just a idea. maybe the creater could had game modes like sandbox game mode or easy normal and hard
W Game, has amazing potential. Keep doing what you’re doing!
I think i found a glitch. if the other person is on one tolerance and one heart and uses a hammer the game gets stuck on him idling.
They be letting you play the craziest games in the hospital nowadays lol This was great ! I had fun. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work !
creepy :)
tommower i am going to be posting a new game play
Ok right off the back I really like the subtle visions this game has. I will say the screenshots don't do it justice you have to play to see what I'm talking about. I also still have the background audio stuck in my head even though it's been like 2 or 3 days since I played it last
There isn't much to go in depth about in this review besides the fact that this game is stupidly easy. Like I played for over an hour and I changed the rules because of how the bot seemed to always go for death pill right off the bat. So in my gameplay I try to keep us both alive and I was able to make it to round 4 twice, maybe a round 5 is possible but I highly doubt it. I read a few comments saying that it was hard for them to win, there is a game in the comments saying he ran the first round 100 times and had to take the death pill 60 times out of 100, I guess maybe but still for me the bot most took the pill but the first round doesn't really matter anyway. Once you get items is when you really use strats.
TO DEVS....
Please make it so the cpu can't replicate your replicator because he will just keep doing it every turn. It is super annoying.
I actually told people on my discord about this game and a few a them played it and had a bit a fun and said the same thing I did that the cpu was trying to kill itself.
This game disturbed me in ways i never knew
yeah ,i felt the same playing it, sort of nerve wracking
The very first round is very much stacked against you to almost the point of always losing the first heart first. I ran 9 attempts and only 1 of those did I not get poisoned on the first round. It may seem like a small chance for you but the fact you go first makes it not so. It is 1/4 for you the first time, but the opponent it is 1/3. Not only that but you then have a 1/2 right after. So before the opponent gets it for a fact you have about a 70% chance of getting poisoned on the first set of pills
Just to make things fair I ran through the first round 100 times and survived 39/100 times meaning it is closer to a 61% chance of being poisoned the first round, which is still far from a fair chance. Best way to fix this would be to randomize who went first, unless the point is to make it more unfair for more of a challenge
weird you got that result. I played for over an hour and it actually felt like the cpu was trying to kill itself. The game was so easy in fact that I played a different way, instead of trying to win, I was trying to see how long I could keep both of us alive.
this game was awesome!! the inspiration from buckshot roulette is very clear and (in my opinion) excellently executed!! loads of fun without being overly difficult. thanks so much hi rohun, mr.pootsley, jaybooty :))
The computer opponent makes some questionable decisions (and that's being generous) but I like the game and hope to see it get some polish! (And some multiplayer, I love the idea of some of the big brain plays possible with the items...test a pill, it's safe, take another one and hope it's not death, knowing your opponent will almost assuredly take the last one of that type, which is the real death pill, then you take your previously labeled safe pill next turn and they're on the chopping block again...)
I beat it first try!
great game! my first playthrough the ai was a little sped and took a labeled death pill when the were like 5 other to choose from lol
I don't know if the devs really read these comments, but seriously, if you change it to four players instead of two, increase the tolerance a bit, and make it online versus, it'll sell like Liar's bar.
once when the ai's turn happened it didn't do Anything and I had to escape and start the game again, otherwise I found no bugs and the gameplay is great
really cool game, can't wait to see it finished!
Awesome game. I do wish there was a co-op mode though so I could play with my friend. :)
I like this game
drug abuse roulette
Me encantó el juego muy divertido y entretenido
I loved every second of it.
I replicated a replicator, which caused the AI to lose it's mind, and every turn that game he would replicate a replicator, 10/10 game
the game is so fun! Plus, I don't think anyone has ever got passed round 4 (:
Well done with this, very creepy models and fun physics for the pills. Very well executed (get it?) take on Russian roulette! I'll admit I got cornered into taking the death pill by Subject 2 and ultimately lost; He is well programmed and very smart!
awesome game really like the idea and enjoyed it a lot!
Me ha gustado mucho el juego, quizá algo que lo haría más interesante sería un modo de multijugador local, ello mejoraría bastante el juego.
im so pro chat
Nice idea. Its like russian roulette but without gun, instead using pills. Keep it up
Fun! The models look great, and the concept it interesting too, a fun take on this genre of game. I hope that you decide to add to this because it has some real potential! At the moment it's very short, though, so I hope in the future that more rounds get added to it or something. I'm also curious about what some of the lore could be. Anyways, great work, super excited to see more.
Pretty fun. Love the idea keep working at your goal!
Great start. I hope you build this out more. So much potential here. Minor issue: can't see own stats while playing, hearts are offscreen. Please develop this more. I would contribute more for a full game.
Really enjoyed playing this game, would like to see what happens to the surviving test subject. It's pure chaos and I found pout my luck sucks!
That's amazing, i love this game but subject 2 never choose the hamer
He chose it in my playthrough, funny odds i guess
NICE GAME BRO
This game was SO good I just wish it was longer :(
Bro no matter what i choose i always choose death! lol ...................good game :)
I loved playing this! Great stuffs!
