Somebody mixed up the medicine! 

It sure would be easy to figure out which ones cause which side effects if you could do something scientific.

Unfortunately, you're fresh out of time, and even fresher out of control groups!

You'll have to come up with a clever way to deduce the answers.
There's a short tutorial in game.

CONTROLS:
MOUSE - Click and Drag to interact with various things.

Had to look at the comments for a solution, I'm not a true winner :(

hi. wasn't sure how to contact you since there's no twitter on your itchio profile, but i wanted to let you know that "Side Effects Include:" was featured on the Indie Hunters Best of 2020 stream. it received mentions for "Best Puzzle Game" (45:50)


Nice short game. made it!  Thanks a lot!

spoiler here is a guide give everyone 1 special to them 2 people should have something different in common so middle guy should have the same as the guys but the guys next to his should only have one thing in common to those 2 the should all have on common and one will be left out like this

For all of those wondering, you have to leave one out because there is no other combination of side effects that is available, and you would use the process of elimination to figure it out.

very good game. I love it.

This game!!!! It was so difficult but rather enjoyable! It definitely reminded me of science class and testing for anomalies and similarities. I had to write down information too(more for my own sake than to solve it). I appreciate you putting the colors above the subjects though that helps in double checking. Overall, it's a fun but challenging game! :)

fun little experiment. i like that your games require some thinking. excellent presentation and polish for a jam game. great work!


Nice, had fun trying to solve this!

Hah, great animations and voicelines, once again. The puzzle is a pretty fun combinatory challenge, though what I liked the most was the absurd comedic vibe of it all (like, Donatello is a side effect? What??) 
All in all, nice game.
