You must keep the Beast alive, from the inside. Threats will enter and harm the Beast, you must remove these threats and ensure it stays healthy.
Using your magic you must heal the organs that get damaged, remove poisoned food while feeding it the safe leaves all while destroying the parasites that attack it.Screenshot (7).pngScreenshot (6).pngScreenshot (5).png

You have three states of magic use, each can be activated in different ways.
E= Lifting
You must use this to lift the food to the stomach or the poisoned food to the disposal area.
Q = Bolts
You use this to destroy the parasites that enter the Beast
Right Click = Healing
The organs are damaged in different ways but are in constant need of healing

Space Bar = Floating
You have the ability to conjure a disk to float around on to better traverse the Beast

Hey i like the creepy vibe! I keep just floating around and getting stuck too though :( Some instructions in the tutorial would be good!

first of all thank you for sharing your game
i do like the reddish art
My feedback for you would be to make the goal more obvious. For me it was a bit unclear even thoug you made a tutorial (it kind of stucked for me at "press e" and never showed me anything else to do?)

I love how you can avoid falling if you continue to walk, unintentional humor; it's great you submitted something!

To everyone​ trying out my game thank you! The tutorial does seem to be not functioning as intended and I will fix it when I can, as well as the floating issue. Thank you for the feedback, it is really appreciated!

First of all, i just clicked on your game because i saw a realistic looking heart. We kind of had a simialar idea here, but interpreted differently :) Needles to say, that i love your use of the theme. Good hob on that. Besides that, i felt a little lost at the beginning. The game needs a few more animations so the player can get some feedback on his/her actions. Also any kind of sound would have been really nice.

Cool idea. The anatomy of these creatures is interesting :laughing:. Good work, seemed like something crashed when I accidentally fed the beast some poisoned food.

You had lots of good ideas!

When I got how everything works, it was fun! some cool ideas. Of course a few bugs and the perspective could be telegraphed better. But after a bit of after jam polish there could be a really nice game!

Interesting concept.
joberman21 Apr 2020, 23:23
Love the concept! Hit a bug/loss condition a few times when trying to dispose of poisoned food (either in stomache or disposal area) where game would freeze. Enjoyed it enough to hard refresh a few times and try out diff levels :)

The concept is very interesting and fits the theme well. The graphics are also really cool! It was kind of hard to tell what was going on at first.

I like the graphics, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

great concept for the theme, I love the heart, you can add some spooky ambient sound to improve overall feeling. first times always a struggle keep up the good work

The game is interesting. I encountered a few bugs but other than that it seems like you had a great idea. Just a bit more polish, add some sound and it will be great! Great job.

I wish your game was more stable. I'd really like to play longer. The visuals and theme looks really nice.
PerpetuumMobile22 Apr 2020, 23:23
The graphics are cool, and your concept was an interesting way to achieve the theme. I'm really missing some audio tho

Concept is really intriguing.
Like others have said, audio would be a huge help, and maybe tightening up the controls a bit,
but well done!

Take on the theme is interesting, and the little organ animations are very sweet. Like others have mentioned, I was getting stuck too. Sometimes jumping was a bit dodgy, so it would require a bit of polishing. That being said, great job!

It's clever to use the theme. In the process of playing, I always think of my fragile body. Impressive!

Cool interpretation of the theme, but I do think it would benefit from a functional tutorial, or better in-game feedback on how your actions affect things. The controls felt good though and I wanted to play more!

Seems interesting, but I couldn’t figure out how to understand what to do :( How do you keep track of the health? What do you do with the leaves? (I tried to send the poisoned leaves to the bottom left but it just freezes the games) How is healing working? Also, on the second level "The Pillar" I got stuck on the left wall.
