Short, sweet little game, good job! I loved the music track. It was a little bit unclear of what I had to do to stick the needle in the arm, but I got it eventually.
@Madk I'm not sure why that is. I'm running Windows 7 as well and it works fine for me. If you want to play, maybe you could try downloading the LOVE framework and running the .love file (included in the .zip)? Sorry for the inconvenience.
@Infernal & Ericdpitts I've updated the instructions on this page so that this hopefully won't happen.
Love the EDIT at the top, haha. As far as the game goes, I really enjoyed the music and color commentary from the assistant.
It took me a minute to figure out what to do, but I got it. I see that the instructions were in the description, but you might consider putting them in game, since most people are like me and skip over the details :)
It's hard to tell which one is the right one and wich one is the wrong one. I know the text is supposed to help identify, but it doesn't do well as the text flashes too quickly
I won! Have no idea how, because I just randomly clicked syringes until the patient survived. I never read what the assitant said (until it was too late).
The graphics, sound and implementation of the theme are superb, but it's not too much fun since it's too hard to make out how to win the game.
With better visual feedback the game would be great, like this it is "only" very good. I think that's ok for a first ludum dare ;)
Reading the description for this game made me laugh, so you get humor points for that. The assistant is funny too. It took me a minute to figure out how to discard a syringe if you didn't want to inject him with it, but once I got it, I got it.
It fits the theme nicely, but between lots of syringes, the assistant chattering and trying to decide I just felt pressured and annoyed due to so little time. Love the music though and the overall idea behind it.

Good job on your game though! Nice art!

Nice job.
(And goddamn, time to find a better assistant.)
Only gripe was the font choice and size was a bit small and tricky to read. Otherwise though, nice one!
