You are a medic trapped behind enemy lines on an unsuccessful mission. Travel from level to level
reviving your fallen soldiers. Approach a fallen soldier and you will start healing them. It takes about a
second to fully heal someone, so don't get spotted! Enemies will shoot you on sight.
Once you've secured all your comrades on the level, head to the lit up door to progress.

Overall I found it enjoyable. If there's one thing I could complain about its that I think the difficulty ramps up too quickly. Good work though!

Nice little game! I would add some speed though, as it feels quite frustrating walking so slowly :P Some walking animations would be nice

Nice game! A game where you need to think! It's hard thought. Nice work.

Hi there. Bit too sudden death, but like the healer as player - generally heal on MMOs so it's nice to see this... Nice atmosphere. Good job!

Nice idea! I liked being doctor and to rescue a soldiers lives.

Challenging since you die so easily, but fun.

Nice twist on the common shooter. I couldn't get past the third screen. The guard really does shoot on sight.

Nice game, it'd be nice if you could see the enemies range as they move, and if you had either more HP or you could restart on the last lv you made it to

Very difficult! A little too much so, but the various options while playing was fun, nice job.

Nice thinking! Healing was a nice Idea to make a nice game and add a stealth effect! Pretty nice!

Overall, I liked it. Some small polish suggestions: allow me to press spacebar to restart just so I can keep my fingers on the keys. I would've played farther into it if I restarted that level instead of all the way back to the beginning (died on L3 3 times). Changing "rooms" slightly breaks the theme for me, but in general it's really good for a couple of days!
