nice game

bohne 2024-10-08 11:51

cool game

laywelin 2024-10-08 11:52

Ah yeah when you say really bad bugs you're not kidding I don't want to kill them I want to LEAVE INSTANTLY F THAT PAYCHECK!

Had fun, at first my tab was muted so I was confused why there was no sounds and thought it was lacking on that part but I'm just a dork :D Cool submission, props for making it! Big Vampire Survivor vibe. I wonder how many upgrades there is?

zenorke 2024-10-08 11:56

Nice work! Maybe I'd like to have an end score menu

pomidor-carry 2024-10-08 11:57

Cute game! Just like Vampire survivors but with cockroaches instead of vampires, which feels much more relatable. Lacks some sounds

sashunyar 2024-10-08 12:02

It's a fun little game, and I really enjoyed it—until the bugs killed me after being interrupted for about 15 seconds. Still, I'm curious how many levels I need to beat to unlock all the upgrades?

paperr 2024-10-08 12:23

@pomidor-carry Yeah one of us mentioned Vampire Survivors when we were thinking of what to make :) Ty for playing!!

paperr 2024-10-08 12:24

@sashunyar ;)

My highest score is something around 1300, I dont know for sure because bugs spawned too close so i got stuck and then killed instantly :o But it was fun

I'm not a fan of games of this genre (ᵕ—ᴗ—), but this game is generally well done: the controls are responsive, health does not end in a second, and enemies die quickly — everything, as in high-quality games, would be more time, but I'm sure it would be better. ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Neat lil' game, pretty much vampire survivors but bugs, could use a bit more variety and perchance a different overall weapon, but other than that, it's pretty oke

kotori-itssuke 2024-10-09 02:41

Nice, but I would add a grenade cooldown meter

la-bread 2024-10-09 03:39

Cute top down survivor game!

steel465 2024-10-09 12:32

@kotori-itssuke I considered trying to add a cooldown meter but ran out of time

mibi88 2024-10-09 12:37

Nice little game. A cool down before the bugs start attacking after an upgrade would be cool. The graphics and the music are very good.

korzhik 2024-10-09 12:40

I liked the clear progression system. The game has simple visuals but at the same time it fits into the theme and narrative. very cool game!

chrisbeck 2024-10-09 12:42

Really nice game, very Vampire Survivors! I think the speed of level up gets a bit too slow as you go through the game, but other than that really well balanced. Great job!

goddoesplaydice 2024-10-09 12:43

Rusty Shackleford approves!

baconinvader 2024-10-09 12:49

Well done on your first LD entry! Nice little game, satisfying to kill hordes of bugs in groups with the spray, but I think making progression fast would have help with making the game more satisfying.

julienlussiez 2024-10-09 13:47

Good job! Graphics are good and the gameplay reminds vampire survivor. The title is funny.

wisch 2024-10-09 14:28

Was a really fun game, great job for your first entry :)

There was a weird bug I encountered in my second playthrough (no pun intended), in the run the swatter didn't work, the upgrade somehow unlocked the grenade. I bought it as first upgrade but could only throw grenades, further upgrading it didn't seem to do anything. But other than that it is a really nice little game.

paperr 2024-10-09 17:56

@wisch I'm glad you enjoyed our game! :D That IS a weird bug, I don't think we encountered it before lol

logovostudio 2024-10-10 01:42

Very nice little game, i can rich ≈1200 score,it was fun)

spirits 2024-10-10 02:13

I enjoyed the survival with the horror art theme idea! — it was nice and had a good atmosphere. There were just a couple of things I noticed: the monster creatures were always facing left instead of rotating to look at the player, and the enemy objects would push the player on contact, which sometimes confused my controls. But overall, I liked the game. Keep up the good work!

hatik 2024-10-10 17:48

I really liked the game, I lost track of time while I was playing.

kseniya 2024-10-10 21:40

This style is very fun! The technique is interesting, while I was playing I enjoyed the game!

shir0o23 2024-10-12 11:06

very fun, reached around 1000 something score

h1soka 2024-10-12 18:20

What a delightful game! It's like *Vampire Survivors* but with bugs, and the graphics are charming—definitely had fun swatting hordes of them!

paperr 2024-10-14 17:58

@kseniya im glad you liked the art style i chose for the game :D

gamayun-games 2024-10-14 19:05

the atmosphere and the art style looks so nice! really captivating, great job :) a couple of things that i'd like to comment on: - 2 out of 3 times my character didn't get any damage; - 1 out of 3 times i had the grenade from the start; - the bugs push you constantly :D - the second bug (maybe third as well, not sure) sprite is located under your spray sprite, so it is hard to see them when they are near you; it would be so fun to have some background music! and some sound effects for start of a new wave; - sometimes there were so few bugs I got lonely :D - you can push the bugs and they stop attacking you and just float somewhere... - it would also be fun to have additional enemy types and more variations of your weapons :)

a nice entry, good cleaning technique! wish you best of luck with your games :)

The menu art is spectacular, and the game does a good job at building an atmosphere. The variety of enemies is nice, and the gameplay works well. I had fun! Well done!

snorps 2024-10-21 15:48

Clicking so much hurt my finger. Could do with some more feedback for enemies taking damage like flashing white/sound playing etc. Love the title art of the exterminator

yanato 2024-10-25 11:38

Fast bugs aren't balanced:/ (they killed me)
