Stumbling through Surgeon Simulator 2013

Here's another video! But it's not the one you're expecting. I put this together quickly this evening after tamakun posted about the game - I hadn't realized the full context of the game, or more accurately the lack of one. Far from being Trauma Center, it's a sort of... very darkly comic challenge, in about the same mood as if the man from QWOP gave up athletics and went to medical school.

Sound quality isn't fantastic because I was wearing the headphones around my neck, and they have begun to pick up the local radio as well, which is supremely annoying.

I'm aware that, being Shuu, I really don't come out of this well.

Ah! I've just completed it. I was actually disappointingly close to victory in the video without realizing it - all you have to do from there is do a better job cutting the arteries, then lift the old heart out, drop in the new one and that counts as completion. I was expecting to have to jigsaw everything back together once I'd done that, so the perceived insurmountability of the challenge is... not as dramatic as it could be - but bearing in mind the game was made during a Global Game Jam, it's not bad, is it!

Oh wow, I didn't realise that was the case! It's indeed not bad :) (Kinda makes me wonder why they bothered modelling all those other useless tools on such a short timeframe, but... maybe they originally had plans for them, that fell by the wayside when they realised the QWOPiness of the controls they would have to work with :P)
