Post-mortem
Description
Help Dr. Volop with his research. He has many different serums to test, but those pesky kids always try to resist. Simple one button controls, give it a try.
More details later. I'm tired. I will also be attempting an Android port in the 24h window, no promises.

I wish there was something to spice the gameplay a bit, otherwise it's just a timing thing. It gets kinda boring at some point due to how simple the gameplay is.
Interesting way to deal with the theme (using shots)

Interesting spin on the theme, I think you could've done more with it tho.
Biggest problem in my opinion is how repetitive the game is, there's basically no change throughout the levels, not even a slight difficulty increase or anything.
I liked the music tho, and the idea was pretty nice.

B-b-but... but there is difficulty scaling. In fairness it's not overt, but each time you inject a fool it gets slightly more difficult, the hands or syringe can get faster and the length of their tracks changes to make it more difficult.
It is super repetitive, not gonna dispute that. Thanks for the feedback :)

The game did the theme justice, one shot, literally XD. I loved the concept, and the idea of not missing that one shot lol. The music worked very well with the game theme for sure. That dumpster scene made me laugh when I saw it haha. The artstyle does help since the doc looks like a maniac and everything sells that mad scientist vibe.
Would've loved having different test subjects for sure. Good job though :).

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, different looking subjects was the plan, I even coded it and created the art in such a way to support this, but I just didn't have time to draw more faces and bodies. Glad you like the dumpster scene, that's my favourite part.

It's comfortable when there is only one button to press. In my opinion the artstyle isn't the best but you did a nice job with the animation when the persons hair got colored.

Haha! I LOVE the art in this! The little scene of the doctor by the dumpster was hilarious! Also the music was great! It had a lot of layers to it by then end of my time playing. The game play was simple but well done. Nice job!
