"Somewhere on this globe, every ten seconds, there is a woman giving birth to a child. She must be found and stopped." - Sam Levenson
Use the arrow keys to move and space to drop a bomb.
Destroy all spore mothers to advance.
Don't let them reach 100% population!
Spawns start out at every 10 seconds, then get quicker as you advance...
Created using HaxeFlixel and OpenFL.
Notes:
1) When you kill all mothers on a globe, you advance to the next level. Often this is obvious as the planet changes to another random colour, but other times it's less obvious. Just keep flying and bombing!
2) If you want to rack up a big score, at a slow pace, stay on the early levels and let the spores grow. If you want a challenge, bomb everything as quick as you can to move through the levels. Each new level starts with a single mother and a quicker spawn time.
3) I really regret not having time to add some sounds. I have a version with sound, but I'll wait until voting has finished to post it to let everyone vote without bias.
I intend to continue developing this idea and hopefully release a more complete game (including sound effects, proper level transitions and a greater initial challenge) on Android and possibly iOS. Thanks to everyone for playing and please leave some comments about your experience!
