An organs-in-a-jar sandbox with accurate-looking physiological properties. Pump blood to the lungs! Or not! Drag veins around and see them wiggle!
Almost as disgusting as playing with the real thing.
Technology: JavaScript and WebGL. Spring-based soft body physics with an RK4 integrator. In fact, we developed such fancy tech that there was very little time left for implementing gameplay!

Enjoyed the graphics and the general concept. Needs more player feedback, moving the veins around wasn't as sadistically fun as it should have been.
Wow! I love it so much!
It has everything I like : beautiful drawings, innovative mechanics, sciences and its opensource WebGL
5*
I want blood to blast out when detaching the veins!!1 :P
I love the technology on display here! Everything feels nice. I agree with the other commentators that it would have been cool to have more feedback (blood, screams? flatlining, what have you) but I understand the tech taking a while. Super cool!
Nice overall theme, but it's a little hard to learn and play.
Awesome concept, physics and graphics ! I have trouble understanding the consequences of my actions though :(
Nice style, it's fun to attach and drag veins from one place to another, although I don't really see the consequences of the mess I'm doing to the poor guy.
Nice visuals and liked the visceral feeling of pulling veins out but couldn't find a reason to keep playing more than a minute or so. Experience seemed to be lacking purpose.
Awesome experience. I disconnected everything and still stayed alive, so I guess there is no lose/win condition. Good job with the physics, graphics and atmosphere!
Frankenstein in first person... Awesome idea!
I like the wobbly body physics, they're awkwardly appropriate, and the general appearance is quite pleasant. Some interactive sound would have been gross... I mean, great.
I seemed to make at least some substances move, but no life emerged. I imagine this would be awesome if you had managed to implement some more gameplay! I hope you'll make a post-compo version! :)

Mini Submission FAQ
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.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
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 at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
It looks great
