Made in 8 days for Godot Wild Jam #94 with the theme - Mutation!

Play as a turtle on a Punnet Square picking up genotypes and generating mutations! Can you get the coveted Gold Turtle mutation before your randomized enemy?

Please give our little game a try and let us know what you think! Especially if you have an improvement for accessibility as I want to get better at that in particular. 

After the voting period I do intend to continue working on the game implement some ideas we had during the Jam but couldn't add because of the time limit, which are listen below!

Known Issues:

  • If turtles are resting when the menu button is clicked on the pop-out side menu, they will keep their positions when you click play on the title menu
  • Walls force player and enemy turtles out of the way upon generation
  • Restart doesn't prompt starting turtle menu to appear (I recommend exiting to menu and restarting from there. I'll try and fix this before voting starts) (Fixed)

Ideas for Future Updates:

  • Squares updating with the color of the newly randomly generated square every round
  • Arrow updating to the player turtle's current color palette
  • Randomized pegs spawning in the middle of the squares (much like the randomized walls) to throw off collisions
  • More options
    • Ability to turn of specific sound effects, (i.e. power-up, mutation pick-up, etc.)
    • Turn off wall/peg generation
  • Some misc. extra polish
    • Percussion-only background music when choosing your turtle
    • Intro theme replaying when you return to the menu
    • Shadows under the player and enemy turtles for better visual contrast
    • Added animations like sparkles for metal/silver/gold shells, or the turtles peeking their heads out and looking dizzy on idle
