Help your patients help themselves. Delay the inevitable by taking out their organs and letting the patients' immune systems fight off the germs for you. Don't leave the organs out for too long though...

This was really interesting. I've never seen specifically gameplay like this, but at the same time once I got accustomed to how it all comes together, it was also pretty familiar. I wish there was an indicator whether or not I could place an object down rather than it just jump back to the menu if I was too close to the light grey track, and the beeping for the health of the patient was a bit annoying. Overall I dig the aesthetics a lot, and I found the game itself challenging and engaging. I'd love to see a full version of this.

Real gross!

I like the idea of a TD game where you move the towers around!
I wish the second enemy type was a "heavy" instead of fast though, they would always catch me off-guard.

Cool game

Ahaha, really cool concept, I like it :) Dark humour is really strong with this one (you save lives though!). Style is distinct. gives this feeling of something gross and not very legal going on :) Gameplay is pretty great too, I was glued to my screen for 20 minutes straight :) Thanks for the game!

Mh, realy a TowerDefense to use organ as a Tower fire?? Very strange Ideas xD

The idea is awesome! sadly the game looks kinda weird because u have to remove the organs from the path but i think it is for add and extra difficulty layer. Also the beep sound is kinda anoying when u play while long time.

Anyway, the idea is awesome and with some polish could be a cool game!

the presentation was great! I just wish there was some sort of music to listen to rather than just the beeping. I appreciate the option to turn it off though!

Neat concept.

The UI and stylization somewhat get in the way of the game in spots; like grabbing the wrong organ because they're too close to eachother in our fleshy meat sacks. I also found placement a bit annoying at times where I'd get it a bit too close to an edge and it'd snap back to the body. I would have rather it just snapped to the closest valid position instead.

Overall super cool take on the tower defense genre!

So addictive! :scream_cat: Can't stop playing this, this is amazing! 5 stars for gameplay!

Awesome idea! It has a nice twist, removing "towers" to stay alive! I really enjoyed it!

beautiful visual style, but I didn't understand how to play

Strange, confusing and extremely fun! Not sure, where you found all these people with liver instead of brains, but great job on that. And sound effects are just perfect. Loved it.

Lots of fun! I love a good twist on a defense game. Thank you for sharing!

We were considering a tower defense game but went another way because we thought it'd be too hard. You've inspired us for next time!
