All original artworks, sprites, music and sounds!\n\n___  \n\n\n__Known Bugs (hehe)__  \n - When you hit the egg, the endscene cinematic will play, but nothing in the game officially tells you that you've won afterwards, but you have won, thats it! But you can keep playing as long as you like ;) (We ran out of time lol)\n - Perf can degrade a bit the longer you play. Think of it like a timer on the game ;)\n\n___\n\n\n__Credits__  \n\n__Lead Devs:__  \nhotdog & rumham  \n\n__Sprites & Animations By__  \nhotdog\n\n__With Special Help From__  \n**icerfish**: Sound Effects and Original Artworks  \n**astroduck**: Original Music\n\n\n","title":"Spermies: The Tiniest of Creatures","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/404501+404502+404503+404504+404505+404506+404507+404508+404509+404510+404511+404512+404513+404514+404515+404516+404517+404518+404519+404520+404521+404522+404523+404524+404525+404526+404527+404528+404529+404530+404531+404532+404533+404534+404535+404536+404537+404538+404539+404540+404541+404542+404543+404544+404545+404546+404547+404548+404549+404550+404551+404552+404553+404554+404555+404556+404557+404558+404559+404560+404561+404562+404563+404564+404565+404566+404567+404568+404569+404570+404571+404572+404573+404574+404575+404576+404577+404578+404579+404580+404581+404582+404583+404584+404585+404586+404587+404588+404589+404590+404591+404592+404593+404594+404595+404596+404597+404598+404599+404600+404601+404602+404603+404604+404605+404606+404607+404608+404609+404610+404611+404612+404613+404614+404615+404616+404617+404618+404619+404620+404621+404622+404623+404624+404625+404626+404627+404628+404629+404630+404631+404632+404633+404634+404635+404636+404637+404638+404639+404640+404641+404642+404643+404644+404645+404646+404647+404648+404649+404650+404651+404652+404653+404654+404655+404656+404657+404658+404659+404660+404661+404662+404663+404664+404665+404666+404667+404668+404669+404670+404671+404672+404673+404674+404675+404676+404677+404678+404679+404680+404681+404682+404683+404684+404685+404686+404687+404688+404689+404690+404691+404692+404693+404694+404695+404696+404697+404698+404699+404700+404701+404702+404703+404704+404705+404706+404707+404708+404709+404710+404711+404712+404713+404714+404715+404716+404717+404718+404719+404720+404721+404722+404723+404724+404725+404726+404727+404728+404729+404730+404731+404732+404733+404734+404735+404736+404737+404738+404739+404740+404741+404742+404743+404744+404745+404746+404747+404748+404749+404750+404751+404752+404753+404754+404755+404756+404757+404758+404759+404760+404761+404762+404763+404764+404765+404766+404767+404768+404769+404770+404771+404772+404773+404774+404775+404776+404777+404778+404779+404780+404781+404782+404783+404784+404785+404786+404787+404788+404789+404790+404791+404792+404793+404794+404795+404796+404797+404798+404799+404800+404801+404802+404803+404804+404805+404806+404807+404808+404809+404810+404811+404812+404813+404814+404815+404816+404817+404818+404819+404820+404821+404822+404823+404824+404825+404826+404827+404828+404829+404830+404831+404832+404833+404834+404835+404836+404837+404838+404839+404840+404841+404842+404843+404844+404845+404846+404847+404848+404849+404850+404851+404852+404853+404854+404855+404856+404857+404858+404859+404860+404861+404862+404863+404864+404865+404866+404867+404868+404869+404870+404871+404872+404873+404874+404875+404876+404877+404878+404879+404880+404881+404882+404883+404884+404885+404886+404887+404888+404889+404890+404891+404892+404893+404894+404895+404896+404897+404898+404899+404900+404901+404902+404903+404904+404905+404906+404907+404908+404909+404910+404911+404912+404913+404914+404915+404916+404917+404918+404919+404920+404921+404922+404923+404924+404925+404926+404927+404928+404929+404930+404931+404932+404933+404934+404935+404936+404937+404938+404939+404940+404941+404942+404943+404944+404945+404946+404947+404948+404949+404950+404951+404952+404953+404954+404955+404956+404957+404958+404959+404960+404961+404962+404963+404964+404965+404966+404967+404968+404969+404970+404971+404972+404973+404974+404975+404976+404977+404978+404979+404980+404981+404982+404983+404984+404985+404986+404987+404988+404989+404990+404991+404992+404993+404994+404995+404996+404997+404998+404999+405000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/92\/92ace22dc725bd2d77d38d97a5d0f7671130676d804b12d0e0b2268f5921b940","record":"shard-0\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/1cd8754f8a06c5a004420d148d3831fa767a522b934f0033a5d2d875adb524b3.json","sha256":"92ace22dc725bd2d77d38d97a5d0f7671130676d804b12d0e0b2268f5921b940","source":"https","stored_at":1784022518}}
