Click on the heart to create a blood cell and deliver it to your limbs without bumping into your veins! Save your limbs before they turn blue!

First time making a game with unity so spend most of the time figuring out how things worked. Hope you enjoy and find it frustrating but fun!

Cool idea, needs a highscore of some sort!

Wow. What a fantastic idea and game, and nicely on theme. It would have been nice to know if I was progressing towards anything, or how many points I was scoring while in-game, but that's me being fussy. Brilliant!

Does it ever end? Anyway, really cool mechanic, the whole game screems of urgency when the limbs are about to become blue! Very nice work!

Nice idea!

Wow, it's hard being the circulatory system. I really like how the camera control works -- feels really well tuned.

Ok, who needs feet anyway? They are way too far to get the blood cell there! :D

Nice work, a really original use of the theme. It makes you feel more nervous as time passes, adding pressure to the player very effectively.

But it's way too hard for me, that waist is too thin! Haha

Awesome job! :D

Once I got the hang of it it was actually a challenge and somewhat fun!

Wir29 Apr 2014, 15:14

AWESOME idea!!!

WeaselZone29 Apr 2014, 15:17

Really fantastic idea, well made. I'd love to see where one could take that game!

Any rules/tutorials will be nice for it)

nice idea, nicely done, quite hard but it built a good sense of urgency

That was awesome! Super simple and really fun!

javifugitivo30 Apr 2014, 16:22

Yeah, a highscore would be fantastic, very addicting game!

I loved the idea. It had the "right amount" of frustration. A very simple, yet original game. Good job! - The heart beat sound did get a tad too annoying when you were about to fail- Good job!

Great idea and very nicely done.

Oh wow! that was stressful lol very well designed tension!

You're a very talented game designer and developer. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

Best idea so far. I love the art too. You die pretty fast so it wasn't immediatly obvious to me that I was doing the right way. Maybe successful actions should have more visual or auio feedback. And I agree with the first comment: it needs highscore ranking.

Interesting idea and fun, not sure the difficulty balance is quite right, but I suppose that if you made it easier there is a small risk the player could play indefinitely.

Good entry. :)

So this is why my feet are always numb.
