Story:

In a world where people have spherical shapes, you are *the* hard-working heart surgeon known to mankind. You can do heart transplants in an instant, you're just that efficient.

You love what you do, but the hospitals where you work at aren't too great with their room-layouts. Operating tables are scattered in the buildings. Now you need to not only transplant hearts, but also find the patients!

Anyway, have fun with this silly game.

I interpreted the theme as you as a surgeon only get one heart to make one person better. The original owner of the heart cannot also get a heart to survive. It kindof grew from there and in the end had multiple patients, which doesn't fit the theme as well as it did ;).

Great! The world needs more spherical people!
Nnly complaint is that the difference between donors & recipients wasn't too obvious, at first.

I love it! The hand-drawn characters are cute and the controls work well. My only gripe is that I don't really see how it ties into the "You Only Get One" theme.

I really like the movement and feeling of speed. I think the concept would be alot better if the goal where to get through a map quickly meat boy style. That would give the sense of satisfaction when you where done and replayability!

Nice game. The bouncy physics were really fun, though the jump button could be intermittent (I think I was just off the ground or something) but this wasn't really a problem in practice.
The sounds fit the game really well.

Cool, but for some reason the walls and such don't load, won't appear. I can play the game with invisible walls though...

I love the movement and the sounds. The game design (use of the theme especially) could've been better.

I found the controls pretty frustrating at times, and the levels would use indicator to show you where to go, but it's an interesting take on the platformer genre.

This is absolutely hilarious, "whee" "owe" "yay." My main criticism is that it didn't have more game play elements, but, still this is fantastic!

That was fun! But after a few levels it gets repetitive. And it's not very challenging.

Very fun and a cool idea. I liked gameplay a lot. As someone else said having more gameplay elements would be cool. There is a lot of stuff you can do with the concepts. The sound and humor was also enjoyable.

A very interesting theme, hard to pinpoint. The mix of organ donation and happy go lucky sounds and facial expressions strikes a very good chord. A very unique entry.

Haha, silly game. A bit too easy for my taste. Might need a timer or something. Hep - ouch - ouch - yeah!
