De-livery by Sylf

[raw]
made by Sylf for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

Is it hard to keep your liver healthy and live a long, happy life? Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to control the cells in your liver and protect yourself from being de-livered (in the worst sense).

Your character (he is from Liverpool, by the way) loves to indulge in junk food, alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs - things that can seriously harm your liver. But don't leave your liver behind! You have the power to fight back!

Just drag and drop the cells to battle against these toxins and try to reach the grand old age of 80! You can move cells around to evade enemies, build different tactics using attacking cells, shield cells and healing cells.

Show those harmful toxins who's boss of this liver! :muscle: Снимок экрана 2023-05-01 в 20.44.49.png

Made it to 65! Fun game, it can be a bit hard to see what is going on when you have sheilds/heal/attack in the same areas. Also I'm not entirely sure how shields work.

I wish I could control my own defence system in real life like in this game. But not today *drinks a glass of wine*

Game is trully captivating and puts to the test your management and defensive skills. Educational time-killer, in a way!

Wow, how strange, game about my inner world... err, I mean, cool game! Funny idea and implementation, liked your pixels too.

Good game ! Love your pixel art especially the dark attack on the liver.
Original, props for that.

Another game about livers!? I only made it to 42, so I commend this game's accuracy. Looks really good! I only wish it had sound effects and music (if it did, ignore this. My audio might be broken on my end).

Took me a few attempts to get the hang of it, but I ended up getting to 67! Needless to say, the game would have benefitted from a little introductory tutorial about what each cell does, but other than that it is a pretty fun arcade-esque experience!

One of the best entries I've seen so far! Fun, challenging and with great graphics :) I got to 63 at my second attempt, it was pretty hard ahah

21, 41 and 45. Hope I myself do better.
I like the gemplay idea. If I had to point out 3 things, it's that it tooke me a while to figure out I can move my Defenses once they are placed and that it is not too easy to see when a new Defense is realy to be placed. Yes, they do fill up, but the last rows of pixels are hard to see. Some visual feedback when they are ready would be nice.
And lastly I can't believe we didn't think about the Liverpool pun. I cannot guarantee that I will not steal this idea and transdform our bar into a pub located in Liverpool :D

The visceral mood is very well done ! I think the player needs to play a little bit to understand how the gameplay works but it is quite simple in the end. The visuals are very creative, well done !

A nice little twist on the tower defense genre. Good job.

Loved the vfx and art. Funny take on the theme. Gave it a couple goes and got to live to be a septuagenarian.

This is an excellent jam game! Love the twist on the theme. Audio work was good, but a bit repetitive at times, some randomization might help. Wasn't immediately obvious that I needed to drag the cells.. no way to cancel a drag either, and often the cells end up elsewhere. Overall the game was extremely difficult, farthest I could get was 50 years. Might be nice if the cell limits were reduced a bit or something. Noticed a bit of lag when the game ended as well, but no big deal. Awesome work!

Of all the delivery puns, I never thought of relieving someone of their liver! This was really well done! I'm bad at staying healthy though, all my livers died way too young ;_;

Got to old age! Interesting concept. I liked being able to re-drag things already placed, and found the idea of healing specific spots that take damage interesting, as well as cells losing health for running into the enemy. Made the game an interesting placement puzzle. Nice work!

It was a little difficult to control exactly how I wanted, but it was a very unique idea! well done

Challenging but interesting! Wish it was a little more clear what made the deployed units degrade

Pretty nifty, sorta like tower defense where you can move the towers. I also appreciated the wordplay in the name, heh.
