I'm not personally fan of the "edginess for edginess' sake" thing you've got going on and I'm pretty confused about the story. Am I hallucinating these mutant babies? Why can they kill me, and why did I have the shotgun pre-pill? Or did I give birth to them? I wasn't visibly pregnant and I feel like that might violate the first law of thermodynamics with the amount of babies being produced. But I suppose other lesser-quipped mothers-to-be in this hospital might be experiencing the same thing and that's where they're all coming from?

Anyhow...

The pixel art in the cutscenes is great, but it feels like a bit of a mess in the actual game.

I'm not sure if there's anything new after stage 3 or so but I'm assuming not and that's where I tapped out. Some sort of doom-esque music might have kept me in a bit longer.

Absolutely not for everyone 🫠

Ended up running out of time to fully create everything I wanted. Music, gameplay, cutscene sprites, and fully fleshing out the story; were cut short (new Path of Exile league). This was my first time working through all the various state transitions, ui, and rapier; so the majority of time was spent learning about that.

Thanks for the play!

You got me with the great title!  The gun kick is really satisfying and I think that is the most fun I've had in this style of game.  Nice work!

Not a bad idea, has potential! I didn't see any side-effects in the game itself though, seems to only be a part of the story leading up to the game. Gameplay is fine I think, however, the babies seem to be crawling on a floor with soap on it as they slide around :D

Fun game! But i found a bug where my character got stuck in the wall and therefore I could only move near the wall.
