This was really good! I really liked it when the bugs would all run for the last piece of food and I'd wait to kill em all!

Feels so old school its awesome.

Control are a bit hard. But it remains good :)

dick_claus 2013-04-29 17:51

Funny, sometimes it's difficult to run away from flies

heychinaski 2013-04-29 17:52

Nice work! It was perhaps a bit too tough to kill the bugs because of the spray reload time though.

I liked the figure-out-the-most-optimal path aspect.

I had a bit of a dance with a roach, it was kind of a moment.

Very nice game. I had fun squashing/spraying bugs. They even seemed to be quite clever at some points :)

phnxphire 2013-04-29 21:55

Yeah that was good. Good Job!

Very fun and clever. The 'dern bugs' sound was funny.

I wonder how making the bug spray limited or allowing a victory if all bugs killed would change the game. Pretty cool concept though, could even be considered educational with different words that needed to be spelled correctly.

@Dark Acre Jack: I hadn't thought of the educational slant. Hmm...

recursor 2013-04-30 00:17

Oh. One other thing to everyone else reading the comments. You can win a level if you kill all bugs. I did not get that into the in-game instructions, but it is in the instructions above.

A good game in general, but the audio was what I really liked here. It stood out in an amusing way.

This is excellent!

There seems to be an issue: to me, every sprite just displays as a magenta square, which makes it impossible to tell different kinds of bugs apart, among other things.

recursor 2013-04-30 12:49

@ZeroDivide - That is odd. Try hitting Ctrl + F5 to force a reload of the unity file in the browser. Also, perhaps you are using an earlier version of the Unity3d browser plugin? Go here ( http://unity3d.com/webplayer/ ) and see what version you have installed. The version I have installed is 4.1.2f1.

Awesome game! Well done :)

ocmu 2013-05-01 01:33

Classic atari style, fun!

justinmullin 2013-05-02 01:05

I love the Atari feel you've got going here. My only frustration was not being able to drop the food I was carrying so I could dust a few bugs. Other than that, very fun. =)

Works nicely enough... found the ai of the spiders tended to clump them all together... Not sure the difficulty scaled sufficiently gradually.

kyru 2013-05-03 19:51

Very nice, good mechanics and good sounds. Fits the theme well.

Cool game, super hard though. I had to give up on the wasp level.

beerman 2013-05-04 15:07

Very retro :) Movement felt a little slow, which made it difficult to deal with those little buggers stealing my food.

jlauener 2013-05-04 15:19

Haaa those bugs are trying to steal my food!

Had quite some fun playing this one :)

freezx 2013-05-05 23:35

Cool game, nice pixel art, old school music.

ataxkt 2013-05-11 14:54

Quite slow. Its shame the bugs can go through walls too.

gatechgrad 2013-05-12 06:38

Nice entry, I played all the way to the end. Those roaches are so sneaky! The levels were well thought out, and it's the first game that I played where bug spray is a weapon since Donkey Kong 3.
