Challenge your friends to the very first race in life with a peculiar eukaryotic organism! Try and reach the ultimate goal, navigating through the dangers of the human body as best as possible with this wobbly spermatozoon.

We tried to do something like the infamous flash game QWOP, or Getting Over It, but with the added fun of multiplayer. We really recommend trying this with a friend!

The controls are kinda wonky and hard to maneuver, but the graphics are nice and clean.

Lol, it took me 2 minutes to find the sh*t.

I can imagine this being hilarious when playing multiplayer.

the movement, it is disrupted, a gameplay, I understand that it is a spermatozoon and it is always going forward, but I think I can go forward, because it loses control of the doll

Yes! The controls are somewhat wonky, we tried to do something like the infamous flash game QWOP, or Getting Over It, but with the added fun of multiplayer. We really recommend trying this with a friend! (Come to think of it, maybe I should add this info to the main page. I wasn't expecting rates so soon!)

i thought this was really strong! the controls were a little difficult to get used to, but once i tried each segment individually i got it. i ended up spamming e and w to move, using q as a sort of rudder to change my direction. definitely QWOP vibes. my middle school self would have had some fun racing friends in the school computer lab lol

Second game with this theme I play in the jam! It was cool to have multiplayer, my wife won in the after a furios keyboard mashing session. Thanks for the laughs!

Controls are really weird. It's fun to figure out how to move in a controlled manner.

I didn't buy enough GME stock to understand how to play this game...
Nice job!

This was really fun! I never thought playing as a sperm could be so cute. The controls are pretty cool to try and figure out.

Very chaotic and fun even if I spent most of the time going in circles. Very unique take on the theme as well

Amazing work, extremely wonky control, but at least it has a minimum of logic (I'd have made the direction be more tail dependent), multiplayer is a blast, but it could use the springy bounce on contact with other player.
The lines in the trailer video were on spot ;)

I enjoyed the gameplay (interesting and innovative movement) the most. I think if the graphics and UI could be a bit more polished it would be a 5/5!

I really don't know where to begin with this one. I laughed out loud while playing this.
The graphics are nice, the controls are hard to figure out but satisfying once you get into a rhythm. The game sounds nice also, which is a nice bonus

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. (it's like lewd qwop / 10)

I really like the human cell art!
I would assume that you've been inspired by the controls of the QWOP game.
I just couldn't figure out how to consistently control my character, it seemed like i always ended up going in a circle.
Valentine Skachkov27 Apr 2021, 17:36
heh censorship at a high level) Looks cool It's cool that there is a multiplayer mode. But the mechanics turned out to be difficult for me :))

I can't go far because i have a really hard time with the control (and with a french keyboard it's worse than ever x)) but i think it's a cool idea and it goes well with the theme ! Plus the art is really cool !

Feels like if qwop wasn't a nightmare. I got a rough control over the course of a few minutes. Pretty fun idea on the controls and the art style fits well.
Pretty silly concept and hits the theme pretty well.
Thanks for the entry!

Pretty interesting QWOP/like game, difficult to manoevre, but that is the point of the game! I managed to make somewhat decent times after trying for a couple of runs, the movement itself is interesting and original. I would have loved to see the sperm move it's tail in the main menu when pressing the keys, acting as a tutorial. Also really nice touch the change of music when pausing the game. That was fun, and I imagine that much more playing against a friend!
