I also liked the graphics and the music. The idea seems pretty nice too, not too quick but still fitting the theme. Along with jumping, the doctor's line of sight seemed to be too hard to avoid though, so I didn't really get that far.
That was a truly fantastic game. Not to hard, not to easy. Funny, fits the theme. Good art decent sound. Good job overall. :)
Excellent work. The only real complaint I'd have is that the jumps tended a little too much towards the pixel-perfect side for my tastes, but otherwise it's hard to fault.
this is a really awesome concept and you turned it into a awesome game.
Really really nice visual design. My only gripe is that the player takes a bit too long to accelerate. Nice work.
Haha the ending was cool! It was a fun game, loved the music, great job!
Really nice. I've always wanted to play Jeff Goldblumm in a game.
NOT NEARLY ENOUGH VOMITING FOR MY TASTES. AVOIDING DOCTORS/10
Really like the opening screen and the concept. The controls were a little messy. Specifically going up stairs with the up arrow I often held it just a little too long so I would end up back downstairs. After I finally figured out how to get past the doctor I almost got burned by this. It was a funny moment though. Well done.
The game won't run for me :_(
Any ideas on what could be the reason? (Win 7, x64)
Ow, poor guy. :P Cool idea! The platforming mechanics felt a bit off and unforgiving though, and sometimes it was hard to know what you could and couldn't jump on. Pretty graphics and really nice colour schemes. And the animations are really smooth. Nice work!
Haha, druggie adventure.
It's a little difficult to jump high enough, and the slow acceleration makes it a little less gamey than I would've liked.
Graphics are great, though!
Nice job!
It's really well made, the only thing was the jumping mechanic was a bit off to me.
Well done. Foreground and background is difficult to distinguish. Thanks
Solid entry, nice visuals. Not too fond of the audio volume mix and the jumping mechanism doesn't feel so great, and the game is a bit short. But it still works quite well, and the "check-point pills" are a sweet idea.
I can't get it to run on my Windows 7 SP1 machine. When I try to open it I get the waiting cursor for 1 second and then nothing happens. It's really too bad, as the screenshots look really promissing.
jumping was painful, but good work with checkpoints. the art is clean and nicely done, but kinda lacked identity. great job with the stealth element.
made me remember an old friend who died from overdosing on clonazepam last year. and the nights spend together with my ex coming off heroin before her trip to prison. about a lot of nasty stuff from the old days, actually. I think I am going to get drunk tonight.
It's slightly too hard for me, but I must say it's wonderfully done!
Love the graphics.. and for me then the game is halfway home!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I really liked the visual design! The music was simple but nice. Jumping did not feel as responsive as I normally like, though.
