Sperm Wranglin' by Torerane
Sperm Wranglin'

There are several missions in Syndemic that involve male and female gametes; aka, eggs and sperm. In one case, you will have to run interference for the egg while swarms of sperm enter the fallopian tubes. Some opportunistic bacterial and viral free-riders have made it inside alongside the sperm, and it's your goal to intercept them to prevent an infection.

Ex Vitro development is kind of on hold, as I've been putting most of my efforts towards a new game called Syndemic.

It's a microbiology-themed action shooter with elements of item collection and puzzle-solving built into it. I'm trying to create a blend of Diablo/Torchlight type of adventuring plus shoot-em-up style gameplay.

I'm hoping to include some semi-educational elements in it, such as exploring microbiology ecology and human diseases. It's quite a bit different than Ex Vitro, but I hope you give it a try.

I've also got an experimental funding site going on Indiegogo.com. I'm not sure if I'll make much from it, but have a look if you're interested. You can name a species of microbe, design a weapon, or have your eyeball turned into a battleground.

Yeah sorry man, I've been neglecting the game! I've started a new job in a new country so I haven't had much time for game making, sadly. Lots of ideas, just not enough time!

Okay, that game is BADASS! Holy fuck man. Absolutely incredible!!! Hands down one of the best games I've ever played. I made it to the boss, and then died. His bouncing makes him hard to hit. And those two floaty dudes are add to the difficulty. Absolutely kickass. The only suggestion I would make is in the areas where the little floaty guys infinitely spawn, I'd suggest making it so that they don't all give health. Maybe the first three or something. Because no matter how damaged someone is, they can go in there and just sit and kill back to full health.

Awesome game, man :) Good atmosphere (creepy as hell) and a perfect amount of difficulty.

Great! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I don't think I would call it the best game ever, but thanks for your enthusiasm! :)

Believe it or not the boss was actually much harder before I toned it down a bit. I'm a little torn on the infinitely respawning guys, because in some ways they can help people out for health, but it could also be abused like you say. Just one of many things I still need to sort out.

As for the atmophere/creepiness, you ain't seen anything yet! I'm designing a zone right now that's far better with the atmosphere (full of flickering lights and alien ghosts haha).

I just wish I had more time to work on it, but your feedback is much appreciated!

Well man, I look forward to seeing the completion of the game. Definitely going to be putting you on watch so I can keep an eye out for any more demos or art.

And I'm always here if you need a beta tester :)

Also, though I know absolutely nothing about making games, I'm decent at photoshop if you ever need anything made.

Look forward to more gaming :D
