I really like that old-timey flickering effect. I want to know how you did that.\n\nJust a couple nitpicks before I give this a full score. On the operation where I had to remove both kidneys I removed the right one first and then when I went to remove the left it wouldn't let me so I did the right again and the left kidney swapped out with the right one and removed the right one again. Also, in the last operation I removed the heart and nothing happened. I don't know if there was supposed to be an ending and the game just broke, but if there was something else I didn't end up seeing it.\n\nNow for my score:\nOverall, I gave it a 5. I thought it was a well put together project, and I'd love to see it developed further.\n\nHumor and mood are such easy categories that seem under utilized in LD. 5's for both of those.\n\n5 on graphics. Again, I feel like a lot went into this. If this was all made in the game jam I feel like I have so far to go. I love seeing stuff like this and just thinking \"I will probably never be this good\".\n\nI gave audio a 4. I liked the music, but I didn't really think it stood out. Not a bad thing. It does what it's supposed to.\n\nFor fun and innovation I did 3 and 2 respectively. I did enjoy the game, but as far as mechanics go I would've liked to see more game play than just \"click to do thing\". When I think innovation I think innovative mechanics first, then theme second.\n\nAgain, I really did like this and would probably play this if it was a full game (or at least watch streamers/YouTuber's react to it :sweat_smile:).", "format": "md", "likes": 1, "spam": "N"}, {"id": 904177, "author_name": "Vipaka", "author_uid": "vipaka", "epoch": 1673321419, "text": "The UI design on this game was great!

Also probably one of the better applications I've seen of film jitter and grain I've seen in an LD game.\n\nThere's a very fun dynamic to be had here with the sock character pulling you along into increasingly more strange and dangerous scenarios, and the artstyle of a more palatable 3D body with the most egregious wounds covered by stylized paper or comic art was a really neat idea.  I feel like in such a short time you managed to put together a very stylish MVP for something bigger and I feel that there's a great commercial game and story just waiting to be crafted out of this.\n\nI did run into a couple minor bugs but all in all, the only complaint I really have is that there isn't more of it... yet? :eyes: I'm asking for more content because I enjoyed it, and definitely not because there'sasockbehindmeandhehasaguntomyheadohplease.", "format": "md", "likes": 0, "spam": "N"}, {"id": 906934, "author_name": "NoelOskar", "author_uid": "noeloskar", "epoch": 1673361796, "text": "The mood category was made for this game, amazing, i am usually to inpatient for story games, but this one, i enjoyed very much, i'd suggest a option to make the text move quizker when you press z though, would be nice", "format": "md", "likes": 0, "spam": "N"}, {"id": 909304, "author_name": "LDJam user 239741", "author_uid": "239741", "epoch": 1673385022, "text": "@anchorlight :) (but fr thx for the nice words! i plan on making some sort of prequel to this, if not as a game maybe as a comic.
