Extra information about your game
Created for the BASIC game jam! Programmed in QBasic and QB64!

My theme is fruit, since this game is all about the fruit of the womb. See what I did there? A little play on words. It's about womb fruit, not plant fruit. WOMB FRUIT HAHA!

Use the -/+ keys to change the speed at the title screen. It will probably run too fast on newer high end computers.

Controls:
Tap a direction arrow to move in that direction. You can move diagonally by tapping a direction 90 degrees from your last direction (ie: tap right then tap up to travel up and right diagonally).

Space bar brings you to a dead stop.

Which theme did you choose?
Fruit

Which BASIC did you use?

Hello...I have played the game today. It is an interesting  action game. Yeah.

The background music is excellent because this music creates a suitable atmosphere: players are in outer space. Besides, I like the woman voice. This woman voice guides players through environments, hints at events to come and helps to create emotional resonance in players. 

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

What was your high score?

Host

Wow.....I really didn't pay attention to my score while I was playing.

I only concentrated on these aspects of the game: gameplay, creativity, graphics, sound, polish, interpretation of theme, etc. I wanted to judge every entry accurately.  

This was my favorite game in this Game Jam. :)

I loved the use of full-screen and the voice-overs were fantastic! -- a great use of audio. 

The graphics are pretty standard, but it was easy to determine what things were.

Controls were a bit unconventional -- it felt hard to maneuver with precision. 

My  High-Score was 22.

Great job posting the instructions on the opening screen!

Good game loop.

Overall I'd give this game a 4/5

Developer

Thank you very much for your kind words!

Only 22 (twenty two) for your high-score though? That sounds... Not right. You should easily be getting a score over 100.  My highest is 253.

Perhaps adjust your speed - you should be able to manoeuvre around the white shots from the gonad cannon. If they shots are moving too fast for you to dodge, try reducing the game speed with the plus and minus buttons. :)

Cool game ❤️ But what is 'Multiplier' mean?

Developer(+1)

Thanks! The multiplier increases score. So if you collect one Fallopian Pod your score multiplier is x9. Meaning you get nine times the points you normally get. This decreases with time. So if you play quickly, and minimise the distance you travel, you will get a much higher score.

Well, the flavour text is somewhat strange, but the game is nice. The recorded synthesized speach output (Is it that?) is funny.

It took me some time to understand that I do not need to hold down the arrow key, but press it once to change the police's velocity.

Developer

Thank you! I used Google Translate to synthesise the voice. I typed English text into the German text box, and a German woman's voice attempted to phonetically read the English.
