This game is literally so amazing!! Love it <3
Me and bro eating my grandma's dementia meds
NICE GAME BRO
its FUN to play! just like buckshot roulette
A good school bathroom simulator
i recommend it!
As a fan of Buckshot Roulette i can't wait to see more out of this game, great concept
Bug: When the other subject has one life left and destroys the last good pill while the player knows both two pills left cause death they kinda just.. sit there-
Great game, just wish the AI was slightly more smarter.
Great game! Adding more visual/audio/music effect after taking different pills would be amazing
Honestly was a lot of fun in my short time playing, wish I picked up on the tolerance mechanic earlier but I will definitely be keeping up on the progress of this game, very intrigued for what the future has in store
I think there's potential for Side Effects to present a fresh take on Buckshot Roulette type games but two things come to mind that I wish I saw:
1) Taking certain pills having some visual/auditory/gameplay effects
2) Balance changes. For instance in Buckshot Roulette, a new round of shots are made when there's only one guaranteed outcome (e.g. only live rounds in the gun). When there are multiple poison pills in play, I feel cheated by the game when I successfully avoided poison but now both of us got to take it
Randomly hit a softlock at some point, dunno what triggered the AI to just never take a turn, maybe it got confused with something or maybe some weird animation timings with prior actions are locking up the AI behavior. Dunno but I guess that means I’ve reached the better ending, we’ve both agreed to peacefully stop the experiment at the detriment of our employers.
Some other things to note:
BUGS
IMPROVEMENTS (I would like to see happen)
Might I make a small reccomendation; Have Pill combo's thrown into the mix cause different effect's As the rounds climb, I've noticed more and more pills are added to the mix to pick between.
Why not have the medicine act differently depending on the pill? Such as one Red + One Blue come supresses 1 death or causes the Green Pill to cause death after taking it; basically having medicine have a good reaction or bad reaction with each other.
Would very much like to see this be a mechanic of the game!
A must play for anyone who is into Buckshot Roulette or that similar style of gameplay, it has it's own unique style and gameplay that evolves how one would play and makes you strategize on what to use and how to use it and with only being a prototype I feel this game is heading in good directions!
very cool game, liked the idea of it and cant wait to see more!!
Pretty Cool game, Would like some jump scares.
VERY COO;L HGAME\\
FIRE! Please continue development
Really fun game, would love some extra Feature
Cool game but it depends too much on luck, at this level its just gambling with extra steps
I'm sure it will be more strategy based in the future, but for now I agree
That's the whole point of these type of games
This is only a prototype as well??? I thought it was a fully developped game xd
love this game <3
good game
we have one problem , one blue pil get block outside the screen like invisible wall
I literally love this game, It's so fun ! Whoeevr made this is a genius. <3
🚀 Complete Gameplay🎉
Its like buckshot roulette but drugs, its an interesting game tbh, hope to see more updates in the future!
I love The art style and Game mechanic, very cool.
