I like the concept. When I started, it was difficult to understand how the mosquito repellent worked.
I did it! It really wasn't easy. Or rather, I now realize, it didn't _feel_ easy, but in fact it was your clever game design which led me to feel that way! That is:
* The narrow field of vision made it feel like I was lost in this huge world, and had no idea where I was, but after being killed by the green sphere a few times, it was clear that the only way to avoid it was to [SPOILERS] fly above it, which led me directly to an exit I didn't even know existed. [/SPOILERS] * The fact I had to press the spacebar so quickly made it feel like I worked very hard, even if it wasn't _cognitively_ very hard, only physically draining. Having to press the spacebar quickly makes thematic sense too, since flies are twitchy and flap their wings very fast. [edit] oh I'm such an idiot turns out you can just press and hold [/edit]
I still have no idea what' the green sphere is supposed to be though. The only way to discover it is to fly close to the source while it is still small! Maybe the "you lose" screen should show a spray bottle or whatever it was instead of a generic sad face?
I like the concept, great idea ! But I think the game is way too zoomed in, making things in the background a bit hard to understand. But filling the HP when being over the baby and losing some when in the radius of the repellent is really natural and works well. I didn't manage to find the exit :cry:
The music is terrible :sweat_smile:
With the help of the spoiler, I found the exit. I like the narrow vision. I didn't like the music.
Lol, nice ending screen, an thanks spoiler, colund not find it after a few tries and was starting to wonder. It was so zoomed in, so that kinda gave the impression of having an insects field of vision, which is kinda cool.
Nice game! interesting graphics :thumbsup:
