An interesting little game idea, that also has a very interesting atmosphere. Overall a good jam game. Well done.

Hmm i mean its very moody. The game mechanics are.. well.. space bar and trying to keep them fed and warm. I mean its alright but I think there could be a few more features.
Well, there is only one game mechanic and that is very bad. But the sounds are excellent.
Not really much going on, but I liked the art and sounds. The flies moved in a cool way
A very atmospheric game! Nice wind sounds, buzzing and minimalistic art and gameplay
Nice looking and unique graphics.
The art is top: Atmospheric audio. Beautiful graphics. Handdrawn? The gameplay falls a bit short: Neither the light nor the person seemed to have an effect on the flies. Some feedback would have been good.
After a few tries, I finally had a single survivor:

I think it's really cool that all mechanics are hidden from the player. It makes this experience feel colder, just because you don't know when you'll succumb to the cold or hunger, or what your limits are. I had that one fly remaining, for the last 15 seconds or so. It felt really tense, and I felt more connection to that fly than I do in the majority of games I play.
Honestly one of my top games this jam so far, easily 5/5.
I wasn't quite sure how to best keep them alive, put them in the light, give them food, keep them moving. Even tho the game is super simple it took me a few tries of trial and error to figure out the strategy. The game might not be for everyone but I appreciate the entry as it sticks out a bit from others. Nice entry :)
Quite a conceptual game. Took me some time to understand what is even happening :smile:
Cool!
I'm sorry, I don't understand the game... Maybe you should add an interface with the keyboard keys and some explanations? It's still good work!
Six survivors, lord of the flies I am. It was interesting just figuring out how it all works. And watching all the flies dropping dead simultaneously when utilizing a wrong assumption to the fullest. I had more fun than with some games where a range of mechanics was implemented. Nice existential game with quite good graphics and general atmosphere, good job.
After a few tries, I managed to survive the night with 1 survivor left :sweat_smile:. At first I thought the game should have some indicator showing values for food vs warmth but I think that would take away from the point and make it less interesting. It's more of an art game and it becomes more about a gut feeling how long you spend before each switch. What I really want to say is "To Be Fair, You Have To Have a Very High IQ to..." :rofl:.
Very artistic entry. It was a little hard but an enjoyable experience once I figured out what to do.
What's the record for most flies survived so far? :P

Took me a while to figure it out but managed to get 8 through. What a mood :D Loved the sound effects, graphics, and the gameplay - all of it worked really well together. Pretty simple, pretty rough, but also pretty rewarding.
