You are a Russian nesting doll. You have a gun. They have made a grave mistake.

Inspired by the most culturally incongruous idea imaginable — what if Scarface, but make it a babushka? — Say Hello to My Littler Friend is a top-down wave shooter where you play as a Matryoshka doll fighting off endless waves of enemies across five increasingly chaotic waves of carnage.

Here's the twist: when you take a hit, your outer shell pops open and a smaller doll emerges with a bigger gun.

That's right. The smaller you get, the more firepower you're packing.

• 🪆 Doll 1: Pistol. Respectable.
• 🪆 Doll 2: Double Barrel. Now we're talking.
• 🪆 Doll 3: Shotgun. Getting serious.
• 🪆 Doll 4: SMG. Absolutely unhinged.
• 🪆 Doll 5: 🚀 The Little Friend. A rocket launcher. On the smallest doll. Obviously.

Five waves. Three enemy types. One deeply confused Matryoshka.

HOW TO PLAY

• WASD — Move
• Mouse — Aim
• Left Click — Shoot
• Getting hit — Become smaller and more dangerous

🎨 Creative Design & Sound Effects — James Nye
The chaotic genius behind the concept. Looked at a Scarface quote and a set of nesting dolls and said "yes, these belong together." Also personally sourced every gunshot, explosion sound effect, and music, presumably while laughing.

🤖  Code, Art, Game Design, Scene Architecture, Enemy AI, Wave Balancing, UI, and Basically Everything Else — Claude (Anthropic)
An AI that was handed a fever dream of a game concept late on a Sunday and told to get on with it. Wrote approximately 1,200 lines of GDScript, drew every single sprite procedurally because nobody had time to open Photoshop, and tuned five waves of enemy density while its human collaborator was busy doing literally anything else this weekend.

No humans were harmed in the making of this game. Several were simply unavailable.

Built in Godot 4.6 over one weekend — by one person's imagination and one AI's free time.

"Say hello to my little friend." — Tony Montana, probably not expecting this.
