Anatomically Correct Human by Evan

Help this human get their food down. They need a toilet but it seems nothing inside them can get the food to where it needs to go. You'll need to go deeper and deeper into their body to bring them what they need. Relief.
How to play
- Click and drag on the tube just under their head to extend it. (assuming the "TUBES" button has been selected)
- Click anywhere on the body to place brains. Brains will help digest the food as they come near. (assuming the "BRAIN" button has been selected)
- Click anywhere on tubes in the body to place lungs. Lungs slow down food, but they require the food to pass through them for it to be effective. (assuming the "LUNGS" button has been selected)
- Hover over the silhouette in the bottom left corner to move the camera.
- The goal of the game is to get the human's feeding tube extended all the way down to the toilet.
- If you let the food escape the tube before it has been digested, it is game over.
Good luck!

Took me a bit to understand the game, once i determined the importance of brains, I started placing away..
Is there a way to reset the game after it is game over? I kept refreshing the page.
Is it beneficial to wind the tract about, or is it better to straight shot and spam brains?
it would be nice to have hotkeys for the buttons 1,2,3 mapped to tubes,lungs,brains.
Overall great job, was fun playing.
@beats Sorry to hear that :disappointed: I'm having trouble replicating the issue you described, any chance you could share your OS and Firefox version to help me debug the issue (if you don't mind).
@acuriosity Cool to see other digestive tract games! :smile: Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
@gamefive It sounds like you figured it out, but for anyone else, you need to "digest" the grapes to get more stem cells (ie. place brains down which shoot at the grapes).
@wanderix Definitely wish I had more time to get in a retry button, seems to be a common complaint. :sweat_smile:
Okay, well, if you want a real review, the controls could use a bit of work (it was hard to figure out how to place all the things, and the way the camera works is extremely awkward)
But then again... the janky controls didn't really impact my enjoyment of this. Like, every stage of coming to understand how this game worked made me laugh even more — from the goofy "Oh no i do not feel well" text that you're sure to get instantly, to the sheer number of brains you have to place, to the massive height of the human, to the toilet at the bottom... and then of course the "thank you i am relieved" once you finally figure it out. That was like... well, it was an emotional journey hahaha
10/10 would make anatomically correct human again
Some funny noises could improve this game.
+for anatomicall correctness :P
I liked the core mechanic though it wasn't exactly new, it was fun to try and figure it out and after a few retries I finally got it!
I wish the challenge curve would've been a bit more uniform though, as I felt that as soon as I got the hang of it I didn't really need to build any more brains or lungs and could just sprint to the toilet.
Nonetheless, solid entry, good luck! :smile:
Besides that, I love the quirky art style and the idea! Did anyone record the gameplay of your game, I'd love to see it! And I'm downloading another browser to try it out!
**Edit**: I'm sorry. It's me, not you. I somewhat figured it out. The problem was that I oversaw the giant "OH NO, I do not feel well" and I didn't get that this means "Game Over". I still don't get how to add tubes, but I will figure out this one as well...
