The converting your enemies mechanic - love it.  Really ramps the difficulty and makes it a brain twister.  The controls didn't make sense at first until I realized you could have multiples, and then it kind of clicked.  Very difficult still.  Your music is a trip is it procedural or something?  The theme didn't really click for me.  Great game."},{"author_name":"ironleonem","author_uid":"49950","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 6:06am","epoch":1429509660,"text":"So... the gameplay was decently entertaining. I do feel the premise was a bit... sophomoric for my tastes, and shocking just for the sake of being shocking. You do seem to have a head for interesting game design. I'd love to see more of your stuff... but maybe easy on the fetuses?"},{"author_name":"jacketsj","author_uid":"51647","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 6:25am","epoch":1429510800,"text":"I was actually worried the game mechanics might be TOO confusing, but I'm glad to know someone figured them out. The music isn't procedural, but it is made up of patterns. It's not composed note by note, but it's not made by a program either. I wasn't too worried about a theme while making this, more worried about how all the parts would fit together."},{"author_name":"jacketsj","author_uid":"51647","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 6:28am","epoch":1429510980,"text":"(Last comment was directed at MattV, this one's at ironleonem)\r<br\/>Join the pro-fetus movement. It wasn't even supposed to be shocking, just unconventional.\r<br\/>Maybe next time I should think of an actual premise instead of coming up with one 5 hours before deadline though...

And after figuring out how it works I was shooting fetuses all over the place. Damn. It was fun. But I could have lived with some other random kind of weapon that is fired.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>To the game itself, definitely fun and quite a challenge as well. Nice mechanics and good idea to control multiple fighters.

Do you see the three opening screens? Does it crash? Do you have xna 4.0 redist (or game studio) installed?

Hold left click to repel all your launchers, or right click to shoot frisbee fetuses at the invaders. Be aware though, your launchers will soon die of shame! Implant the explosions of the fetuses into the incoming invaders to turn them into launchers!\r\n\r\nVERSION DIFFERENCES:\r\nWindows (Original) is the original game, with the exact source code written in the 24 hours. Fullscreen mode is buggy and only works properly on 1920x1080 screens due to an error on my part, and one of the sound effects is played multiple times at once, making it louder than necessary. This version is made using XNA, and therefore requires the XNA redistributable framework to run. This can be found here: https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-ca\/download\/details.aspx?id=20914\r\nWindows (OpenGL) is a monogame port of the game made AFTER compo ended. It probably requires some sort of monogame redist, but I don't know where to find that. GL! There are exactly two differences (aside from any possible glitches specific to this version that I am not aware of): Firstly, fullscreen mode is COMPLETELY disabled, due to monogame having a glitchy fullscreen mode right now (Hopefully this will be fixed, and if not I could probably do it myself). Secondly, the previously mentioned sound that was played multiple times at once is only played once, as it should be. I only noticed this because monogame threw an error telling me this. This version does NOT require the XNA framework.\r\nAside from that, there should be no differences between them.\r\n\r\nA l\u0336i\u0336n\u0336u\u0336x\u0336 flash port is in the works. (But it's slow due to g\u0336l\u0336i\u0336t\u0336c\u0336h\u0336e\u0336s\u0336 \u0336i\u0336n\u0336 \u0336m\u0336o\u0336n\u0336o\u0336g\u0336a\u0336m\u0336e\u0336 differences between as3 and c#)\r\n\r\nJust in case anyone's wondering: The music was made with the web program found at http:\/\/sb.bitsnbites.eu\/","title":"Frisbee Fetus Bombs"}
