  • A very stylized but incredibly unfair game, this one. The platforming is fun but really starts getting more than a little annoying once enemies get involved, with every hit meaning an immediate stop to gameplay (twice) and a round of getting berated by the virus. Really not quite what I was looking for after trying to jump past the turrets that remembered me after multiple falls, locking onto me from across the map. Despite me being bad at the game, I enjoyed the bizarreness of the world and the abstract design of the character that still conveyed the important bits. Over all, I wish it was easier or that I was more of a hardcore gamer so it wouldn't have taken me so long to see everything that the game has to offer.
  • An interesting game where you collect nodes and battle viruses. Pregnancy content wise seems to apply whenever you get infected by a virus. Your character color changes based on the virus along with some movement and dialogue lines but it is short and brief. Gameplay is fun where you collect the various nodes across the map, sort of wish collecting these game a sense of progression tied to pregnancy. Creativity we see a fun world where you battle viruses and how they too can infect you. Finally for the jam theme we have some sense of progression in collecting the nodes and a little bit post infection dialogue from viruses but not much else. Interesting game!
  • an interesting proof of concept, and the art style is very unique. However, it still needs a lot when it comes to balancing.

Game is completely broken on my end, can't make out a thing.  

Developer

Odd. Are you rendering with legacy hardware/OpenGL instead of vulcan?

I'm not sure what those are

My GPU is an AMD Raedeon RX 6600 if that's what youre asking

Developer

Yeah that shouldn't be an issue with your hardware being incapable of running the shaders then. Kind of an insane screen though.


 I bundled the debug console version in the game files too. If you launch the game with that and see any errors fly up, I might be able to do something about it. Maybe? Otherwise I don't really have a fix for infinity-fractal-gamebreak

This is what I got

Bad news, those are old-non-serious labeling errors I never bothered to fix. Whatever's wrong with your camera isn't throwing up a flag anywhere :/.  The most I could do would be randomly hit parts of the game with a hammer and see if it was fixing stuff on someone else's device I don't have access to. Not super feasible right now, sadly.


I wonder if you're loading the game too quickly maybe? Breaking something somewhere? I'll keep an eye out if other people have a similar issue. Maybe there's something that can get nailed down or someone's getting a workable error somewhere. Until then, sorry it didn't pan out on your device.
