New Windows Build

Posted a new Windows build that doesn't use the Microsoft C Runtime. The old saying is true: The Microsoft runtime is never a fun time.

New Build

We had a couple of issues with things disappearing when the framerate ratcheted down. These should be fixed in the newest build.

Reproduction Man - FAQ

Is it really a remake of a 20-year-old game?


Yes. If you were alive when shareware games were distributed on plastic discs that you purchased using bizarre green paper tokens at places where you probably had to travel using some sort of strange "wheeled conveyance", then you may have encountered Reproduction Man. Back then, little computer gnomes had to paint each pixel on the screen by hand. I've rebuilt the game from the ground up using modern technology. Proceeds from the game will help me settle a lawsuit brought by angry, unemployed gnomes.

How old does that make you?


So old that when I was a kid, all reproduction was prokaryotic.

Linux!


Yes

What game engine are you using?


None of engines. Reproduction Man was lovingly hand-coded from scratch, using only the finest organically programmed ingredients and free-range electrons (and SDL2 for cross-platform hardware-based rendering).

This doesn't represent how reproduction actually works!


Sure - science would have us believe that there is not really a little purple blob-like character tunneling around in people's uteri helping hapless sperm reach their destinations. But if that's the case, then how do babies get made? I think scientists are seriously underestimating how utterly bone-stupid sperm are. Teach the controversy!

How many hours of gameplay will this provide?


This is going to vary a lot depending on your puzzle-solving skills. My best estimate is half the time it took you to finish Snakebird.

Is it an arcade game or a puzzle game?


There are a few arcade elements (things can fall on your head and kill you), but it's a puzzle game through and through. It's difficult enough that you'll be questioning the appropriateness of the "casual" tag by the time you're done.

It reminds me of Boulderdash


You are a person of discernment and taste. It was inspired in part by Boulderdash, which was one of my favorite games on the C64.

Barry White music?


We reached out to Mr. White via a Ouija board, but he sadly declined to be involved in the project, painstakingly spelling out the words: "Son you don't understand looooooove." Several hours later, he cryptically added, "Oooooh baaaaby".

    Reproduction Man Linux [39.46 M]

  • Public Linux depots

  • Reproduction Man is a 2D puzzler where you help some very simple-minded sperm get to the egg. This cult classic of the Windows shareware era was brought back for its 20th anniversary with all-new graphics, animation and sound. The puzzles may get difficult - and the sperm won't get any smarter - but you must persevere. Do it for the children!

    Proceeds from this game will go toward the wedding of my now-twenty-year-old daughter, whose conception was the inspiration for this game.
