This is a superb entry! Very polished and the pixel art is gorgeous. Enjoyed playing this and rated very highly. :)

Excellent game! Probably my favorite so far for the jam and among the platform games. Good job!
sittaman27 Aug 2013, 03:00
Simply great! Loved the art style.

Great Job guys, showing some Scopely love :)

This is straight up awesome. Fun-filled 10 second bursts of pixelated action.

Awesome gameplay idea with those two guys and using one another death to your advantages. Graphics are in pair with gameplay. Very solid production. Congratz!
Snail_Man28 Aug 2013, 16:37
Nice platform puzzler! I really liked the mechanic!
madk28 Aug 2013, 16:38
I won! The looks and the sounds of it were great, and I loved the idea. That level with the three guys and lots of mines was insane, though.
Blecta28 Aug 2013, 16:39
Graphics are awesome ! Music is also cool and the concept is fun. Very good entry :-)

This game is quite amazing. The art is beautiful, the music fits in well, and the theme is incorporated very well. My favorite so far.

udo28 Aug 2013, 16:48
That was great fun to play, a classic idea well executed. The graphics are amazing and the soundtrack is pretty fitting as well. I only wished there was a way to skip the intro text when you're repeating a level anyway. Other than that, flawless :)
naufr4g028 Aug 2013, 16:56
The game is excellent and I love the art style.
Puzzles are really well-designed.
Sure one of the best games of the contest. :)

Great pixel art and pretty cool mechanic too - nice job!
Brian Stegmann28 Aug 2013, 17:02
That was fun! Loved the dark humor of having to sacrifice some patients to get to the antidote, lol. All around, a solid entry.
RoyBatty28 Aug 2013, 17:05
It's okay, me. I'll sacrifice myself for me. :-D

Excellent presentation - great pixel art and music. Game concept is clever and fun. All round pretty good.
Alexander Ponomariov28 Aug 2013, 17:10
The game without a doubt is cool! Nurse in one of the levels - inspired and gave strength to continue the plight of the clones! One of the few very appropriate to the theme! Well done! Keep it up!
TheCze28 Aug 2013, 17:13
Great job! Got stuck on the first level with 3 characters (I think I know the solution but am too clumsy). At first I thought "another game with a 10 second long level" and was really blown away when you introduced the second character.

raver28 Aug 2013, 17:15
Great game! Not so hard, not so easy - just ideal platformer.
rpmoura28 Aug 2013, 17:17
Great game!
kristof28 Aug 2013, 17:21
Interesting gameplay, a bit confusing at times. The music is just awesome! Fits the fast gameplay very well. In the first levels, the dialog at the start was a bit annoying. Overall a great entry!
OkayHughes
OkayHughes28 Aug 2013, 17:21
Wonderful. It was difficult to get used to switching back and forth between the characters, but that was my issue. The last level had just a little bit of an annoying factor, but besides that the design was superb. Wonderful implementation of the theme. I've seen a few other "10 second life" entries, but this one was the best implemented and most interesting.

esayitch28 Aug 2013, 17:29
A subpar entry... very bad...
... just kidding :P very well styled, polished, and arranged... a beautiful entry, realy... I found the concept of sacrificing a patient to save another disturbing, but otherwise it's one helluva game for 72 hours :P

Well done.

Really nice and solid entry! Really dug the pixel art and sounds. Clever use of multiple characters.
bitserum28 Aug 2013, 20:21
Really like this, nice work. Only thing that bothered me is that I couldn't speed up the doctor's messages early in the game.
Mekuri28 Aug 2013, 21:01
Very beautiful game. I really loved the graphics. Overall a very good game!!
fgielow28 Aug 2013, 21:16

Art style was great! The font feels a bit out of place though. Wish the intro text could be skipped.

lekochen29 Aug 2013, 00:26
Highly polished puzzle platformer!
spitfire8729 Aug 2013, 00:35
This is brilliant. The theme is really well fitted in this game, and the swich player mechanics are really fun. Some levels are a bit frustrating.

FYI, the doctor dialogs are skippable by pressing a number! (1-9 to spawn a character) ;)
matthias_zarzecki29 Aug 2013, 04:07
Great platoformer! Love the artstyle and the humor of it all. Gameplay feels punchy too :)
namrog84
namrog8429 Aug 2013, 05:17
No way to skip dialogue? I was done reading it and couldnt skip.

I loved the art and animation style and player characters
BenWhi29 Aug 2013, 05:26
Yeah, this one was a LOT of fun! The only complaint I had is that you can't skip the dialogue at the start of every level, but that was just a minor inconvenience. Graphics + music great!
ratalaika
ratalaika29 Aug 2013, 05:37
good job.entertaining game
Nick Weihs29 Aug 2013, 08:15
This was actually really addictive hah. I only managed to get up to the 2nd or 3rd 3 man stage but I gave up because for some reason jumping near the corner of a ledge kind of didn't work sometimes? maybe I was falling off of the edge slightly or something : (. Fun Though!

truiton29 Aug 2013, 08:32
The graphics are great, the music is cool, a fun game :)
DarXnake29 Aug 2013, 10:50
Thanks for the comments guys !

Please, read the description, you can actually skip the doctor's dialogs by pressing a number key, spawning a character with the number you choosed ;)
panurge29 Aug 2013, 12:54
Great concept, lovely art style and graphics, smooth controls. I did feel sorry for my little dudes! This is a very polished piece of work and I really enjoyed playing it.

Reaperguy29 Aug 2013, 12:56
Really love this one, the only problem i had was that sometimes the game just completely stopped for a second or two. Otherwise, one of the best games out here :)

Great idea, art, and THAT MUSIC. Really love the soundtrack.

This should get you to the top lists for sure :)

Really, really cool. Got tired of waiting for the text to pass though.

Elrobo30 Aug 2013, 02:02
Loved the art/animation. But switching characters with the number keys wasn't very intuitive when time is a factor. Also the dialogue should have been skippable just by moving.
Diptoman
Diptoman30 Aug 2013, 04:25
I'm sold. The art, the sounds and the humor in this very polished. I absolutely loved how the doctor yells "Next!" like its so trivial XD
Great job on this! :)

PeaCe30 Aug 2013, 09:00
Wow, one of the best games submitted here!
Ossi30 Aug 2013, 09:25
Love the graphics and music. The controls were solid and the multiple people with different lifespans of 10 seconds was a fantastic use of the theme! Super challenging game! The beeping of the mines seems a bit too loud and does get annoying since there are so many of them beeping at different times. Fantastic job though!
Hypnohustla
Hypnohustla30 Aug 2013, 13:44
Loved the enviroments and the chiptune music! The movement felt solid enough, but the animation of the player sprites seemed to glitch every now and then. But overall a great entry :)
The Evil Cult30 Aug 2013, 14:49
Nice entry! Very nice graphics and solid controls. I found the levels with mines to be a little too punishing though compared to the rest of the game. Good work overall though!
Almax2730 Aug 2013, 19:40
Nice pixel art. :)

Made it to the 3 character level. loved the music, graphics were really well done. extra points for innovation cause you used multiple characters. must have been hard for a jam.

Probably one of the best uses of the theme I've seen so far! The music is awesome!
klianc093 Sep 2013, 17:25
"You are going to die in 10 seconds the remedy is in the other room... NEXT!" - I guess this doctor isn't going to have any patients anymore very soon...
Just gorgeous pixel-art really love it, and a very solid platformer.

My only gripe is the character explaining things. That is until I realized I can press a number key to skip.
Very good work with the game!

infernet895 Sep 2013, 20:21
Awesome game! I really like the mechanic of multiple characters, and set the time limit to 10 seconds each add something that make you hurry to solve puzzles.. Very well done, five stars deserved.
Sascha7 Sep 2013, 01:10
Amazing entry! Concept, gameplay, graphics (loved the little details), and music are all extremeley high quality. Great work!
