If you think your body has it easy trying to keep you alive, then why don't you try doing it yourself! In "It's not easy being me" you use your life, the blood in your veins and the air in your lungs, to keep your body alive and kicking. As organs grow you'll struggle to keep up.

Good luck!

Instructions:
- Your heart pumps blood around your body.
- Your lungs fill blood that passes through them with oxygen
- You must supply organs with a constant supply of oxygenated blood or you'll die.
- Hold the left mouse to mark new veins for creation
- Veins will be made when blood arrives at the site
- Hold right mouse to delete existing veins

A note on the WebGL version: I provided a WebGL version to play if you don't want to download anything. However, at least on my computer the performance is kind of bad and the graphics aren't as good. If you do have the time, I would highly recommend downloading the windows version. If you do want to play it on WebGL, please full screen the game for the best experience. Some of the GUI elements got messed up when it's minimized.

Changes:

04/29/2019 - Fixed bug in pressure calculation that caused poor performance, especially in WebGL build.

04/29/2019 - Fixed bug where, due to pressure floating point truncation, blood would stack in veins.

I found this game reeeeally chugged down quite quickly. Not sure what was going on, but it made it hard to draw veins since it was stuttering too much to make a continuous line unless I moved the mouse very slowly. Interesting take on the theme though.

@rsim Out of curiosity were you playing on the webGL version or the windows version? Thanks for letting me know :).

@rsim I just uploaded a fix that *should* improve performance. Thanks for the heads up!

Nice work! This is the first one I've played for more than 20-minutes. It was fun trying to figure out the optimal strategy. It is really hard to get more than 3m40s!

Fun game. Like the idea. Kept me going for a while :) A little bit fiddly to draw with the mouse, but maybe that was intended?

This is a very unique concept with a really unique strategy component. Great job!

Took me a minute to understand, but once i got it, it was pretty addicting.
