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 :)
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?
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!
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!
Thanks so much. I'm so happy you enjoyed it :) And they said I'd go blind..... :)
Simple to pick up and play and enjoyable too. Good job
Nice relaxing game, up until your screen fills with enemies! Nicely done, your game has very smooth gameplay, I also like the graphics and music too.
A fellow autoshooter project! Funny theme and fun to play. The music is nice and jumpy. I think the progression might be a little too slow with a lot of enemies filling the screen at some point. With no room for mistake it's pretty challenging. Good job!
Love the theme :)
Pretty cool game!
I do wish there was a warning that enemy is about to spawn, since sometimes they would appear almost directly in player character (specifically around top and bottom of the screen). Other than that, it's pretty solid!
haha, nice ^^
pretty good pace and movement :-)
Fun game and very simple to understand.
Maybe the pacing is a bit slow at the start when you don't have any upgrades but other than that very fun. Great job :)
Thanks. My last few furious hours was on pacing. In the last thirty minutes it changes from an infinite scroller to being limited to the size of the screen. I was also balancing bonuses and increasing difficulty and urgh... I think I got it ok but it can be improved as you say, Thanks for the spot on feedback :)
Simple yet highly addicting game.
Thank you so much
I like it sooo much , if i would play all of the day but i can't defet alot of them :-: GOOD JOB
Thanks :) A few people have told me they reached the end. It is possible :)
Very fun from the get go !
I like the simplicity where you just put a bit of text explanation on how to play control wise and bam straight to the action ! The controls themselves are real solid too so it feels nice to move around dodging enemies.
Small issue i have though is that the evolution system seems a bit unclear, i suppose the icons were arm = shot strength, eye = enemy detection range, and no idea what the brain icon upgrades. touching any enemy seemed like a game over so i don't know if you're suppose to let certain level ones get you to evolve ?
But despite that bit of confusion, the game is fun, The visuals are really good, and i really like the music !
Well done :)
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. The brain increases the rate of fire. Not very intuitive i know :( I did put a line about it in the text though. I had to scale back on the upgrades I wanted to include because of time. When a sperm touches the egg is it game over. The sperms viability/evolution rating/quality increases over time. When you get a sperm that 100% all the other sperms die and the egg gets the perfect mate and you win. There is a short film to celebrate the win staring Christopher Walken, Hugh Jackman and Lady Gaga. Its amazing :)
Oh so that's what it does :o
well makes sense in retrospect XD what else was there to upgrade in a shooting game, to be honest no wories for the icon confusion cause i don't know how firerate could be represented in this theming so a brain works just fine :p
Oh ok makes sense as well :)
Haha ! Wow then i've been missing out i don't know how you could manage to have this multi million budget for a jam game to get these celebrities in your game :p but jokes aside i do have to check out if i can manage to have a win and see the ending.
PS : Sorry to bother and ask, but i've noticed you managed to make the web version run in a sort of max size window, how did you do that ? Is it a particular setting on export in Godot or is it some option on the game page on Itch itself ?
Not a problem. Ask away :) This is the only thing I did
Dang it was that simple all along O_o
Thanks a lot for clearing that up :)
For the longest time i've seen this type of startup show up on web games in other jams i've participated in, and since it showed up in non Godot specific jam i assumed it was only something that people could do with Other engines XD
Pretty unique concept, and pretty fun too.
Thanks :) It's not has fun as your game :)
Very unique, fun and addicting game.
Thanks. I just need to daughter to play it and get really really good at it :)
Nice game, addicted. Liked it a lot
Thanks :) You can get 100%. I've only done it once....
this game is better than all the writings of socrates and plato and all those other idiots
Thanks! I hope socrates and plato didn't enter this jam...
a well put together bullet hell game (although i hate the theme)
i think this could be improved if the enemies repelled each other and if they didn't spawn too close to you.
not sure if thats how evolution works.
otherwise, good job.
Thanks for the feedback. Selecting a viable, gene-diverse mate is a key factor in evolution... or is that just my wallet?... lonely... so lonely... :)
A rather absurd looking little auto shooter! Glad to see the classics of "kite around in a circle" still work!
Got a good laugh while playing, well done!
Thanks :)
