Condom Corps by Radiatoryang
*** If you are judging, please play the COMPO version.
*** If you are NOT judging, play the JAM version in its (legally) photosourced splendor.
BUGS:
- You randomly get "2500" points sometimes, and then it spawns additional NPCs everywhere... I'm not sure why it happens and can't reproduce it. If you can figure it out, I'd be much obliged.
>>> BASICALLY
It's a Match3 First Person Sniper for sex education.
>>> HOW TO PLAY
Mouse1 = fire
Mouse2 = zoom in
Mousewheel = change ammotype
1) Stare at a dude's package. Decide what size of condom he needs.
2) Shoot the condom into his hand.
3) Match adjacent colors to create chain-climaxes for mega points.
4) Shoot well-fitting condoms to maintain a "fit streak" multiplier for your score.

However, the game feels kind of joyless to me. I expected it to be cheeky and playful, but it actually felt silent and lonely... but maybe that is the life of a condom sniper.
If anyone has ideas for how levels / challenges might work out, feel free to suggest... I didn't just want to do a bog standard timer which is all I could think of at the time.
Congrats on finishing the LD48!
Though basically this is how it works, you and your SO put on the jock strap and stand at the window until a perfectly-sized condom is shot into your hand.
The mouse sensitivity was a bit on the high side, but not much (and a mouse on-the-fly sensitivity helps). I guess to improve upon the concept you could challenge players to shoot it into the hand they have the best dexterity with (interpret as you wish...) or add subtle body language and animations in order to send it to the "giving" party. Also, add more failure notices - they're humorous :)
Honestly, I was on the verge of calling it too vulgar for anything, but you actually pulled it off very nicely. Maybe you could get a licensing deal with sexual health associations? :)
Pretty interesting concept, could be more fun if you were supposed to look at windows, see who is about to have sex and then send a condom in time.. sort of like a condom fairy.
However please add females if you go that route.
