Blood & Sweat

The inmune system fights hard day and night to protect our bodies from disease and heal injuries. Try to keep every body part under control and don't let the injuries overrun you!

This game was made for the second quest of the SideQuest Game Jam, the theme was 'connect'. This is the first game I've made with Game Maker after just watching a few tutorials.

The idea I planned for the game initially included a lot more features, but later I realized that I just don't have the experience and knowledge required to implement them in a reasonable amount of time, still I'm glad I managed to finish something, even if it's simple and not very polished.

Some of the features I planned included:

• Virus that would spread from body part to body part, and you use white blood cells to fight them.
• You could use red blood cells to 'mine' some kind of 'currency' (something like metabolism) that you could use to purchase more red and white blood cells.
• Powers and abilities that help you keep things under control (e.g. A  'Fever' would reduce the power of a disease at the cost of some health, or 'Take pills' which instantly defeats a minor disease).

Every single asset is made by me, including the graphics and music (which is why everything looks crusty and the music sounds weird). Overall it was a nice learning experience, and a lot of fun.
