made by Niavlys for LD23 (COMPO)
You are a spermatozoon/sperm/spermatozoa. You want to be the only one in the race. Touch them all to kill them all.

Protip: Play in Chrome rather than Firefox (sorry, poor performance under the latter).

hahah, fun idea. You should have added a menu, though, and a replay button.

@Evgis:
Thanks for your feedback! Yes, I ran out of time... I wonder if I'm allowed to add a very basic menu screen (pressing a key from this screen starts the game, dying brings the player back to this screen).

Graphics aren't bad. The gameplay however isn't very fun and well you know, it is unfinished :)

Could have been more fun but the idea and core mechanics are there! I wish there were power-ups or different kinds of enemies to keep the gameplay interesting or, as you suggested, a menu that display distance gone and such when you lose. Hope you finish it up!

Interesting idea. I died a few times initially due to having to move from the mouse to the keyboard. The start button should really be a key.

Hilarious. Needed a little something extra and definitely needed some music, a better font choice, and a slightly better presentation. Otherwise this was fun and funny and bang on theme.

Thanks for this.

Fun, although I had some trouble getting it to work at first. A few refreshes later it was working just fine though! I liked the concept, although I think it could've used a bit more of variety throughout the game. Good job!

Interesting idea! I like the little popping sounds they make. This is definitely a game which works because its kept simple.

I'm happy to see so many HTML5 entries.

Is it bad that I like how your goal isn't to reach the egg, but to stop everyone else from reaching it?

Amusing idea, and nice simple gameplay, but it gets tedious fast. Also, a couple of times, a sperm started with its head already at the right edge of the screen.

the graphics were okay, controls felt really heavy and clunky though. but as you said, it's unfinished.

It was pretty fun, except I found the physics a little jarring and the constant popping sounds when you failed were annoying. Otherwise, fairly good for fourty-eight hours!

Pretty good idea, fits well to the theme. too bad it is a bit hard to play, but I enjoyed it anyway!

Cool idea and fits the theme, but the controls were pretty bad. It could have used a bit polishing.
