This game really makes you read carefully! I kept wishing there were icons in the dialogue, or perhaps for symptoms to be colour-coded. I suppose that might make the game too easy even if it might look cool. In any case, wonderful job on the game. It ran great and was unique! Nice work.

I changed the character design in the middle of the process and I now it would work with visual clues.
\nSadly, there wasn’t enough time to improve it :)
\nThanks for your feedback!

The theme is spot-on and the difficulty is very good. I also like the effect when you add an ingredient to the cauldron. I am not a huge fan of the music, maybe a bit too nervous. Some sound effects, e.g. when you add the ingredient or when a patient dies would improve the experience.\nAnyway, overall a really nice game and I enjoyed playing it.

\nMy original idea was to assign numbers to the potions and describe the diseases as simple math operations. I gave up thinking it wouldn’t fit the theme very well.

\nIt feels like sort of a cooking game where you mix ingredients, but at the same time you have to remember the combination of which you make these remedies. That was an appealing aspect of the gameplay.

Sometimes i got just one disease 5 times in a row, so maybe a bit less randomness would be nice. The game could be expanded to slowly include more diseases, medicines and cures. Th graphics are really cute and the dragging mechanics was interesting too. The music is interesting but a little annoying (I almost didn’t notice there was music if I didn’t read the other comments)

The ingredients to cure a disease were random, but I cared to make them not repeat. I should have done the same with the diseases.
\nYou are also right, music was surely my weakness!

\nGreat job on this game! It was a fun journey and I liked the humor that you introduced throughout :)
\nHere’s my feedback on what you built so far:
\nOn the code side, I liked that you introduced eslint - it would be great to also see stylelint as well (I often see devs include one not the other, but it’s very helpful especially if you want other devs to contribute and have a standardized styling method)\nOn the game side, really enjoyed the humor - good work!\nIn the very beginning, I liked the concept and the “barber” piece - I wasn’t sure what the logo represented though or how it tied into the gameplay. Was that just an emoji?\nIt’s a clever memory game - I found myself frustrated (in a good way) when my memory started failing me. It could be a cool idea to introduce some sort of ‘look at the recipes mechanic that can only be used X times or has Y consequences.\nI really liked the graphics - it almost didn’t feel like only 13kb so good work on that :)
\nOverall, great game and great job! What’s next? Feel free to hit me up on Twitter/X @jedihacks to have a discussion!
\n"},{"at":349094566,"re":348880831,"author":"Michel Sabchuk","login":"michelts","gh":361492,"url":"http://turbosys.com.br","text":"For sure! Stylelint is a good idea! I started being a little more pragmatic about code quality but had to flex during the development to match the deadline :D
\nI’m afraid the logo you mentioned is really just an emoji. I was surprised as well what I could do with just a little SVG and CSS :)
\nI did it really for my daughters (9 and 11 years old), to involve and inspire them. That’s one of the reasons the game had a pt-BR translation for instance. My next step is probably turn the game into a math-based game: feels like it will be more enjoyable.
\nThanks you for your time and feedback!
