Version 1.0.3 is out (February 7, 2022)! See changelog for details.
A strange, glowing pink meteorite has crashed down near Fox City, bringing with it some unknown entity that is transforming the locals into voluptuous women intent on spreading the infection to every corner of the earth!
As an agent of Center for Transformation Control and Prevention, you are tasked with collecting samples of a meteorite that crashed down Collect samples and dodge the bimbies (bimbo-zombie) to assist the Center in developing a cure. But be careful: every time the bimbies catch you, you become just a little more like one of them! Play as one of six different Agents with unique special abilities abilities. Can you stay yourself and devoted to the mission long enough to end this Bimbie invasion--or will you succomb and join their ranks?
OR:
Play as a Bimbie to convert and command your fellow infected to transform whole towns and cities--but be careful, there will be Agents you must overcome, lest you be struck by one of their magical firearms and end your invasion as a squeaky lovedoll! There are four different Bimbie playable characters, each with their own unique abilities.
In contrast to previous works of mine, this is a an action-driven short game that rely on your timing and reflexes--and a bit of luck--to avoid infection.
This is now version 1.0.0 of the game which means all the goals of the game have been met and we have moved on to future projects. However, we do plan to continue supporting this game in the future with bugfixes and potentially further playable Agent and Bimbie characters, along with a possible third game mode, so this game will remain officially in "Beta" mode here on TFGS.

This game has so many favorite ideas of mine used so wonderfully! Being sequentially transformed every time you're touched which outbalances displeasure with pleasure and surprise every time something bad happens, once I'm at 40% with a male character. The art style and bimbies are really cute and round! And for me the giggle sounds make up for there being no more than an icon to show a bimbie. Even playing as bimbies I was surprised to see a perfect way of being transformed, and that's dollification :3 And there is also becoming more bimbofied as you succeed so you're transforming from both winning and losing!
What this game really brings me into a huge mood for is crowding - something getting swarmed by bimbies that doesn't just seem like one of them only doing the transformation. I dream so much for another game like this!! This is the kind of thing that I could play endlessly if the content didn't end. Thanks so much for making this!
The game actually has a pretty interesting loop to it, with a couple issues. One: the graphics aren't intuitive. I wasted a lot of time getting stuck on trees I thought were bushes, houses that looked like parking lots, and fences so thin they didn't look much like barriers. On the opposite side of things the sidewalks look a lot like walls, meaning I instinctively avoided areas I could get through. Some of the map designs feature dead ends that need to be braved for samples. The game warns you about them, but they still feel unfair. Immunity is hard to like since it has to be used the moment you pick it up and only lasts a few seconds.
The art is cool. The transformations are something I looked forward to. I do hope there are future plans for the in-game sprites to look more appropriate and maybe get some art for narrative descriptions. The controls could be made a liltle more streamlined. I'd like to play this one-handed if possible.
I actually think this could be really cool, but it's held back by some issues that could easily be fixed.
The new artwork is even better than before, the new character feels right at home among the other two, and I appreciate the counter that lets me know how long my immunity will last...but I really miss being able to control the action with the arrow keys. Using WASD is just so much clunkier.
This was fun to play, went through all three characters and got further with each one. It does get surprisingly hard, more than what I expected, I think the furthest I reached was mission 8 but I'm sure if I try again I'll get further. obviously, I also enjoyed the slow transformation of each guy to Bimbo, the art was good if a slight issue on their outside lines with the game. It be intresting if something would happen the more infeced you'd become, like in the text saying the Bimbo's were faster the higher infection score you had there's be a slight increase to speed and for the high leves you'd accidently infect other people so you'd have to plan around the civilans. I reccomnd this to anyone on TFGS. It's short and sweet with a good challenge to it and more to come.
Just awesome. This game feels like a very fresh idea.
I would love to see the transformation being a bit less linear and a bit more story. Maybe when you get hit there could be little story bits.
But the idea and the first version are great!
