In Incipient you control a creature and attempt to eat the body parts of other creatures (healing damaged parts in the process) and then consuming the creature itself and assimilating one of it’s body pieces. Each piece you assimilate maintains the shape and color of the creature you got it from.

This game uses my experiments with Procedural Music with the tone and pacing being determined by your health, number of enemies, size of enemies, and if any enemies are chasing you, fleeing, or simply wandering around.
Features:
- Vector based graphics using a 16-bit scanline with alpha blending for smooth visual effects.
- Procedural music that changes in speed and tone based on the current situation.
- High score system supporting up to 5 stored highscores (using PokittoCookie).
- Lots of fun and challenge as you master your environment to grow your creature.
- JoyHat support!!!
EDIT: Uploaded v1.1 which fixes the joyhat support (axis orientation was wrongly programmed). Also added support for the two buttons on the joyhat to mimic pressing the A or C button so the game can be played holding the Pokitto upside down and using the buttons on the joyhat.
