Task Surgeon by Zyger

[raw]
made by Zyger for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

Task Surgeon is a surgery style game. You as the player need to complete multiple operations throughout the game. As you progress through surgeries, you have to delve deeper and deeper into the person. Can you complete all surgeries without failing ?

The way this game works is simple. You have tasks in the left hand corner that tell you what to do. You can only complete the tasks in order so just make your way down it. You then need to click the organ that's on the list and then a task menu will open up. Every organs task is different but they are fairly self explanatory. While performing all these tasks ensure to keep watch of the persons blood on the right. If this reaches 0 they die and you lose. When all tasks are completed the surgery is successful and finished.

This game also features a tutorial for anyone confused :)

-there is no blood and the graphics well aren't too graphic. They are drawn on my tablet and are cartoony.

!CREATED BY ONE PERSON! All of the programming was made by me. All of the art was made by me. The Majority of the music and Sound effects was made by me. The background music came from epidemic sounds under a licence.

Awesome, I like the minigames, though I always fail the kidney fill. A lot of work done in such a short time!
I also like the voice over intro.

I love this game! So much polish and fun. Some of the levels are too difficult with the times (especially with the kidney refilling). The artstyle and humor are great!

Not bad! But feels a bit repetitive after a while.

Genuinely love it! It's super fun, the visuals are really nice (although the post-processing kept enabling by itself between levels) and the amount of content you've managed to put in there in just one week-end is really impressive! One of the top submissions for sure!

That was a lot of fun, I liked doing all the little tasks. I wasn't sure how fast to click for the heart though

A lot of fun! I loved the art style of the game and the whole idea of it!
One thing I did realise is that I basically ignored the task list as the relevant organs would glow so I already knew which to use!

A really fun entry!

This was so much fun! I loved the artstyle and all the different mechanics for each body part! I had a little trouble with finding the right heartbeat rate and filling up the kidneys kept going very slow so I never filled them up in time, but all the others were great and I'm a big sucker for game jam games that use minigames :) The tutorial was great too :)

Also my daughter thought it was great and kept shouting the body parts to me to fix :D Great work!

My husband: I look over at your screen, and see you cleaning out lungs *with a sponge*

Me: Yeah I'm playing among us inside a person.

Dope minigames, love the art and all the joke notes around them, "You're breathtaking." :laughing:

Awesome! Reminds me of Surgeon Simulator, except this has totally different gameplay. Great art, great sound, great music, created by one person but WOW they all feel polished! Each level is certainly lots of fun! I wasn't sure how fast should I click on the button to resuscitate the heart though. Also after I killed the patient and got the "Murderer" achievement, seems like all the other levels got unlocked.

Great game!
The visuals are just so polished! Really love this!

Anyways I just wasnt able to do the kidney filling in time :/
I would have love a "Restart" Button, too. To go through the main menu over and over again was a bit tedious at times..
And the misarranged level selection threw me of the first time xD

Alltogether a great game, that could need some refinement. But nothing to crazy to complain about in a game jam!

Pretty fun game, the art is very neat. I liked the variety in minigames, but they really don't feel balanced, in that some are very easy, some are really fiddly, and some are basically impossible (like how the kidney one takes an entire 30 seconds to fill). The progression, with levels also feels unnecessary, with the minigames just repeating. I feel like this would be much better with just a endless mode, where it throws minigames at you and speeds up. Overall, very nice entry, great art and sound, and great work on this original jam entry.
