Great art and music! Also good job making all of the environments fun and unique!

Okay this is a pretty fun game especially the sounds I really like

Music is awesome!

Overall, it's good, but when I click on a running cockroach, it doesn't always react.

Music is great, very fun game, I could sit here for hours playing this one

The sound effects and music are very fun and make squishing the roaches quite satisfying! It would've been nice to be able to reset individual levels though, since I had to restart the game a couple times when not all the squished bugs registered. Nice submission!

I love the pole dancing roach! 😅 I had trouble finding the bugs on the last stage, but not in a frustrating way, and I did eventually find them.

Even though it took a while for the cockroach to react and the frames felt really slow (could just be because I don't have my GPU working) I liked the style and the animation.

Roaches are my biggest phobia so I couldn´t play much but the game looks great and the mechanics are nice and smooth, great job!

Cute sound effects and nice visuals, despite the gross subject. Moving roaches would teleport when I clicked them, and I had to zoom out to be able to finish the last level.

The levels look great and i really like the little spirit leaving the roaches bodies. Plus squishing roaches is always satisfying.

Haha, how can squishing cockroaches be so delightful?! I love the concept and the execution (no pun intended!) - the art and audio is really impressive.

Buuut, I have some technical problems on my Mac M2: I think because it's retina display which has a "devicePixelRatio" of 2. It looks like the my.spline.design link does not account for this, so I only see 1/4 of the screen zoomed-in.

So I used the "small screen" version which works (but is small)... then around level 4 (the one with the metro card) I squish 3 cockroaches, but the death animation doesn't trigger when I squish 'em and the level doesn't end.

I'll try it at work today though on my ol' work laptop!

@mrspeaker Thanks for the detailed bug report (no pun intended). The web viewer is a bit of a mystery to me because the documentation isn't very detailed, but I'll try to figure it out.

I've never heard of Spline.design before, interesting! Music is nice and art is really good. I crushed all the bugs but I think they are coming back when I go to sleep... Maybe this is the start of a new genre: cozy horror.

I'm a winner! To be honest, when I first saw the name and title screen of the game I thought this was an adventure where you play as a cockroach. Suffice to say, my expectations were subverted :)

Anyway, this was great! I really enjoyed the graphics here, especially all the animations in the later levels and the various effects, such as the cockroach death or confetti ones. The sounds were very fun too, and some scenarios were hilarious! As others have said, squashing the moving roaches was a bit buggy sometimes, but otherwise things worked pretty smoothly for me. Overall, I really enjoyed it, awesome entry!
