Loved the graphics and mini game. The audio is top tier! Good job
Nice game ! Everything worked properly ! Keep up the good work !
Amazing artstyle! Game a little bit difficult for an old man like myself, but great nonethless :D
I'm disappointed that it took me FAR too long to realize the Shadow of the Colossus reference. XD An awesome, solid little title!!! :D Loved my time with it!
oh wow discover on twitch it's very fun, AD is really good, the mini game is very fun :D really good
Super fun mini game, squashing bugs something super satisfying in this game.
I really enjoyed playing it on stream, but I wouldn't be able to finish the last level without the help of @burchyn
There seems to be a delay between the keyboard press and the clap, and I was not able to synchronize it my head. (But that's probably a me issue)
I would tone down the flickering of the screen in that last mini game too, as the large amount of light colours + flickering contributed to me having a difficult time.
However, it was really fun to play, and the ending was really funny! Thanks a lot! :bug: :butterfly: :boot:
Let me think, as a veteran souls player I found the sheer brutality of this game shocking. Very gorgeous game and a nice sense of humor. However. I wanted to rip my eyes out on the last level. Great job.
Concordo com Rincs ali em cima, porque eu também estou desapontado de ter demorado um pouco pra sacar a referência. Inclusive, ao escrever esse comentário é que eu me dei conta que o "radar" também é parte da referência, hahaha.
Apesar disso o jogo se sustenta bem fora dessa piada... E como sempre o áudio muito bom :)
Só uma coisa, o jogo foi atualizado? Aqui na página não foi dito nada, mas quando vi Pomo jogando o "radar" era um mata-moscas apontando a direção, e agora é um "brilhinho".
Hey! we met on my stream yesterday :) I was able to test your little game. I really like the old school graphics! The gameplay is simple but effective (the last 2 levels were pretty tough, especially with the latency, because when you press the key on the keyboard, it doesn't react immediately on the screen and you miss the bugs). I appreciated having the guide to find my way back. The music and SFX are simple but sufficient. On the other hand, I don't know why, but all the way through I had a white noise that spoiled the atmosphere (I don't know if it was coming from my PC or the game?). Well, I'm not sure I understood everything in the plot, but at least it made me laugh! Bravo to you for this game!
Lol, I had so much fun playing this game! I love the concept, graphics, and gameplay! I got a bit lost in the map, but it was satisfying to finally find the minigame bosses. That ending, too!! T___T
Great job, love it!!!!!
Lol, I didn't expect using the chancla on the spider!
I loved all of the graphics in this game. Each enemy you fought was really unique looking and it was also very humorous to squish the buggies. The atmosphere is immersive and the player can go through the main story smoothly! Well done. Some of those bugs were sooo annoying to squish lol.
On top of the unique gameplay, there's also great aesthetic, music and the audio fit well. Even had me laughing a couple times. Great work!
Such a mood! I enjoyed it a lot and the credits scene at the end was the cherry on top ahah. Congrats!
I have some ideas how you did glitch staff and tv effect, probably post processing or well designed texture
Anyway i like this effect and mechanic, really interesting good job!~
Really great tiny games, with lots of creepy tiny creatures. I did not immediatly realized the tribute to Shadow of the Colossus.
The mood is really nice, with old-timer computer look, the music, the colors, etc.
You already know it, but there is a little bug with Firefox. The cut-scene images doesn't display.
And the ants seem a little "buggy" too. Sometimes, they don't move from a point to another, but they just move from a point to the same point, so we just see them glitching a second.
I loved the end too, but I won't spoil it. I just incite you to play the game until the end, it's not that long.
Another wonderful entry by Euler! And Kaish! Playing a little kid just squishing bugs like little kids do. I loved the earie music playing off and on. The squishings were challenging. But I bet nobody else got the last one first try... doesn't matter that it was a complete accident on my part rofl. Thanks for the great game!
I love how the game is coherent and feels polished. You can tell this is a work of love. I had to figure out at first I had to squash the insects. But once I got that the game unfolded smoothly. The conclusion made me laugh and I had a good time! Congratulations!
Right after the first creature when I realised it's all a reference to "Shadow of the Colossus", I laughed so hard! Making a game for "Tiny creatures" by reverting Colossuses formula - that. is. so. genius! I would have never thought of it, and was so surprised to see such game, and a so polished one! I like the simple visuals, I like that bugs move differently, I even struggled a bit. I wish they could give me a challenge by fighting back, but that's okay - I am still happy that they were different in terms of how I should deal with them. The one thing though that was way off the theme - death sound. All the other sounds fit quite good, but not the fart one :sweat_smile: Still, I'm impressed how you handled the theme, amazing work!
[Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2274205446?t=00h54m08s)
As a huge fan of Shadow of the Colossus, I am frankly embarrassed at how long it took me to notice what you were doing with this game. :rofl:
Great job all around!
I wish I was a shoe
Great fun! I liked the surprise ending and it was really easy to vibe with this game!
Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to watch it again in the future heres the vod of the stream (timestamped to your game)

Also Wanted to ask if youre fine with me using gameplay from the game in this LDs [score chasers tournament](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/$405421/ludum-dare-score-chasers-qualification-begins) intermission video. (Would play in the breaks of the tournament on my stream). Last year for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuddhZScWxo
@ategon You can use the gameplay Of Course!
What a moody and stylish 2-bit take on that PS2 classic! Thank you for not making this punishingly hard. Very cool entry! For your records, here's my playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8xlDpyVWJo
wow what an ending haha! great work with the sounds and all the lil minigames. The visual style is awesome too ^_^ that last buzzy guy took me so long to get xD
oh noooo we got squashed :) that was a cute game -- made me smile but also get rather frustrated with the fly. Well done!
This game is awesome! Love the graphics and audio, helps create a really solid mood for the game. Not much to complain about, gameplay is simple in a way that is easy to vibe with and intuitive to follow. Well done!
Wow, I loved the pixel art and how it's complemented by the screen shader effect. It looks great.
I destroyed all the tiny bugs, but man that final boss was fast. It felt like a real battle against an actual mosquito.
Overall, the game feels very polished. It's a short but complete experience. I enjoyed the music too, nice work there as well.
Also, my favourite weapon was the almighty chancla, without a doubt.

I love the aesthetics, sound design, and music. The gameplay, while simple, is also enjoyable. I'm very impressed!
This game's humorous context was the highlight of my day. The mini-games require increasingly good reflexes and timing, so I am glad there were infinite retries. Would definitely recommend everyone playing at least the first 2/3 of the game, and after that point you might as well see it to the end.
Thank you for bringing your game to the stream :) Yours was the first one I've played!

This was really good!
Since the gameplay was pretty simple I was expecting it to get boring, but I think you designed each fight to be pretty distinct, and the difficulty adjusted nicely. I like the Guide feature very much.
Also, as others have said, the art is really nice and I like the style, the slight... "TV screen effect"? (how it looks like the middle is bowed out a little, and maybe scanlines?) is really well executed, and I think it adds a lot to the game visually.
I also thought the credits with a whole animation and all the bugs' names was a nice touch.
This one was awesome! It reminded me of the game "Minit" a bit. I did not expect that ending, very good.
Some of the timing on the later bugs was pretty tight, and sometimes it felt like it was more about getting lucky with where the bug showed up than it was about actively hitting the bug.
Audio was amazing. I really appreciated the attention to detail here with the different sounds, music, and stuff that was going on. The graphics were also good, and I appreciated all the different little scenes where the bugs were hiding, the little cutscenes, etc. Lovely work!
