Contraceptive Bot Post-Mortem!


Hello! My name is Strawberry Fox, and welcome to my post-mortem!

So, if you're unaware, this game was made for Strawberry Jam 9! Despite the fact that this jam lasts an entire month, I managed to make this game in the span of a day. I did plan to make a completely different game, and started work on that earlier, but I lost steam on that, and only regained motivation in the last 24 hours.

So, since I fucked this game together so quickly, it was missing a bunch of things that I would've loved to add if I started earlier.
Since then, I have added a leader board and even cleaned up some unnecessary stuff so the game should run a bit better now.

I haven't done one of the big things yet though, and that's completely rewriting the character movement. It acts really fucking weird around the egg and outer boundary, and I want that to feel better.
Some players were also really confused about the spinning out mechanic. Quite a few people thought it was a good thing, someone else said that they had "figured out" how to control it and someone even said that when it happened felt unpredictable (despite the fact that it's just reaching a specific speed). So I need to make that all more clean and clear.

It's also not super clear when you're doing well. Like, you destroy the sperm, but what's considered "doing well" and "sucking ass"? Hopefully having a leader board with default entries will help players to gauge how well they're doing. It should also add a little bit of replayability!~

So yeah, this version isn't done yet, and I will likely upload it when I'm done with it. Not sure when I will finish it though. I'm going through a bit of post jam burnout and some personal stuff too.

So yeah, give the game a go if you haven't! I'd love to hear your feedback!~
