Reskin: biological defense — ova vs. an invading sperm swarm

[lfscheidegger]

Reskins the Missile Command–style game as a biology parody: the reproductive tract defending its ova against an invading sperm swarm. Engine internals, type keys, and CONFIG numerics are untouched — only user-facing text, palette, and art change, so balance and the test suite are unaffected.

Copy

• Cervix Command (was CIWS Command); cities → ova; credits → ATP.
• Defenses: mucus cannon, antibodies, acid gland, mucus plug, twin glands.
• Threats: sperm / clump / wriggler / sprinter / wall-hugger / ghost sperm / swarmer / enzyme bomber + acrosome bombs / mutant.
• Loss states + nuke voice line ("Mutant swimmer detected"); README + page title.

Palette

• Fleshy interior: deep-red walls, golden ova, pale-cream sperm, acid-green beam, immune-green antibodies, pale mucus globs.

Art

• Background: animated domain-warped Voronoi tissue shader — oozing dark lobules with glowing capillary membranes, camera-locked behind the gameplay.
• Motes: drifting cells replace the starfield; warm biological lighting.
• Ova: clusters of glowing egg cells with suspended nuclei (collapse animation preserved).
• Enemies de-angularized: ballistic rain is a sperm-head ovoid; drones/bombers/cruise rebuilt as organic swimmers; antibodies are soft cell blobs.
• Explosions: bursting-sac shader (cytoplasm fill + gooey membrane rim) instead of an overpressure shockwave.
• Ammo: goopy mucus droplets (halo + bead) with stringy filaments.
• Reticles: amoeboid cell-membrane hover ring; living-cell crosshair with lashing flagella + nucleus.
• Font: rounded humanist stack instead of monospace.

Testing

• All edited JS passes node --check.
• The unit suite runs under bun test; bun isn't installed on this machine, so the suite wasn't executed. Changes are display copy + colors + render geometry only — no logic, type keys, or CONFIG values touched — so it's expected to stay green.
