This is one of the funniest games I've played! It's really well made, good job!
I would've liked more tbh
Thanks a lot! Yeah I had more to add but unfortunately I was lacking time!
The game is great and also fun
This game is the best I've played so far! It's funny, difficult and overall a great game. My critique would be that the sound gets a bit weird when you click play and there also should be a "skip cutscene" button to skip the cutscene at the start
Thank you for your comment!
Yeah the sound is a bit buggy on the web player due to a too long loading time. With more time I would include a loading screen which should alleviate the problem.
You’re right, a skip button would be nice. Fortunately the cinematic is quite short.
I just didn't understand what i just played there. The game definitely made me laugh and the gameplay was fun too.
But the fact that you only have 1 life makes the game a bit frustrating. The upgrades after death didn't really feel like upgrades either, or i just dont get it.
However, the game looks really nice and the music is good too.
Overall it is a nice game. Good job.
Ahha I’m glad you liked it! It’s a bit weirs but I had a lot of fun making it.
I understand what you feel. I originally intented to give some sort of upgrade at each death. ith the lack of time I decided to drop the idea. I felt it would have been hard to balance to not make the game too easy. I put the boost button just in case it’s too difficult but the button gives you a small speed increase which may be too small..
Thank you for your feedback!
art is really polished
I really like the music, and the aesthetic/simplicity remind me a lot of old XBLA games like Geometry dash, neat!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your feedback :D
Really good art and fun gameplay. The intro is pretty funny xD
Thanks a lot! I had a lot of fun making it :)
The polish on this is really good, no bugs encountered whatsoever which is really rare in game jam games lol. Not really a game design masterpiece but still a really fun and well executed game :)
Thanks a lot for your feedback! I’m glad no bugs were introduced ^^
Very Fun, though its a little to hard for me to finish now
Thank you for your feedback! I agree it’s pretty hard. It’s easier with a gamepad thought.
Quite difficult, but still very fun game.
Yeah I agree! It’s easier with a controller!
I love the concept, and this is quite the “rage game” for me! Would’ve loved to see support under Safari in macOS, but worked really well with Firefox and my PS4 controller.
Bonus points on the controller, BTW.
I’m really glad you like it, thanks for your feedback :)
I didn’t know it doesn’t work in Safari. Did you have any error message?
Yeah, I love to play games with controllers and this one is so much better with a controller! Were you able to feel the vibration with your PS4 controller? I only tested with an Xbox one.
PS: I deleted your other comment as it was exactly the same. I must have been posted twice
Thanks for the reply! There isn’t a visible error when you launch the game (just a black screen), but when opening the inspector console in Safari, I get the following from
void_dbg.js:I suspect it may just be an exporting issue and not likely to be something with your game’s logic, since I was able to play under Firefox normally. I would love to provide the full traceback, but I can’t figure out how to copy it from the inspector. I hope this helps!
Ok thanks for the answer! I’ll check on Godot’s side. Just by the look of it, it seems to be an openGL error.
This game makes me mad. This is amazing. Would suggest having the egg start chasing the sperm after a few seconds, so that way the player doesn't feel irritated (any more) than they have to. That's the thing with rage games: don't make the player angry at the systems or UI, make them angry at the game! great concept and execution though! :)
Ahah so cool that you liked hating it!
I agree, I should have added a small timer or maybe make the chase start only when you press a button!
The game was nice and policed. It was easy to control and did it mechanic very well. The sound appears to bug out when loading the game scene. The biggest problem I ran into was forgetting to hold my accelerate down right when the game starts or I die immediately. The quick fix might be to not let the Egg start moving until the sperm starts moving are crosses a trigger point in front of it, this is also when the timer starts, so that if you do not immediately have to have the finger pressed and running. That or just make the acceleration happen even if not pressed like an infinite runner. But I enjoyed it great game.
Thank you for your feedback, I’m glad you like it.
It’s a known issue with Godot and web exports. Also, the map is a bit big so it’s still trying to play sound during loading. With more time, I would make a proper loading screen.

Nice game! :)
Little too much sudden death obstacles in the course for me, but the controls felt really nice :)
I understand! I was lacking time so level design is a bit rough, I have to admit.
Thank your for your feedback!
The visuals are stunning! The idea is original and well-executed. However, the gameplay is frustrating and doesn't really fit the theme (it's like geometry dash saying that failure is progress).
Thank you for your feedback!
Well, I understand your point of view. On the other hand, I think it’s not possible to finish on first try. So death is inevitable, and you’ll progress from run to run.. I wanted to add another mechanic like you gain something from dying but I thought it would be hard to balance and would result in a game to easy to finish were you just have to die a few times at the beginning. In the end, I agree there’s room for improvement.
Really like the artstyle and the game in general.
The only "bug" i found is, when restarting after you die, have to press the acceleration button while you click continue, otherwise you die immediately. I would start as soon as this button is pressed instead of with the continue button.
Thank you for your feedback! Glad you like it.

The level of polish on this is really amazing. Love the concept and humor also, and I'm preeetty sure this person needs to get her fallopian tubes checked out with all those bacteria in there lol
Thanks a lot for your feedback! I’m glad you like it, I was not sure it would be well received. I agree, turret, lasers and worms.. there’s something wrong there!
Very cool style! It felt polished but I didn't find the music fitting.
Great game!
Thank fou for your feedback!
Hmm okay, I guess it’s hard to discuss taste. I like the style of the in game music. I found it funny to have a very dynamic music during your escape.
nice visuals and the game was fun but the music did bug out a lot
Unfortunately I think this is because of the web player. It should work fine with desktop build!
Thanks for your feedback!
