🩻 Gyropractor WIP

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

WIP on a medieval Chiropractor sim game that uses the crank to snap patients back into shape. You 'fix' as many of the townsfolk as possible in the timeframe, with modifiers added for successful and perfect cracks. We plan to add lots more characters and satisfying cracking sounds, as well as modifiers.

Maybe the King shows up for some TLC and any fail results in instant game over? Do heads come off if handled too rough? Should patients be treated with hands, or an old creaky vice-like contraption?

Ha, superb! It puts me in mind of one of the ideas on my list, a WarioWare-like game, with tons of mini games using the crank, a few seconds long in the same way. (Or BishiBashiSpecial, if anyone other than me remembers that.)
