Genius!! I feel like I now have some idea of what Marshal Zhukov felt.
Poor dog ! But that very nice use of the theme, this is funny because of the physics ! doggy00e.jpg
A super sweet and fun little game. The gameplay is good, but someway to fail a level could also have been fun. Overall fun little jam game. Well done.
The cool style of the game is similar to my drawings as a child, which gives a twist. It's a pretty difficult game if I hadn't found a bug with filling in the space, but it's not bad!
I *love* the idea of the game, controlling a bunch of little entities in a simple way is very compelling. - However I never really feel like I am in much control of the little fleas, obviously controlling so many entities is never going to be exact, but I feel I should feel like I have enough say over their actions such that I *am* in control - this is especially true of platform games. - Without that feeling of exact control, most of the game devolved into just smashing space over and over. Most of the game is me going left to gather up a pile of them and trying to control the blob of fleas with some kind of hope lol - The art is adorable :) - I think perhaps the little fleas stacking up too neatly ruins a bit of the feel of them being a chaotic pile of little things. I think maybe they're on square colliders? Maybe if they were on circle colliders they would appear more chaotic.
Nice and original game! I really love the art style, good job!
Would love to see how many fleas I have lost, as some missions I went straight to the dog, igoring the losts. :smile:

Awesome game! Really creative :) Got to the end and was about to try to reach the 1000000000 fleas, but then after some quick maths, i realized that it would take me a goooood while so i took the loss.
very cool game with cool graphics, it's a pity it's short
Damn I really enjoyed this. Kinda reminded me of my entry with the "one control for every creature". I absolutely adore the hand drawn assets :D. It just fits far too well haha
I like how the difficulty slowly ramps up as you get to later levels. Great job on the level design! The art style is unique and lovely, too!
This game made me giggle so much! I love the art and the little kick the dog does when the fleas reach it. Personally I always enjoy seeing handmade art scanned into games so playing this game was a treat :) AWESOME!
Super cute game! Solid concept. The game is fun to play, despite the controls being a little bit unpredictable. Nice level design as well. Good job!
That's exactly the game I would have made if I was better at drawing and didn't waste half the compo on some 3D stuff ! Great job and thank you for succeeding where I failed :)
I love this type of graphics, it's original and I could see a whole game hand drawn !
PS: We have exactly the same fleas in our games :D
I love it! The artwork is perfectly simplistic to drive the point that it is in fact not the point at all! Well done!
I loved controlling the fleas and the way they didn't all jump at the same time and jumped off of each other.
+ It felt like some levels were very similar and some of them could be bypassed with little nooks or space spamming. + Loved seeing them crawl up the slopes + The collision with the wolf sometimes felt lacking as the fleas would just pass him
very good game idea! I would just add a limit of fleas per level to make it not so easy, but otherwise, good job!
Snipaste_2024-10-07_22-17-47.png this game is genius !!! ,LOVE this game idea so much,this game is perfect this this game jam
Childlish art style is game is awesome. Had some problems with tough control of ants(?), but game is very paceful and consistent. Nice work!
Very cool game! i love the hand drawn art style and the game idea! maybe the only complaint i got is that sometimes there is some kind of delay in the controls.
Awesome Gameplay! really fun. I love these type of fast paced platformers. And this one is really interesting. A fail condition would have been nice I think. And the music gets kind of annoying and repetitive after some time :D Overall its a great game tho! Good job!
It’s a light-hearted, fun game that turns a typically bothersome concept into an enjoyable challenge, perfect for casual play!!! Maybe music is a bit annoying but overall that's so good!
Wow this is so cool! The art's fantastic, I haven't seen a lot of LD games that look like this so it really stands apart. Gameplay is simple and fun, each level feels different from the last. Maybe some sound effects would've been nice, but this was awesome, really well done.
Now that's an interesting mental image in my head when I try to imagine this in the real life, haha! Very fun to watch fleas to have delayed responses somewhat and acting like a hive. Felt very organic and levels were fun to go through. When you feel in a darker mood, you can make a sequel from the middle ages. One of the best games I played so far for sure. :)
Such a fun little entry. The art is excellent too, I wish more games would do it. Great jam!
This is awesome, it reminds me of playing with one of those little hand-held physical games that you tilt and you have to get the little balls in the sockets
Funny to see how they jump, but on it's hard to understand who die and who survive
Really fun idea! So simple yet so addicting :D
Strong Lemmings vibes haha! Love it, it's cute, it's fun. First levels are very easy and I was like "okay...", but then it started to be really challenging and I got hooked. VERY fun experience.
Absolutely love the art and concept. Really awesome!!
Nice hand-drawn doggy! It's a shame I'll have to give him the fleas... He seems like a good boy.
The fleas' unpredictable jump and movement makes it so you have to account for this whenever you make decisions in a level. I think this is a good take on the platformer genre!
Not sure if this is intentional, but I found two levels with easy solutions that considerably trivializes the level: - A level with a sawblade moving up and down can be cleared by just holding right. Some fleas may die, but eventually the dog will get enough fleas. - A level with an obstacle course in front of the haystack where the wolf sits directly above the haystack can quickly be cleared if the fleas jump through the tiny gap and bypass the entire obstacle course.
That said, I quite enjoy the audio here. It's just the same 16 beats over and over again for the entire game, but it's so catchy that you forget it's looping until you sit down the write the review.
Awesome work out there!
fun game! ^^ i am not taking the bait hahaha
image_2024-10-07_185243564.png
The visual of the fleas jumping out of time with each other in a chaotic scramble looks so good. Like some others have mentioned, it's really hard to feel like I had any real control over where they were going. But maybe that's fine, given the infinite supply.
Perhaps having some kind of indicator as to which fleas are frontrunners (i.e. ones that will begin the jump) would have been helpful in feeling in control? And/or a way to stop and start the flow of fleas so that you don't end up with a bunch of them bundling into corners at the bottom of a jump puzzle? (Though that might reduce the effect of the fleas visual.)
Anyway, cute art and great visual/animation, and some interesting level design for the mechanics!
Haha so funny to play! poor dog can't escape the fleas. Really nice concept and well implemented. Congrats!
The art style is great, the watercolor background is nice. I enjoyed controlling the fleas! There were more levels than I was expecting too which was great.
Nice game, good take on lemmings idea. It was so chaotic, sometimes not sure if I'm at control or they living by themselves.
cool game i had trouble understanding what i was doing with every input tho and cool artstyle too
cool
There is already so many comments but I have to add my own appreciation for the graphics !! I looove the colored markers looks it's awesome ! The idea is so silly and fun it can only work (how can the html build handle so many physics bodies ? Please tell me your secret)
I LOVED the art style!
Cool game
really dope:)
This is a cool idea! I noodled with this for a while. Got stuck on the 5th level I think but really enjoyed it. Cool art too :) nice.
Pretty well made, the watercolor sprites are charming, the levels i liked the most are the one where you jump on top of the other fleas to get over a wall. The only criticism I have is that some fleas have a delay so movement is not always accurate, but since there's a bunch of them it doesnt bother that much, just makes the game a bit longer.
haha shouldn't have shown me that the fleas can climb walls. I beat almost every level using this "feature")
Graphics are perfect !
Cool game, I loved the handmade graphics
This was a lot of fun! I thought the execution was really good and the idea was very unique! I also really liked the art style. There were a couple of times where colliders didn't seem to line up - either there was a gap in the collider that seemed like it shouldn't be there, or a time where the art showed a slight gap but there wasn't one in the colliders. Aside from that, though, solid game! Good work!
The art style, music and gameplay feel very consistent which makes it into a great playful experience. Also an impressive amount of levels.
Its cute! My favorite part was definitely the dog shaking its leg when a flea reaches him, lol, that was a great touch.
The amount of levels was really good for only 48 hours!
The graphics were a bit rough around the edges. Good job overall :smile:
Funny game bro, good job!
Great job, I had fun playing. Hopefully, the flea family was huuuuge :D
Fun game, I like that its platformer, but with the swarm.
Love the idea, nice job!
As everyone has pointed out the art-style is great. Did you hand paint it and scan it in or is it a style/technique of digital art? Very fun and innovative over all:)
I love games that ultimately boil down to "Physics engine doing it's stuff". Very satisfying, and the art is charming.
Very cool idea. I really like artstyl
I had a ton of fun playing this! The game was super intuitive, and I think you did a good job designing the levels. Nice work!
Love the hand drawn art. The stacking mechanics are also fun. I love how you can climb straight up the side of walls and sometimes cling to the ceiling if you tap space fast enough. Not sure if that was an intended mechanic, but overall fun!
Awesome job, really creative take on the theme. Some puzzles where you had to push against the left wall felt a bit weird without an object there, but not a bit deal overall. Great job.
This is definitely the best game I played at this jam. Interesting idea, cool art style, funny characters, keeping to the theme. 10/10, great job.
Love the idea and innovation in the game!
The quantity of comments you have here is well deserved! It's a great idea, innovative and never before seen graphic style and with a story that is right on the spot with the theme. Maybe the repetitive music is its weakest spot, but as there is a button to silence it, it doesn't matter. Just, contratulations on such a game!
This is so creative! It gives World of Goo, but with so much more agency to the movement of the individual characters, in this case fleas. I think my favorite part is climbing a wall World War Z style because it is too high to jump over. As some have mentioned, it could be interesting to add a fleas lost counter similar to something like Pikmin has.
The hand drawn art is an immediate winner. It's so fun to dog-pile the dog (heh) with a billion flees.
Love the hand drawn art so so much.
really cool concept! i haven't seen another one like this yet. nice work!
tiny but fun game，good job
Love the art style so much! Such a fun silly game :) I think you did a great job
It is good, i like mechanic and art
I love how everything is hand drawn!
Short and sweet. I especially dig the aesthetics and the playful music. Levels had good variation and you came up interesting challenges for each.
Controls felt little janky but it was not a big deal, really. What can you expect when controlling tons of fleas at once.
Good work!
So far my best on the theme, tiny and playful, plus many different levels
Well, if I ever wanted to know how I'd perform as a Five-Star General for fleas... I guess, now I do. SO MANY fleas just died on my watch.
Great work! I think it's a fun and surprisingly challenging game. The musical loop did start to grate after a little while, but that's my only complaint. Good one!
Good game! looking forward for more levels, items, tools...
It's a very exciting game, it's incredibly interesting to play it, the music complements the minimalistic style, which looks insanely cool
Easy to understand, the controls can be quite complicated to use (didn't really understand how much jumps i have for example). But nice gameplay otherwise.
Amazing concept ! The jump had a tendency to be delayed but other than that, amazing job !
Enjoyable game with a funky mood
Very interesting idea and style
Interesting and unique art direction and gameplay. Quite fun to play, and a nice amount of content for a jam game.
Original and fun game! Art is stylish but game has lag, wich makes it difficult to play
I like this funny wolf)))
Great game idea, I love the drawings
Very nice and cute art, and very funny wolf ;)
I like artwork and idea is nice too
This game is great! It's pretty novel, it's like a live action lemmings. Controlling the horde of fleas can be difficult, but with the infinite number of them spawning it isn't too bad, as long as you don't mind sacrificing loads of them. Nice work!
Fun game, I loved this swarm concept with a platformer. The theme is also very funny and I loved the simple yet beautiful art !
Capture d’écran 2024-10-08 133731.png Can't finished the last level, I got a life to live.
I don't know why but it's a bit addictive. Some levels can be cheese. Sometimes we can jump several times, sometimes not I d'ont really know why. Art is pretty good with its own style, it feels good.
Nice, enjoyed playing it!
Nice game, looks good and is fun to play! Some levels are kinda hard or require just spam or repeating to get through, I'd also consider adding more sfx. Otherwise, visually appealing, and great usage of the theme. Great work here!
Interesting that this game kinda teaches the benefits of sacrifice.
Great concept it's addictive somehow! I ended up cheating some levels by accumulating fleas on the left but art and music everything is fun :D Poor dog tho!
I like the fact that all fleas jump at the same time and the level design is well done. Great job.
I absolutely love your game! You must be a genius!! The art style is just way too cute—absolutely amazing! The music is so fun, and oh my gosh, that little wolf's scratching animation is adorable! Every level is such a joy to play! Truly fantastic 微信图片_20241008225909.png
I like your visual style
I'm obsessed with this game
Excellent, I played like a dozen levels obsessively. Great feeling as the fleas accumulate, entertaining seeing the impact of jumping multiply across the swarm. Outstanding entry.
This game is SO on theme! There are definitely little creatures and you actually get to play as them! I'm glad there is no detriment to dying 'cos let me tell you, many, many a brave flea was lost in the level with the moving saw blades!
I didn't finish the game, It's funny and highly kids friendly.
I have 2 questions: 1. Why dog 2. How many fleas I kid along the way hahaha. And fleas do have nest?
The hand drawn art style is awesome! I liked how you did high quality scans of them. Also, I feel like the fact that you control many fleas at once with the same controls annoying at first but it grew on me. It's quite innovative. Fun game.
very fun and relaxing game.
lovedog.PNG
Great game. The concept is perfect, but the controls were frustrating at times and it didn't quite feel like I had much control over the fleas. Loved the hand drawn art - really nice aesthetic.
i loveeeeeee the art style. great game!
Super neat! Love the level design which get's tough but fair which is always rewarding
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Love the hand drawing visuals and the short yet beautiful music. Funny concept! I wonder - did you or a child draw the picture? Thank you for your rating on my game!
Such a cute and fun game, the hand drawing art is really amazing, and the game really creative, and everything made for just 2 days, It's impressive, great job!!
I'm absolutely sure that I've never played a game like this before... and that's a good thing. The simple graphics actually complement this straightforward game with an original idea quite nicely. I definitely enjoyed the game. Good job!fleaPatrol.png
Hey @sviborg, nice little game we have here ! I like the childish hand-drawing look of the game, it makes it really cute. The game is simple, there's an onboarding and a bit of chaos. I think you could have been even more creative on the level design, because there are tons of things you can do with your mechanic. Sometimes I felt some levels were really similar. Though, I still liked bullying this poor wolf packing all my bugs and throwing them all at once on him hahaha. The music is nice, but a bit too repetitive for me after a while as the loop is quite short.
Overall a cute game with a straightforward idea that I liked ;)
Good job. It's really fun to control multiple characters, it works really well and I like that it's not punishing. Graphics are nice, it's really original and it works well.
Cool game! I liked it.
Fun! Would be good with some kind of mechanic that limits the amount of fleas you get in a level, to have some sort of lose condition - but I also enjoy the ease of the game, it was quite relaxing. I really enjoyed your levels, it made me eager to keep playing to see what the next level held! Neat graphics too, it works perfectly for the idea.
Fun concept getting to control a bunch of fleas at once! I also like the hand drawn art. I do feel a bit bad for the poor dog though :smile:
That was absolutely great. So cute art. Mood was for sure 5/5. Wish the music was a little less repetitive.
Game is fun and has potential. I think the puzzles were a bit too easy. Maybe if there were a limited number of fleas at your disposal that would make strategizing needed more. Fits theme perfectly and humorous.
I enjoyed the paper drawing art, and the dog looks so cute. It feels a bit like an exploit that you can complete the level by just smashing the space bar to place your fleas at the top of the screen, allowing you to move to the dog while avoiding all the obstacles.
The most unusual and fun visuals. I like it
I also wanted to add that the game should have a limit on the number of fleas.
I love the are so much, very charming :)
Very cute game :) I liked the mecanics and the drawn art. Takes a bit of patience to finish ;D
Cute art! Messing around with hundreds of physics objects is always fun!
The Positives: - I loved the concept. Fit the theme really well, and the gameplay really matched well to it - The art was great. I love the personality the hand drawn nature brings - The mechanics were interesting. Having all the fleas climb over one another was a lot of fun
What could be improved: - The music was fun, but the clip was a bit too short and got a bit repetitive - I wish the puzzles had a few more elements. by the time I finished I had already learned and mastered the wall climb, and i could have used one or two less levels
I honestly really like the juvenile drawn art style. The mechanics were explored nicely, though I wish there were more mechanics (maybe like other insects, also I find it pretty funny that the fleas can't fly lmao). Also wish the music wasn't a 3 second loop, but overall I had a nice time with the game!
Cool game, LOVE the art style. The music is a bit grating lmao but having the fleas able to hoist each other up over things is super creative, in general this game is one of a kind. Really creative premise, great work
Such a cute art style! I absolutely love the feeling of a big group rushing forward (*though, poor doggos*). The game was a bit tricky at first, ~~until I discovered the trick of rapidly hitting the spacebar.~~
Very good game, the art was great, the little fleas were fun to try and get to do crazy things. I loved it. Great work.
Nice idea for the theme... the physics were fun. Would have been nice to have some more jeopardy, perhaps a target time to complete the level. Loved the art.
This game is just way too hilarious! I think you could have made some more variety in the music to make it less repetitive but everything else is just awesome!
I agree that the music was good, but repetitive. The concept and and mechanics of bunching up a bunch of fleas and sending them all at once was great. I love how they will stack and jump off each other. I even had one get land on the star once and jump off of it lol. GG!
Stupid fun and the drawings were so simple but so cool. I was a little jibbed in some moments cause it felt like my fleas weren't listening to me but there was so many it didnt matter in the long run
This game is really cute! They definitely seem like fleas. I like that you can control them but not very easily, it's a fun challenge.
Wow that was way cooler than I expected from the screenshots. You somehow managed to perfectly capture the essence of fleas. The gameplay the graphics and the music were all perfectly goofy and entertaining. great job!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I am very hapy to play it. Interesting and get the main theme in a noval way!
I absolutely love your hand-drawn doodle style! My strategy was to keep pressing A at the beginning until enough fleas gathered together, and then I’d start making them jump. It made things feel a bit easier to control that way. So much fun!
love your drawing) idea is very fun)
simple yet fun
Simple and fun
That's was super fun =D I found myself smile while playing xD Levels are cleverly made (can be solve in at least 2 ways ahah)) sound is cool! art of a fleas is a dot! I mean yes! that's 100% aimed into a theme in any way possible xD great work!
Excellent stuff! Feels kindred to my own game. Love your drawn art and the control and grouping works really well. Loads of fun!
You showed a good example of how to make a multi-level game from one drawing! It was fun to play. I admit honestly, I cheated a little on some levels when I jumped to the edge of the map holding "A"
I really enjoyed the gaming experience. There's a feeling that I'm really controlling a bunch of little creatures. But still the appearance of the units looks unfinished
I found this game to be really enjoyable. Controlling a swarm of fleas is such a creative idea! The way they handle feels perfect, like you're really controlling a hoard of bugs.
The levels are super well designed, they get quite tricky quite quickly and I found the challenge to be really surprising while still super fun.
The art is also beautiful! I think it fits the goofy vibe really well, and the little animations on the dog are really cute!
I really liked this entry, nice job! I hope you take this idea further, I'll be watching for an update or full release!
Very cool!
Great idea, I enjoyed it :)
I think it would be good if there was a reason why you need to make the fleas work as a group. As it stands you can basically do the level for each flea you need, without considering the other fleas: like if you need 20, then do it 20 times as one flea and ignore the others
Super game! I love the design so much, and it was a creative idea for this game jam!
The dog looks hilarious (and I like the visuals of the game very much - there is something cozy in such a style). Also I've never played _something with a platformer elements_ AS A CROWD before, this is a new experience and it is actually quite interesting. Thanks for the game, it is awesome!
interesting choice of style, and that’s the point, great!:))
Nice game, it felt a little like lemmings because the control was a bit indirect. Nice art and fun gameplay; good job.
I absolutely love the idea of controlling a group of fleas to overcome obstacles. The initial levels are quite easy to get into, but they gradually become more challenging while still being very fun. Additionally, the doodle art style on paper is definitely a huge plus. As a game art worker, I rely too much on digital processes and have almost forgotten that we can create games with drawings on paper. Hats off to you!
i REALLY love the art here. great choice there. the gameplay is super fun. i love when they spray all over the place when i spam jump lol. awesome job!
Wow! This is really amazing! Art is perfect and gameplay feels like being a crowd of tiny flees. Really great idea on the unique mechanic of controlling a crowd of little creatures. Puzzles were fun to solve too. This is a really great take on the theme <3
You've got a really cool concept here! I love how the flea flock reacts to itself, allowing it to jump on itself. I got through a lot of levels just by hugging the left wall and then the ceiling thus.
The music is nice but get repetitive, the art style remind me of children book that would be about flea and wolves, and it fits very well.
Congrats on an amazing entry!
Great idea, really creative and fitting with the theme! I especially enjoyed the fact that you control all the tiny fleas with the same commands, it really gives the idea of controlling a swarm of tiny creatures.
I really like the paper hand-drawn textures. very cool game !
Really cute and unique art style!
Love it! That stacking mechanic is so brilliant, and the music really matches a flee, haha! Great entry :)
Absolutely adorable, best art 10/10
Cool concept, nice art and music. I feel like maybe it would have been interesting to limit the amount of flea you can sacrifice per level, because right now I can pretty much spam until it's enough.
Love the art and the puzzles! It was hard to control the entire swarm when they split into small groups but otherwise a lot of fun :D
Some flees were sacrificed for the completion of the level
really have a lot of fun! inspiring and interesting game with cute art!
Pretty interesting game! Wondered when I'd see a pikmin-like 2d platformer haha. Felt a little like I could just spam my way through most levels but it was still fun seeing the fleas respond to eachother. Nice work!
Hard to be tinier than little fleas! Love that you went the route of using pixels to represent your creatures, really nailed the theme. The cover art and the name really drew me in, good job on that. I figured out how I could leap my fleas off of each other in the air, which meant I could really defeat some of the levels in cool, impressive ways.
A really cool idea. It reminded me of Leemings.
The art is very simple and charming. I particularly like colored pencil art. The music is well done, but a little repetitive. Normal for puzzle games (it doesn't distract you), so it's ok.
Maybe to make the game more challenging it would be interesting to limit the number of fleas per stage. Just like in Lemmings. This would make the player have to think and not just randomly press buttons. Another thing, climbing up the corner of the screen makes things much easier. I got through several stages just climbing up the left corner.
Good game! Congratulations! You're very brave to make a game alone.
That one was fun. Especially since you could technically let the fleas fly to get past some obstacles easily. Lovely art style! But the music loop felt a little bit short, considering the length of this game.
Cool game! expecially for being your first ludum dare, love the commitment to the artstyle!
Cool and funny game! I liked having hundreds of fleas on the screen on their way to bother the dog. There were some cheesing techniques like having the fleas crawl up walls but that also felt good to do. Well done!
I think this is an ok game. I was not a fan of the fleas being delayed to your inputs. I also found that the levels were real simple and I just honestly wasn't a big fan. The graphics are the best part but then again I didn't like those a ton. Overall not that bad but just not for me
Simple but effective. While I the game was meant to have a puzzle aspect to it, most of the levels can be brute forced pretty easily. Still, the artstyle was great and it was still fun to play.
Really fun idea! I loved the art, and the animations you did with it were a really nice touch. The controls were really difficult to get used to given that the fleas seemed to respond to inputs at different times, but having an unlimited amount of tries made that less of an issue. Overall I really liked all of the physics puzzles, great job!
Love the artstyle! Really fun idea and execution. I really enjoyed the puzzles, although I might have brute-forced some :laughing: Sorry mr. doggo for all those fleas though :cry:
After I saw your post on the second day of the jam, I’ve been searching for this game. I really love your art style! The gameplay is also fun!
Easy to pick up and play, had a lot of fun with this one. Graphics were super cute and the theme was perfect for this jam. I wanna know what happens when you get enough flees on the last screen :D
Loved the artstyle, most of the levels were just me mashing space and right though. I'm not sure how you can prevent it with the current design, maybe the fleas are jumping on each other just a little too much? (I was flying with them at some points). Otherwise a fun idea and well executed!
Poor wolf, but it's the wolf's problem 😄 In our game there are also fleas that bring suffering, but not to the wolf but to the dogs. Paper art is also very cute
You definitely nailed the theme. I love the primitive graphics and the mechanics are simple but engaging. The music, though repetitive, fits the rest of the game very well. I feel bad for that poor dog! Controlling an army of fleas has never been so much fun!
I should note that the game got stuck in a loop on this level:
Screenshot_2024-10-11-14-42-39_1920x1080.png
I'm using Firefox in Linux. Perhaps it is just low memory on my part. Anyway, very creative. Thank you kindly.
Theme was nailed. I love the art style and the crazy flee manipulation. Really a great game with some surprising game play, nice Work.
Great analog look!
I think it would do good to the levels and feel if you couldn't climb on the bare edge of the screen. Some levels can be circumvented this way and even if it's part of the intended path it feels a bit off to do it. When a vertical wall is needed for a level on the side, you could put the same brick element there but otherwise fleas could just despawn if they go out of the screen.
Cute and funny game!
Wow did the thumbnail draw me in, it stands out a lot not being pixel art or any other type of digital style. It looks like a kid's drawing but is very appealing nonetheless.
I love marching all my little dudes around, although I got a stuck on a couple of the puzzles. Very cute and fun!
Very fun and clever take on the theme, and the art is so frickin cute!!! Love when the dog scratches himself
fleas.png
Instant 5-star rating for Graphics. No question.
I really enjoyed how completing the puzzles sometimes made me "break" the game. Like, awkwardly stacking jumps to reach a platform almost felt like cheating against the engine, but in the best way! And definitely felt the Lemmings vibe.
Honestly, my only critique is that the fleas didn't explode more dramatically when they died. :rofl:
What a silly game! I looove the graphics, they have the charm that is more important then actual "quality" so to say it plays awesome, a unique idea that is executed well and has enougn playability for the lenght of the game overall, it well deserved to be one of the top (overall and for now 2nd on the reveuwes)
Very cool idea!
Great interpretation of the theme. I had sketched and abandoned something similar---I'm so glad to see someone pursue it into a playable shape!
Reminds me of lemmings. Not sure if as designed but you can just start spawning the fleas heading RIGHT and most of the time then you have a pile that much easier to control.
That's a fantastic entry! Graphics are gorgeous, the music, although maybe a bit too short, is quite good, the idea after the theme is really innovative, gameplay is mostly fun. Even though I feel most levels you just need to keep pressing right and jumping and you'll likely hit the dog, it's still interesting enough for me to keep playing. The mechanic of moving controlling all of them at once is really good. When there's too many fleas, the delay in the input feels too much, but overall it's really well executed! Great job!
So charming. Love the hand drawn style
Makes sense theres infinite amount of flees haha. Beside the artstyle and relaxing game play, I also think the humor is on point.
Such a unique concept with really cool visuals. This was a very enjoyable game.
Idea is simple, but resulting gameplay is pretty deep. Cool!
Fun mechanic! Hard to control, but was fun anyways~
I felt very nostalgic playing this! Must be the physics, the cute graphics and the 16-bit sounds. Such a fun concept controlling the fleas, and it works too! Good job!
I love the concept of this game! The art style is pretty unique, too. I didn't like the unresponsive controls. I get that that's the point, and I get that the fleas being hard to control is the point, but it was still annoying. Sometimes, the dog's hitbox was too high and I'd slide right past him on on the ground. This frustrated me quite a few times on the level with two sawblades on the ground where if you run straight right, you die. I'd make it to the dog, but then slide past him and not score for those fleas. Overall, cool concept and good game!
Unique concept! The art style reminds me of my childhood
Why did I enjoy this game so much?! Every ounce of the game designer in me is screaming 'this is wrong', but somehow it works as a fun, enjoyable experience. I love the sketchy art, the dodgy physics, the unresponsive controls. And that poor dog's leg twitching away. My only minor gripe would be that the fleas are squares which doesn't really fit with the rest of the graphics. Maybe little sketchy dots would have suited better. But overall I loved this. Good stuff :8ball:
Fun game! The controls made it a bit frustrating to finish the level in the advanced ones but I really loved the music and the hand drawn art. Great entry well done :)
The music and visual style are absolutely stunning! I also loved the feeling of bouncing around like a flea—it added a lot of charm and fun to the game.
However, the unresponsive controls took away from the experience a bit. Instead of focusing on the level design, I found myself fighting with the jumps, which was a bit frustrating. Fixing this issue would make the game so much more enjoyable.
Overall, it’s a really fun concept, and with more responsive controls, it could be fantastic!
The game has a really unique art style and fantastic gameplay! I love that it has so many levels, making it super relaxing to play. The fact that it was all made by one person is truly impressive!
To me the climbing and jumping while waiting for more too spawn was a bit frustrating. I wondered what would happen to the gameplay if you have a fixed number of flees at the start that you have to finish the level with
A fun idea.
I was a little worried at the start, but it got more interesting in later levels. I feel like you could have cut out some of the earlier levels, so we would jump in to the interesting levels sooner.
Such a unique art style, love it! The fleas were a challenge to control but thats all part of the fun! Great stuff :)
Cute! I like the use of hand-drawn graphics. :) The concept is funny and the music fits well, and I like the scratching animation on the dog's leg. Gameplay-wise I guess it's a bit barebones as it felt like I could mostly just spam the buttons a bit and I would win even if I inefficiently got the fleas there one by one. Was fun to collect them into huge groups before moving tho. Overall neat but could use some work in that area. Nicely done!
