This is nice.

Submitted

The music was perfect for the frenetic pace everything was happening XD.

A very nice job :).

Submitted

Really fun game, but so challenging, maybe like in real-world :D

Submitted

Fun game.  I've been enjoying seeing all the Vampire Survivor-esque games that have been coming out.  Lots of potential here!

Developer

Thanks a lot.  I think we are going to see some lovely mechanics coming out of this genre.  Id love to see one where the fundamentals change on a cyclical basis.  What if they chase you and then next phase, you chase them, then perhaps you hide, or maybe a last one standing... Maybe a pure farming round for upgrades... Dunno...  Gonna have fun playing around :).  Anyway, thanks for the feedback :)

Submitted

This was fun! Such a simple concept but so challenging. That cutie egg face - too much!

Developer

Thanks :)

Submitted

I love the creative use of the voronoi shader, and the little lerping of your face in the direction you're going. It takes some decent technical knowledge to be able to do so much with so little, and the tiny thing about the face gave it 1000% more personality. When they're that cute, can you blame all the cells in the area for wanting to inseminate it?

Developer

Thanks. I'm thrilled you like it.  IMHO you totally deserve to win this Jam :)

Holy calcium oscillations, this one was good fun! I can't believe out of all these cats, I got a one! What a jerk! xD This was super addicting thanks for sharing it! (Oh and I played it on a wide monitor so full screen gave me some extra non-cell-background space to run around, which helped me I think.)

Developer(+1)

Oooo!  It looks nice wide screen.  Oh and yes, sperm can be jerks... Erm...  Yes, its based on the viewport area so those playing 4k or 8k would be laughing all the way to the bank... The sperm bank?  I'll get my coat

This game was really fun to play but wow those enemy spawns and rng felt like it hated me the only thing I feel like the game needs is maybe a enemy indication to see from which direction the enemy is coming from other than that it got me really hooked trying to dodge and kill the sperm cells so i guess you could say this game was exCELLent (see what I did there)

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it.  I wish I had caught the range spawn issue before release.  I really feel as thought it got in the way of a lot of peoples fun.  Ah well.  Thanks for playing :)

Submitted

interesting..

Submitted

Very weird creative idea XD. The gameplay is fun and everything works great here. Your game is a great entry! 

Submitted(+1)

This killed me, had a laugh when someone asked me what I was doing too hahaha!

Submitted

Liked this game a lot. Feel like the "perfect sperm" idea and possibility for sperm to spawn on you cuts into the experience but for the amount of time to make it, it's a game with a lot of punch!

Submitted

Autoshooters are just fun, and same goes for this one.   I think it's on the harder side with mobs spawning from top and bottom, and the height of the screen is pretty narrow after a minute or two.

Submitted

It was really fun to play. Only thing that was problematic for me was the spawn locations felt a bit unfair sometimes.

The feeling when you have been going for minutes and then out of luck a lvl1 sperm catches you and you are left with a simpleton for a son. Now I understand how I turned out this way.

Submitted

Really fun game, Challenging and I really like how cute the egg is, Well done!

Submitted

This was fun! The egg is so cute and the image of being chased down by a giant swarm of sperm was really funny. I like that it is related to evolution both in terms of reproduction, but also your character abilities evolving :)

Submitted

Had fun, definitely good for starting late. The sperm quickly become too many, but it's not impossible. I don't like the implications tho, it gives me eugenics vibes. Probably not on purpose but the idea of choosing the "best sperm" with the "best dna" is super fucked up. I really like the background, is it a shader?

Developer(+1)

Hey Banana Person.  Thanks for the feedback :)  Yeah, I guess the deeper meaning is the source of one to many dystopian society films.  I'm glad I'm not that deep a developer :)  The background is a texture with the following shader...


shader_type canvas_item;

uniform float tile_factor = 10.0;

uniform float aspect_ratio = 0.5;

uniform vec2 time_factor = vec2(2.0, 3.0);

uniform vec2 offset_factor = vec2(5.0, 2.0);

uniform vec2 amplitude = vec2(0.05, 0.05);

void fragment() {

vec2 tiled_uvs = UV * tile_factor;

tiled_uvs.y *= aspect_ratio;

vec2 wave_uv_offset;

wave_uv_offset.x += sin(TIME * time_factor.x + (tiled_uvs.x + tiled_uvs.y) * offset_factor.x);

wave_uv_offset.y += cos(TIME * time_factor.y + (tiled_uvs.x + tiled_uvs.y) * offset_factor.y);

COLOR = texture(TEXTURE, tiled_uvs + wave_uv_offset * amplitude);

}

Nicely done. Simple yet satisfying gameplay. You get what you have to do immediately and as the game goes on it shows a surprising amount of depth. And omg the egg is cute!

Submitted

This was incredible!! I love the humor int he concept and how it ties to the theme! The music was really hype and I thought it fit the gameplay and artwork really well, too! I love a good bullet hell and this was a great spin and approach to the format! Awesome job and great work!

Developer

Thanks so much.  I'm so happy you enjoyed it :)  And they said I'd go blind..... :)

Submitted

Simple to pick up and play and enjoyable too. Good job
