I love this game, simple but fun to play, and so funny. Also can't be mad about that funky beat!

This was a great theme. Very funny! Also a very challenging game but very well executed!

I like the premise of the game. I would have liked to have seen more ways to fake being a surgeon. Audio was catchy and pixel art was nice. Good work!

THIS MUSIC IS A BOP

Also love the animation, and the different notices of termination. This is phenomenal.

I LOVE this. Music is great, animations and concept are funny, and the gameplay works smoothly. Well done team, I had a good laugh at this and played it for longer than I should have.

Clever and fun basic game mechanic. The aesthetic of the game is great: good humor, fun mood, established through excellent sound effects and an upbeat music track, as well being a spot-on example of quality pixel art. It'd be great to see more words added to the game.

This music slaps. My favorite part is the spirit of the theme. Well done.

Very funny, would be a solid start for a typing of the dead sorta thing with more words. Or maybe there are more words and I'm just terrible at typing.

This was great! I really liked the music and art style, and I had a lot of fun trying to type as fast as possible. Maybe you could add more words and funny stuff for the doctor to do to the patient!

@cornsyrup @fc85057 totally! I'd love to add other jank things like using a stapler, super glue, etc to keep mixing up the player with different words. Thanks for the feedback :)

Today I learned how to type ducttape at 10wpm. Man, I'm still bopping to that beat.

Really funny and great music!
Even thought we are required to type a set of letters I still managed to err a lot haha

Fun game. Music takes you. After first try I get to push the buttons with the music tempo. I think pixel art could be a bit better.

This game concept is amazing. I love the different termination messages. And the music is incredible. Really fun game!

Great idea for a game! Love the spin on a typing game. Art and sound were fun and created a solid, lighthearted mood. Would like to see more of this, nice job!

Fun idea. Like others said I think more words would have been awesome, but it worked well and was a joy to play.

What can I say, idea is dead simple, gameplay is hilarious and challenging, and the music is fire! I very much enjoyed playing it. Honestly, the idea can be expanded further - adding some more bizarre keywords, or even more levels (professions), ending up with a short, ridiculous and fun visual-comedy-based game. So yeah, good work!

Ah snap! Wasn't expecting to see another typing game in this jam, you should check out my entry if you get the chance!

I really like the theme of being under qualified, I thought the duct tape was really funny and was vibing the bass line whilst taping him haha, good job!
LDJam user 015 Apr 2022, 12:53
This was great lol, I kept laughing and having to move to that banger of a tune while really feeling the nervous tension in my body when I just about made it before someone came along, or worse, when I mistyped or got caught and that sound effect spooked the heck out of me 😂 Really liked this, so well done!

I don't see how it's unethical if it works?

Surprisingly fun.
The music fits the pace perfectly, and the art matches the tone of the game.

Overall a fun entry.
