Blastocyst



Introducing Blastocyst, a cellular shooter where players take on the role of a microscopic human being to be.  Yes, those are sperm.

The game will likely take a few more weeks to complete, but the objective is to "swim" around shooting at amoebas, paramecium, and viruses.  Billy the Blastocyst follows the mouse while WASD shoots in 4 directions.

Blastocyst features a few rogue-like elements.  I'm still hashing out the details, but basically Billy goes from one womb area to another while encountering random enemies.  After so many stages, a boss appears.  Potential bosses include Daddy's Penis and a Coat Hanger.

If Billy dies, the game is over.  Players can start over, but will face completely different challenges.  If Billy overcomes all obstacles, he will eventually be born.  Talk about life and death!
