be accelerated by pressing a button.\nThe game flow felt like it was done well. I felt challenged (I got to lose and win, so I held on to that).\n\n2 - Graphics, Audio and Narrative:\nThe graphics are very simple and serve the purpose of giving the idea of \u200b\u200bthe game (with the exception of the lack of feedbacks in some points already mentioned).\nI would suggest polishing the art from the point of view of the source used in case of project continuity. Perhaps with contour effects on the characters.\nThe audio was repetitive in terms of the soundtrack. It's funny in terms of the doctor's lines (hahahah).\n\n3 - Culture:\nIt talks about skin problems, crazy doctors, a challenge to click quickly (and other adjacent mechanics).\nI believe it is a relaxed game that brings together such references, which can make people laugh. :)\n\n4 - Monetization:\nI believe that (with the necessary polishes and extensions) the game can be sold at low cost in stores like itch.io or similar.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Adam Clayden","author_uid":"1140340","time":"2020-05-10T17:54:20Z","epoch":1589133260,"modified":1589133260,"text":"@gameovermexico @jimjarofthedice @joaog @alexander-wayne Thanks for playing!\n@fabula-rasa Thanks for your feedback!
