Took me a while to understand how I could sell my first organ. But couldn't figure out how to get more bodies afterwards.

I like your take on the theme and how it contrasts with the cute art is.

My first thoughts are: this game is fun, humorous, and I feel it could entertain me for hours.

Interesting concept, managed to get my 2nd tank and tried to bankrupt myself, surprisingly difficult hahaha. Enjoyed your game! I'm impressed with how you scoped it as a 1 man team.

@sgtweirdo I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm actually really happy with what I managed to squeeze in there. I think theres only one idea I had that didn't make it in. I appreciate the compliment!

Stock market - now I'd love how you manage that logic behind that haha.
I see a multiplayer version of this haha.

It's fun - and you got the proper harvest topic done! :D

Nice take on the theme, I was quite getting into the alien organ harvesting fantasy. The electro interpretation of moonlight sonata kind of made it for me. Characters and art style was cute too. I was confused by my ability to move things around, but after i did I couldn't seem to interact with them properly... so i put them back and then they were ok. Also the use of ESC clashes with having the game full screen in browser which was a shame as I wanted to fully immerse myself in the alien lifestyle. The little mini games were fun, after a while if feels like a bit slow to go through the whole cycle to line up the next body on the slab and get on with it. All said, I had fun a sweet experience. Thanks for helping me live out a fantasy i never knew i wanted.

I spent a long time playing this (3 tanks, 3 freezers, and all tools except brain) Fun. Just insanely fun. Hate the eye goblins tho. Only thing I would point out is that the freezers sprites stack, preventing me from accesing them. Other than that, this is insanely...

Fun.

Adorable how such a grim theme is mixed with cute characters!

Starts a bit slow to me, I had to roll for perfect liver and perfect market several times before I had enough money with safe margin to buy a saw, and then economy went a lot better. After that game speeds up.

Nice entry!

I love the gameplay loop! I agree that it started off slow, but the pacing was just nice later into the game. Nice job!

Pretty solid game across the board! I found myself getting sucked into it, I didn't realize how long I'd been playing until it was almost an hour!

My only complaint is that the eye goblins are too difficult. I found myself going for arms and legs instead, to get a more consistent income, until I got to brains at least.

I recorded my gameplay experience in this video,
your game is at the **0:30** mark:

Really awesome tutorial and a nice touch that you can rearrange everything. A bit difficult to get started as you don't have many choices early on.

In the end, I really enjoyed the game and its interesting take on the theme - although it took me a while to understand the overall gameplay-loop. The music was pretty cool, and the graphics are solid, if a little bland.
Very nice work, well done

Very fun and polished game, the start is a bit too hard in my opinion though.
I like a lot that you can move the objects around to customize the room

cool idea, the mechanics are well-defined and polished. Nice that you had to check the stock market as well as the respective quality to see which organs should be harvested. Theres a little bug that you cant interact with the computer if you are too close to a tank, but thats not a big deal. great entry! :)

Hey, I like it, the minigames look Undertaley :) the overall idea is great, but getting $1000 for the loans takes way too long in my opinion, I've bought every tool and maxed out tanks by the time I reached $300 and for the next 20-30 minutes I had to farm the money, the gameplay became repetitive. Also, is there any way to harvest the heart? I couldn't find the tool for it unfortunately. These are my only complaints, but I've been having a lot of fun discovering the new harvesting methods. I like the stock market mechanics and the fact that it is possible to rearrange the room to my liking. Very cool :)

Very fun game. A nice addition for the various minigames you need to finish to actually get the organs

Cool entry. Takes too long time to finish, but I had my fun cutting organs nevertheless!

Nice game. Probably needs some balancing in the early game took me quite a while to get the bonesaw but after that the progression felt quite good.

This was a morbid take on the theme :joy: I think you did a really good job with the core gameplay loop of checking the market, harvesting, and prepping for tomorrow. I found your mini games to be all pretty hard (maybe I'm just bad lol). Overall a good entry! Keep on making games :smile:
