Leaves out some important parts of the human body

I love this game, but it leaves out a lot of organs in the abdominal region, like the stomach, intestines, liver, and kidneys. Sure, they’re included in the nerve center , but we didn’t get to see how it works. The only part of the digestive system that this game has viewed up close is in the mouth, Another thing is when the body parts are reporting to the brain, I noticed that the heart sides are the wrong colors. The right side, which usually pumps deoxygenated blood, represented as blue, is bright red, but the left side, that usually handles bright red oxygenated blood, is colored a dark purple color. I would like to have an update that gives the GI tract a chance to shine. Thank you for reading, and I still love this game.

UPDATE

I’ve only been playing this game for a couple of minutes and I love it. But I’m on the nerve system and when I get to the part when the day is done and you have to select the right square to move, I usually fail at that and when I go to fix the button, I CAN’T! I can still hear the ticking and I can’t do anything! So I then have to exit out of the app and go back into it and then have to restart! Please fix this bug in the next update!Update: Nothing was wrong in the end, I just wasn’t going something right

An interactive art/story experience

Such a beautiful game Art Deco style. Really fun and the animations on the little workers are amazing although they’re made of such minimal blots of colors. I love the music and the quirky storyline. The time-stamped social hierarchies made into a body corporation was a bit of a cliché, but that didn’t really bother me. I was in for the experience and was amazed at all the visuals and executions of the puzzles. I would dig more works by these creators. I love interactive storytelling apps, and I feel like this fits into that category. 5 stars for me!

Wonderfully whimsical but incredibly brief experience

First of all, the dialogue, ,artwork, and sound is fantastic. That being said I felt that the game lacked a certain substance. First of all, the storytelling and gameplay is very railroady, or to put it into other words there is very little freedom in the game. The gameplay constrains the player to follow thru with a singular solution. Now this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However the puzzles are not challenging enough for this and paired with the extreme brevity of the game, (I finished the game in half an hour), it ends up feeling like so much has been missed. I’d rather pay more money for something more substantive than pay any money for gameplay this brief and constraining. Not saying this game doesn’t deserve money, as it obviously took a good amount of work to create. But maybe for your next project if you can create something that solves the story and gameplay issues raised (railroady and short) while maintaining the charming quality of the art you guys may have a winner.

This game definitely needs more contentIt’s just 3 small and easy to finish chapters, and honestly I was expecting way more...They need to add a mode where you can just play normally without story, and do what you want.Or make more chapters, but this time, from the women’s prospective, and let’s say the man and the women married, and now you take control of a pregnant female, and you need to do stuff... you know? Add more things into the game

The good the great and the …

Amazing game, really wish Fritz Kahn could've taught my bio class. Really wish there was more to the game, in my opinion it was kind of short. Also one thing i would like to see is like a free play option, in which you can tap on a part of the body, and play with it without having to go through the story again. Also wish that eventually more chapters get added.Oh one graphical glich i saw was the dialogue with the ear drum, the text bubble kinda weaves through the outline of the woman speaking.

The great start to a game

It took me a few minutes to get into the ‘don’t tell them how to play, just let them tap around until they figure it out’ style of gameplay, but I was able to live with it. Then, the game ended! I was certain the the ending credits were the OPENING credits... I thought “wow okay there is going to be hours and hours of exploring strange interpretations of the human body, oh boy!” But then the game ended and too me back to the intro screen... so in fact it was the opposite: a small teaser that could be a great game if they made a game out of it! This should be the free trial app. Then we pay $2.99 for unlocking the ‘real’ content...

Great concept, very well executed, just one thing...

This game is stylishly designed, engrossing, and based around a very cool concept. I had a lot of fun playing it, and just when I felt it was just getting started, and I was comfortably in the rhythm of the games mechanics, then it was over! I really do feel like this has potential to go many more places, and I would gladly stick around for the ride! I hate giving only 4 stars, but they are definitely to cover the experience, just couldn’t justify the 5th with it being so short-lived.That said, thank you devs for running with such an interesting take on the inner workings of the human body, I am going to be analyzing everything I do from now on wondering what the little people keeping me functional are up to.! 😊

An interesting experience

Until I got to the sound section. Trying to sync up the music was infuriating. It seemed like I had the lines matching, but the game didn’t seem to register it. Trying to watch the lines as they moved to match them up gave me a headache and started to make me sick due to it moving too fast. I have been playing video games for 30 years, so fast animations and sounds aren’t something I’m not used to. I want to continue this game; it seemed like a unique experience. But, man, that section killed it for me.

Fun and exciting

Children of today will likely not remember Schoolhouse Rock classics the way I do. When I learned that Bob Dorough passed away, I immediately thought of the segments of Science Rock that explains the human body by imagining it with analogues in the real world. Now the same concept is taken to the next level, with interactivity, portability, translatability, and wider marketability, given how it was sponsored by both French and German organizations. I hesitate to give it five stars because I’ve reached only the end of the first chapter, but I am impressed with the puzzles involved and the well-paced story arc of the daily process of waking up and smelling the coffee.

Description

“… an amazing and intriguing game that's unlike anything you've played before.” Pocket gamer “Darjeeling has really captured the authenticity of Kahn's work” Toucharcade Homo Machina is a puzzle game inspired by the work of avant-garde scientist Fritz Kahn. Set off on a crazy journey to solve the surreal puzzles of Homo Machina and learn about the internal working of the human body, represented as a gigantic 1920s factory. In this narrative puzzle, players are plunged into an ingenious system of nerves, vessels and valves.

The aim is to help the body function correctly in about thirty steps or so throughout the entire day. Each scene breaks down daily acts, such as opening your eyes, chewing a toast or listening to music, through seamless navigation and intuitive and inventive gameplay. Fritz Kahn, a pioneer of infographics and popular science, came up with easy to understand analogies to enable people to improve their understanding of the human body. By combining old school design with a contemporary influence, Homo Machina delights with its clever dialogue between the absent-minded director at the helm of the body-machine and Josiane, his diligent secretary, encouraging players to put to task the armada of workers to get the incredible factory up and running. After Californium, Homo Machina is the new video game created by Darjeeling production. It was edited and co-produced by ARTE, European culture digital and TV channel, and Feierabend.
