Simple and fun, congrats on your first entry! I like the take on the theme.

Makes my skin itch.

Damn... some of them are really big. Goosebumps....

cr2crstudios 2014-04-28 04:09

If I had that many ticks crawling on me. . . man, I would freak. :)

pixelpun 2014-04-28 04:29

I like how the bugs crawl over the score and the ui.... I am really itchy now... Nice entry :)

quady14 2014-04-28 04:54

Ugh, gave me the shivers playing this! Fits really well for the theme though, so I applaud you, nice job!

hanoth 2014-04-28 05:08

Thanks, all, for the kind comments. I've been itchy since I started working on it.

taylorlunt 2014-04-28 05:44

Good take on the theme.

alvarop 2014-04-28 07:05

Ugh! This game makes me feel uneasy. I really like where you took the theme.

This is so simple and mind relaxing... Very good!

burquitlambadgers 2014-04-29 01:17

Love the music in this one! Makes me want to scratch at my skin...

ruthiepee 2014-04-29 02:20

Absolutely disgusting. And hilarious. Both the Flash and HTML5 versions work great. I felt like the 'buzzing' noise could be quieter so you can hear the music better. The music is perfect! Nice job!

I tried to get rid of them but at the end they won. I wouldn't like that situation in real life.

conormn 2014-04-30 01:48

Guh, ticks are the worst. Really like the execution tho.

marcellus 2014-04-30 01:57

Reminds me of mariopaint. good job.

jake_cohen 2014-04-30 02:48

this would be fun on an iPad, upgrades could be cool and easy to implement for extended replay-ability

brogrammers 2014-04-30 15:16

My highscore: 68.
Fun little game!

xensky 2014-04-30 15:18

perfect game, except for the part where I got the skin crawlies. *shudder*

pancakecity 2014-04-30 17:26

Grossss! Nice job.

cakencode 2014-04-30 22:34

WOW that really creeped me out hahahah. I was really unsettled by the ticks crawling everywhere. I thought it was pretty fun though! The Web one froze on me, and I think the Flash one was on its way to freezing. On my third attempt I was able to get it! My best wasn't very good, it was 30-something, but I got overwhelmed pretty quickly.

secularbaron 2014-05-01 00:34

Gross... Cool game.

vicious_br 2014-05-01 00:36

yuck! but great fun!!! hahaha,

snild 2014-05-01 16:26

Ew. I think I'll stay inside this summer.

The "kill" sound was annoying.

Stereo sound would be a nice addition to give a little hint on where you should look.

stratovarius 2014-05-01 20:49

You're right, our games are pretty similar, both in style and gameplay. Pretty neat!

wicht 2014-05-02 20:19

Android Version breaks with a classnotfound exception.

hanoth 2014-05-03 00:48

@wicht - Sorry about that. I don't have an Android phone so I'm kind of flying blind on it. I've compiled a new version that runs ok on my Ouya, and am publishing it right now. I'll update the page again when it's up.

badgerpriest 2014-05-03 01:27

Nice take on the theme!

caranha 2014-05-03 02:59

Congrats on your first game! Played the web version on my android phone - android version did not work. Some feedback:

- could not hear any sound.
- some sort of feedback when you splat a tick would be good - an animation or sound effect.

nice use of the theme! thanks for your game :)

hanoth 2014-05-03 11:31

OK, I think I FINALLY have the Android version working right. It's now in both the Google Play store (linked above) and the Amazon Appstore - http://amzn.com/B00K3BEQ3S

vladimirdlc 2014-05-03 17:55

Playing this game makes you feel incomfortable in your own skin, that's an achievement itself. Cool first entry, really creative take on the theme.
Regarding the sound, I would have preferred softer sfx's, and on the web version there is no music.

mark-goetz 2014-05-03 18:11

Oh man, that's so creepy (which I'm sure was your intent!). It's really simple, but it gets the job done. I felt like the bugs were a little harder to click than I expected, though. But great job making a game that makes my skin crawl and makes me want to take a shower, in a good way. :)

hanoth 2014-05-03 20:03

@vladimirdlc - Thanks for the feedback. Which browser were you using for the web version? Just curious since the music plays on mine on Chrome.

ceosol 2014-05-04 02:42

Nice little entry. The music/sound was definitely a good offset for watching ticks burrowing into the skin :D

pinkmonkeyhead 2014-05-04 16:16

Nice use of the theme

evildan 2014-05-05 20:40

Rad - loved the banjo (but it made me itchy <the game, not the banjo>)

rincewind_cz 2014-05-08 17:23

Simple game with no innovation, but implemented well. :)

vigrid 2014-05-19 00:35

I'm never going camping...
