So-o-o, I just played a game about head lice, right? I need to reevaluate my life for a second. Meanwhile, the wall of text is just unreadable. A few simple tutorials would solve this in a moment. Love the attitude though.

its hard to play long time cause i begin to look for bugs and ants in my hair =))
@zinkler haha yeah you probably should reevaluate your life... but because I made it I should definitely reevaluate mine!! Yeah I was going to go with just showing you the controls and that was it, but then I wanted to add the science of how much of a mess head lice can be :D @drfallos it really makes you feel itchy!
I have to admit, when I saw the game, I had to laugh. This is a pretty unique idea... congrats. The help screen was a bit hard on the eyes, but the concept is easily understandable.
We had the same sort of idea for this jam! If you get a chance play my game, Aaah, Crabs! It's gross & disturbing too. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/aaah-crabs
Good job though, and thanks for all the info about lice. I need to go take a shower now. LOL!!
This game made my head itch! The first time I didn't read the instructions and failed hard. After reading them I eradicated everything right away. A very interesting take on the theme and a solid compo entry. Congrats on the actual gameplay! :D
I did not think that a game about head lice could be fun, but surprisingly it is! Good job! :D
Ahh, can't stop scratching! And they spread so fast! Not sure if I fully grasped the controls...I usually clicked-and-dragged a bunch, then let go and some stuff would suddenly disappear. I love the humming and little sound effects, very fun design overall :)
A pretty easy game. Controls are a bit counter intuitive to me... ((Maybe because I was never hunting lice before)), but once I got hold of them the game turned out to be pretty beatable... even though I had a pretty bad infestation going on while I was figuring what to do.
So many nostalgia points right here :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :joy: :joy: ! It's got a lot of charm and is certainly unique in it's take on the theme. I liked the little noises the lice made; I think that really helped sell the game.
Well, this is the most fun I've ever had with lice, so congratulations? But seriously, this was a very interesting take on the theme and was pretty well executed. You hit the right balance of "simple to understand but difficult to master." Forcing the player to consider the speed of combing adds an interesting dimension to this.
It’s very useful info. People don’t take into account that lice spread very fast, and can everyone around can get infected. My daughter got lice from some other kid from school, and she has to self-isolate from others for a couple of days. I feel sorry for her because she has to stay away from her friends and family members and just stay in her room. Christmas was almost ruined for her and it’s like a punishment for her. Parents of the kid who got her lice knew that he has lice. They just didn’t want him to skip school for a couple of days. I wish people knew more facts about lice and their treatment. I found a few useful tips on https://novokid.com/blog/lice-facts/
