Damn bugs are hard to catch! Nice sounds. :D

Pretty well done game it it was only completed in 6 hours. The bugs tend to fly off the screen and then not come back for about a minute. But other than that good game. I ended up with a measly 196.

Hi there. Grats on entering! The graphics are a bit small and found the aiming frustrating. The fly mechanics work well. The fly sounds... sound a bit like you shouldn't listen too closely...

Good job o/

Not bad, perhaps the graphics could be bigger so aiming would be easier. Sometimes the bugs like to go outside screen and not show up in a while. The flying mechanic was pretty interesting.

Nice job, especially for 6 hours work!

nobuyoshi 2014-12-09 01:35

Good job, but it should be easier to catch the bugs.

flashrocks 2014-12-09 01:35

Very well done :), and quite fun, too! If the controls were a bit easier (a keyboard option might've been nice), I probably would have played for quite a bit of time :) The "off screen kills you" really reinforces the theme, and it was a very good game mechanic.

frenzyasii 2014-12-09 01:36

Cool! :)

It was interesting, good concept for a casual/mobile game. The bugs were hard to catch though.

Nice movement mechanics, but the game is really hard! Some bigger hitboxes, and the bugs not being able to fly off-screen would provide a much rewarding experience. Nice sounds!

way too hard to play on a laptop, haha, but a cool idea and well done.

Flying is fun!
I would like to see the dropping being a bit more extreme, you can hardly notice you are dropping.

Nice job!

Nice controls! Being a bat is hard, but I liked it! Maybe a first easier round to learn the controls would have been nice, before letting bugs go wild and move randomly. Great work

Those're some crafty bugs!

ryusui 2014-12-10 01:31

Controls are a bit slippery. Wish I could just stop at the top edge of the screen - annoying how flying too high kills me.

murchurl 2014-12-10 01:34

Nice job as you only did it in 6 hours! I like the simple controls, Audio is pretty standard. At one point i considered wether the bats flappy sound was saying fuck you haha! overall, nice job for the timeframe you made it in!

bushmango3 2014-12-10 02:11

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!

Great sound effects ^.^ This is really well put-together, especially for the amount of time you put in. It's like a great version of balloon hunter. Maybe an easy version with bigger collision circles? Also the bugs would tease me by flying off the screen! Love it.

It was frustrating at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun. The mouse controls were a nice touch, even though it took a while to get a feel for how to use them.

ky533541 2014-12-10 03:05

Super impressive for only 6 hours of work :) Way to dig in and make something instead of just giving up.

vinull 2014-12-11 01:42

Okay, I can honestly say I've never played a game with this control scheme! I got the hang of it pretty quickly but still died a lot because I had to go for multipliers!

demy 2014-12-12 05:48

Nice audio and controls

darkengineer 2014-12-12 18:08

Nice job, good game

officialcodenmore 2014-12-14 20:44

I love the gameplay - but its unfair that the bugs can go off the screen and not you :(

asobitech 2014-12-16 16:33

I hate those pink bats. Dive bomb the lot of them :D

icylava 2014-12-19 18:48

It can be quite frustrating at times :/

depp 2014-12-19 22:14

It's simple and I like it.

nicealexanderas 2014-12-23 17:57

It was very fun and hard (FOR ME), im a bad player xD i only scored 40 :( Great work :D

01rafael 2014-12-29 05:51

Feel like a little bat xD
