Type the words to keep the liver going. Don't wait too long to finish one or it'll EXPLODE!

Click the kidneys to inflate them back up. Don't let them get too small or they'll EXPLODE!

It gets super hard when the liver comes out XD

A little feedback on sound: the sound of heart beating clashes with the music (drums), making it a bit unpleasant

Oh wow! Was not expecting this, this was fun. Made me giggle.
I thought I was doing pretty well and then the liver appeared. :joy:

This game is genius! I like how each organ has a different kind of task to perform. I feel like the difficulty spike when you have to start typing words could maybe get softened a bit by making the words shorter. Good concept, awesome graphics, well executed, just a little hard :wink: thanks for the game!

Could be the most educational game of the weekend. I agree with the note about the other sounds going against the music.

Well done! Fun! Gets quite hard when the liver makes an entrance. Nice graphics and a wonderful concept!

Just like my organs always behave. Thank you for this great simulator of reality and life as I know it! Really fun!

This was super hard. Managing a bunch of organs with the mouse - I was afraid to tend to the liver!

It was executed well. The organs really felt alive, while they were alive.

Nice idea.

* Classic frantic feel of way too many spinning plates in the air. Nice!
* I wish there was more warning before a game over happened, my reflexes are not fast enough :laughing:
* The different sound effects for when activating an organ is cool, helps give them each a unique identity.
* It would be neat to give each organ it's own audio indicator for when it was about to explode, so you could hear what needed attention.
* not sure if it's intended, but you can just hold the space bar to keep the heart pumping in between typing out liver words.
* The cheerful music contrasts nicely with the frantic pace of trying to keep someone alive.
* Nice work!

People are talking about the liver but they don't even know about the stomach...is this Dark Souls?

Some balance tweaks and this could be a great little minigame! I think the different kinds of controls are very satisfying (typing, spacebar, clicking)

A quick tip from a fellow JS dev, you can use `window.location = "";` to refresh the page (maybe put that in an onclick or a button press at the end of the game?)

Holy cow, this is great. Very challenging and fun. It would be a fun arm-twister if you played co-operatively on one keyboard.

It's a very cool game, graphics is very good, and it gets quite hard quick quickly but I like it.

A multitasker's dream! Too hard for me, but great job :) positive ratings!

This is really well done! Reminds me of the "Type Your Heart Out" game I made for the Global Game Jam back in 2013, where the theme was the sound of a heart beating. Your version is way more fun than mine!

This game is definitely unique but I found it really hard especially when it came to typing as my typing skills are not the best. Lol maybe it'll help me improve my typing because I want o keep playing it till I beat it.

So hard! But found it very enjoyable nonetheless, I think "made me giggle" is the overwhelming vibe to come out of it :)

Really fun game. I laughed hard when the first organ exploded lol. Starts simple but gets very tricky when you have to type the words. Good job!

Oh yes, nice one!

It starts easy, and gets really tricky to handle.
My only gripe would be that I don't know when the person will die (is it because they were coughing too much? Is there a life bar hidden somewhere?)

Othewise a fun idea, well executed. And damn is it easy to panic when you see the lungs are about to die!
Congrats!

Nice idea :). I felt it got a bit too hard too quick, though.

Great job! A little tricky to figure out at first, but I like the multi-tasking aspect of it and the artwork! :slight_smile:

What a simulator XD Funny game!

Maybe everything should be controlled with the keyboard... Maybe not. Also, it would be nice to have some indication of the limits always visible -- a "healthbar" is the most obvious, but it could be a contour for the lungs; gradually filling the heart with the darker shade (arteries as "healthbars" ;D) etc.
