Currently only tested in Chrome!!!
I struggled with an idea and hit on the life cycle of a Mosquito. I wanted to add a blood sucking and mating scene but ran out of time. The "fun" is kinda lost in the awkwardness of a disgusting little life cycle and it resisted gamification rather nicely... I found the result quite interesting.
On a technical side it was all written from scratch on just Javascript and Chrome. I'm rather proud of the little debugging interface and quick turn around on playing around on the systems. Though I didn't get time to use it the adult has a full 2D rig with simple constraints built in.
Overall I'm happy with the project but the resulting game is slightly creepy and not very fun but has a certain... something :P
=================================
*Egg Laying Trouble*
Don't want to alter the game post compo till the voting is done but the egg laying is meant to start at the head and to the tail. If you hesitate or go off on the gesture the egg cracks (black square)
Missing Bits: Finding a Target, Blooding Sucking, Finding a Mate, Sex. Was going through it linearly but when running out of time I jumped to egg laying o help reinforce the cycle aspect
