Fly: Generations by Conry

[raw]
made by Conry for LD27 (COMPO)
You're a newborn fly, but watch out! This is your life and it's ending one second at a time. In 10 seconds you'll be gone, but you still have a chance to pass your genes to next generations...

Let's get reproductive!

Very difficult game to get the random dots and then find a mate in 10 seconds! Made me laugh though!

Heh, that was awesome. I haven't been able to do better than 3 generations, though.

Cool idea, the gameplay is fun, but a bit too hard. Made it to 3 generations. :)

Heh, I can imagine it being hard to be good at it from the get-go, but I guess it's not that bad. It just requires some practice. After two days of testing I myself can make it to 8th generation without much of a problem ;)

I liked the graphics. Never managed to mate, even when I approached another horny fly and pressed Q nothing happened.

Strangely compelling sound effects! Very nice and gross!

Hilarious idea. Wonderful interpretation of the theme. Stressful gameplay. Apparently I didn't have java installed...

Terrific idea and game mechanic! The trick is to not hesitate to sprint.
Awesome work!

Heheh, nice application of the theme and cool idea. However it felt profoundly unfair when I was chasing down some food, only to have a fly spawn out of nowhere and steal it from me!! >:P Still though, very cool, and fun to play.

I got to 5 generations. It was a pretty cute concept. The second I grab one food, I sprint to get more, and repeat until I mate.

Very cool game! I missed the part of the instructions where it said press Q, so I was very confused for a while, but after realizing what I had to do, it was actually fun. Nice take on the them, and sublime sound effects ;)

I'm glad this game doesn't have smellovision. Quite innovative, nice graphical style and overall it's a fun quirky game! Show it off to your friends :D
