Life by Foxtacy

[raw]
made by Foxtacy for LD24 (COMPO)
I wanted to do an artistic game, but due to the tool's restrictions i couldn't make the whole idea at the point where i have limited it. *cries*

The idea is this: You start (your life) as a sperm *derp*

If you grab more blues than pinks, you become a boy
If you grab more pinks than blues, you become a girl (sadly this is not implemented due to the reasons explained before)

On the following stage, if you are a boy, You're presented with 3 elements. The bag, the helpless, and the baddie, You must figure out what to do with these, AND you must make it to school in 1 hour.

Depending on what you did on this stage, the next would change, and so on...

I'm so sad i couldn't make this more than just a demo... But i'm quite glad it worked out the way it is :)

Controls for the second stage: Arrows and Space to drop the bag.

Adendum:

What i had in mind for the second stage is:

The baddie shot the kitty, if you grab it you saved it.

Inside the bag, there's a gun (but you don't know it, obviously). Thats why you can "spook the baddie with the bag"

If the baddies sees that you do not have "his" bag, he shoots you and you're dead.

Oh, and if you go into school with a bag, you get expelled from school, forever, and you become a bad guy filled with hate :)

I thought running into the space-ships in the vagina was overly punitive because you had to wait through the intro agai-WAIT why are there spaceships in the vagina!?!?!!?!?

I like the music! And it's cool that you got an intro and cutscenes despite the limited time. If I could change something in the parts of the game that are there, perhaps I would make the first level either shorter (it's fine to be short, we know there's little time to make the game), or with more variety.

Dammit, I really wanted to be a girl! As for the spaceships in the fallopian tubes...yeah, I probably would have gone with some large, globular white blood cells. That probably would have made more sense. (Source: I get to be a girl in real life.) Love the concept!

XDDDD well, while i was floating/surfing inside the whatever, i realised that i was building a boy or girl (pink or blue) . nice...ohh... done it...it is a ...he? doesnt matter, go to school boy! :D

Bugs.
music broke down sometimes and you have to improve collisions.
