As if Surgeon Simulator 2013 wasn't painful enough, the upcoming iPad version of the game will allow amateur surgeons to perform even more brutal operations. Protect your eyes and teeth, people, because if you don't they're coming out. With a hammer.
Surgeon Simulator 2013 quickly became famous after videos appeared showing the ridiculous, bloody fun. Originally conceived during a 48 hour period for the Global Game Jam by Bossa Studios, the result became so popular that they released it as a full game. They have kept working on it, even updating it with Team Fortress 2 characters, Alien Surgeries, and other various organ surgeries. They've offered up new challenges, such as one level that takes place on the back of a moving ambulance, or another in space with floating medical instruments. The gimmick here is that despite the game's title it's hardly a simulator- simply controlling the hand of the surgeon and doing the most basic of things like just picking something up is ridiculously difficult, so you end up performing all kinds of horrible mistakes, cutting people open in the wrong places and breaking ribs and leaving knives inside patients.
You know. It happens.
It's gloriously insane fun and it seems like the iPad version will be even crazier. It will be interesting to see how it plays- on the PC a different key controls each finger, with the mouse controlling the wrist, so it likely will have to be dumbed down a bit but hopefully still retain that same lack of control we all grew to love. Sure, people can get good at the game with practice but where's the fun in that? The dark humor here comes from when you slip with that bone saw.
Expect Surgeon Simulator to hit iPad shortly. Get that medical malpractice insurance ASAP.
