Description: Prepare your load with lasers, ion torpedos & heavy armour to withstand the onslaught. Only the toughest will survive to the egg. Even if you don’t survive, find & earn deposits for your Sperm Bank to purchase new equipment. If you win, what will your baby gnome look like? Gnomelings come in all shapes, colours & sizes, so don’t worry if it looks a little… off. Your bundle of joy will be gestated as a trophy. You might end up in your loved one’s stomach, though! What happens if you are the Prime Digest then?

Each uterus (or throat) is procedurally generated & populated with defences. The deeper you go, the harder it gets! The game also supports the Oculus Rift, so you can experience the majestic violence first hand! This is the craziest sperm racing shooter ever devised. Give it a shot!

Review: Never before has the term “Shoot ‘Em Up” ever been used so literary. This on-rails shooter places you with the job of stopping the rest of the sperm from getting to the egg, leaving you as the one who goes into it. If you think the idea of this game sounds crazy you should play it!

I get the feeling that there is a missed opportunity to flip this into a weird sex education game, but as it is, I still had fun playing it and there is loads of power-ups and weapons to earn and play with. It’s fast furious but above all else, it’s a bit of fun. As long as you don’t take this game too seriously you will find a joyful shooting game that will make anyone with a childish sense of humour laugh. And boy did it make me laugh.
