While using the detector in the game, I have observed that there is roughly a 20% chance that medicines become stuck on the left side of the table and cannot be selected. This issue appears to be inconsistent across players, as a friend of mine rarely experiences it. Please investigate and provide steps to reproduce, as well as a fix if possible. Thank you.
SIDE EFFECTS is a game with a simple mechanism but is very enjoyable to play. It's a game based on the simple logic of Russian roulette, played with pills, where you either win or lose everything. I had a lot of fun playing it, but it bothered me a bit that the patient on the other side knew everything. Still, it was a very enjoyable experience. If you want to see what you'll encounter while playing, you can watch my YouTube video. I wish everyone good games and good days. :)
Ngl, i loved buckshot roulette the first time i played it, but the music carried it hard. This can be much deeper, it's amazing, i can't wait for it's final form, what a good game man. AI could use some improvement (maybe a hard mode if you feel like it), but i love it, i will definitely come back to it. Good job man, GGs, luv ya.
In Side Effects, you navigate a bleak and unsettling psychological horror experience where reality and hallucination blur. You play as a test subject in a mysterious pharmaceutical trial gone horribly wrong. As the meds kick in, your perception of the world begins to unravel — environments shift, shadows whisper, and paranoia sets in. With each passing moment, you’re unsure what’s real, who to trust, or if there’s a way out at all.
it is pretty important to be able to always eat as many pills as you want in the same turn, otherwise it kind of defeats the purpose of the high stakes gamble that a certain other game with a shotgun had. cough cough
I've played some rounds in this game and it looks pretty good. But you should add some kind of pill or object that recovers health for making the matches more long.
Also i recommend you to check the AI of the game cause it sucks a bit.
It depends a lot in the luck, everytime it has the pliers it uses them no matter the health remaining and also i think it doesn't know how to use hammers.
Let me explain this last one. In one round it had 2 poison pills in desk, it was pretty obvius cause they were marked from a drug test. It had 2 hammers to erase them but it didn't use any of them. Instead of that it sallowed the poison giving me the victory of the match.

Pill Roulette :v
This was a fun concept. I enjoyed the idea and may explore this further later.
Very fun game i managed to get to the 5th round and unlocked the yellow pill
This is so fun and addicting!

Just what we need this time of the year.
Like the new update a lot! Found a couple bugs tho, which I'll put timestamps to below:
-3:16: Extractor text says that you set max resistance to 4, but it really sets it to 3
-13:33: Coin flip comes up as a smiley face, but OP gets to go first
-22:22: Round where the AI takes two known yellow death pills. There seems to be a bug with the AI's death pill logic when a set has more than 1
-2:28: Possible bug where when the coin lands on its side, OP goes first?
how much will it cost in full release (im in uk so if you can please reply with the price in £)
ok? that's not how I expected to go. I expect to see that prototype to indev. now a demo on steam? dang. fair play tho.
excellent jeu, je me suis amusé

Sorry, We are moving over to Steam. There's an updated demo there if you are keen to play!

VERY basic game as of now. like an Alpha Alpha Pre Build
bro used a vaccine with only one pill left (death pill) AI a mess

that fella's ai was wonky.
it did not use the HAMMER power-up. 6 times.
when it should use the HAMMER power-up.

Gimmie now, game is too cool
Very good game! It is a bit too easy tho
still too easy.
I beat that thing in 2 rounds. blue and red-white pills.
why am I so good at it?
this game is too easy.
that fella's ai is a mess.
it took a death pill. while it's on one life.
and one resistance.

クールなゲーム、気に入った

i complained about or rather critiqued the mechanics in that comment, but i wanted to say that im a huge fan of the artstyle.
such a good game
This looks like it came straight out of a Hydraulic Beanbag video
Couldn't win, but was a tense and clever mix of luck and strategy — thanks for the fun experience! 🎥 Japanese playthrough:
Looking forward to your future works!Great Game and Creepy characters :D
I'm aware of Buckshot roulette, I guess Beginners Luck :p
this game was very fun, will 100% be getting this game on steam
NO. not on steam pls?
Pretty funny game !

very true. you speak true words.
Lo logré ala primera, en verdad me gusto mucho este juego muy divertido
I feel as though the bot is programmed to win which made it less enjoyable for me.
skill issue
Well, I mean the whole point of the game is to win. Kind of defeats the purpose of the NPC otherwise, right?
yeah...
I enjoyed the game so much and creeped me out quite a bit as well! Keep up the great work.
I made a video on it as well.
Amazing game
