Theme: It’s Dangerous to go Alone! Take this!
More Info: Ludum Dare 20 Has Begun! (Keynote), Theme Voting Results.
*** If you are judging, please play the COMPO version.
*** If you are NOT judging, play the JAM version in its (legally) photosourced splendor.
BUGS:
- You randomly get "2500" points sometimes, and then it spawns additional NPCs everywhere... I'm not sure why it happens and can't reproduce it. If you can figure it out, I'd be much obliged.
>>> BASICALLY
It's a Match3 First Person Sniper for sex education.
>>> HOW TO PLAY
Mouse1 = fire
Mouse2 = zoom in
Mousewheel = change ammotype
1) Stare at a dude's package. Decide what size of condom he needs.
2) Shoot the condom into his hand.
3) Match adjacent colors to create chain-climaxes for mega points.
4) Shoot well-fitting condoms to maintain a "fit streak" multiplier for your score.

Very creative. I like the way that it's not simply sniping - there's some cognitive skill in looking at the targets and decide which ammo to use.
However, the game feels kind of joyless to me. I expected it to be cheeky and playful, but it actually felt silent and lonely... but maybe that is the life of a condom sniper.
Awesome concept! The game needs some kind of challenge or progression though.
I wanted to record "moans and groans" but my laptop mic was really scratchy :(
If anyone has ideas for how levels / challenges might work out, feel free to suggest... I didn't just want to do a bog standard timer which is all I could think of at the time.
I liked the whole idea of the game as well as the graphics. Well done :) Could use a bit more sound files and randomization but overall it is good.
despite a great idea i can't really play it as I can't zoom in. the mouse wheel is also much too speedy.
My mouse was just a weeee bit too sensitive when zoomed in. Sniping is hard! Quite humorous!
Pew pew penis. Nice work on pushing some boundaries with this one.
Congrats on finishing the LD48!
Mouse and wheel both rather twitchy. Could use some time pressure, maybe a 2 minute limit to get the highest score?
yay, someone resurrected the buried "Sexuality" theme! A bit dry however!
Though basically this is how it works, you and your SO put on the jock strap and stand at the window until a perfectly-sized condom is shot into your hand.
I think the visual style works regardless of the atmosphere. Dreary or comical the silhouettes seem almost style-neutral.
The mouse sensitivity was a bit on the high side, but not much (and a mouse on-the-fly sensitivity helps). I guess to improve upon the concept you could challenge players to shoot it into the hand they have the best dexterity with (interpret as you wish...) or add subtle body language and animations in order to send it to the "giving" party. Also, add more failure notices - they're humorous :)
Honestly, I was on the verge of calling it too vulgar for anything, but you actually pulled it off very nicely. Maybe you could get a licensing deal with sexual health associations? :)
@localcoder: HAHA!!
Pretty interesting concept, could be more fun if you were supposed to look at windows, see who is about to have sex and then send a condom in time.. sort of like a condom fairy.
However please add females if you go that route.

another bug I just realized: it's always the same amount of people in the room, I never re-randomize that number... gah.
