Actually a really cool idea! I wish it wasn't so small though, it was a bit hard to see and control. Felt quite polished.

Actually a really cool idea! I wish it wasn't so small though, it was a bit hard to see and control. Felt quite polished.
This was a really good game. I only want to mention that it could be nice to have hover states, and larger hitboxes on the interactables. This is a story that only video games can tell. I can tell you have amazing skills at balancing and designing puzzly things.
I really like the art and the atmosphere! I didn't understand right away that I had to reach the post and not the bat itself, but then it became very enjoyable to play!
Really neat mechanic! loved the repelling light-mechanic
Really nice! Took me a while to understand I can turn lights on again to save the ones falling down. Great atmosphere with the sounds. Good, clean graphics. Just very good overall!
Really enjoyed the game! The physics feel great, and the simple pixel art gives it a nice, clean look. Moving the bugs around using the lights was really cool and made the puzzles fun to solve. Overall, it's a polished and creative experience!
Great idea and atmospheric implementation! 🎮✨ I especially liked the game mechanics with light control - an interesting solution that adds dynamics! 💡 The graphics are clean, the sound perfectly complements the atmosphere, and the game feels well balanced. Overall, an impressive work! 👏
You recorded sounds by yourself? I love them.
Really liked this; good physics trying to get the bugs to sling over to the other lights. Great entry!
I REALLY loved the night ambience sound! Some levels feel a little bit random. But it is a very creative and atmosperic game!
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEE the comcept for this game. Fucking amazing. Nice job!!!!! A great idea that was well executed
This is an amazing concept. My buddy @adrien-tremblay literally DM'ed me about this game. I finished it before him. It's a really original concept with interesting levels. Sad it ended so fast! But great entry!
The gameplay is so weird yet so clever and satisfying. I've never played something like this before. This is good, well done!
This was a nice change of pace from the other games that I played. It was calm, not complex in the least bit, and easy to understand. I didn't feel rushed, but I still felt good when I got the bugs to fling to their destination. The sounds didn't need to be anything more, other than maybe a slight buzz of a street lamp or something. I think this is a great minimalistic entry, but I wish there were more levels. I really like this!
Very beautiful mechanics, sometimes it was really challenging, he I enjoyed every minute!
What an awesome puzzler! Incorporates the theme so well, love it!
woooo i love the idea, it's so goofy! it's fun to take something you see everyday (or here everynight) and make it a game! :>
Cool graphics, nice physics. I struggled a bit with exactly how it is supposed to work, but eventually I figured it out. Maybe a little music and a few more levels would've made it even better. Nice job.
Really hard but really smart game. Congrats !
Very cool core mechanic with light & flies. Game is very polished from the art perspective. Chaotic traectory of insects are nicely done but hard to control.
Hard but awesome atmosphere, a little bit difficult to understand how to influence the flies
Your game is amazing !! so clever OMG
Your concept is a pretty nice finding. It would certainly deserve you to go on with it on a more polished version (not that this version is rushed or something like that, we're doing a game jam and this is neat in this context) There can be a lot of levels and additional concepts. It is fun and relaxing - while being hard enough to not be boring. Good job.
I'm gonna share it.
really nice idea, some fiddly fun! I think the black transition could have been a little bit lighter so you can actually see the transition better instead of having just the contents blacked out (just felt a little odd)
Very cool concept ! And very elegantly done, congrats !
A few things felt a little janky, like the directional lights, and the bugs generally seem to act a little unnaturally/intuitively in how they react to the different lights, but that's if I ignore the fact this is a jam game. This was still pleasant to play, and is a really cool idea. I'd be interested in seeing how this turned out if you turned it into a full (mobile?) game.
Great work!
Really cool idea!
The humor feels a bit out of place with the exceptional night atmosphere, the concept is unique, and I haven't seen a game use the theme like that before. It's impressive how a simple idea can create such a great game. It's one of the best compo games I’ve seen so far. Well done!
I liked this! It's nice that you can have puzzles that feel both physics, timing and logic reliant ;) The little phrase, "too much bug loss" is a good pun as well. I have nothing bug compliments to give!
Hello, friend! Our games are very similar! We both turn lights on and off for bugs. Yours is more physics-based and mine is like a precision platformer without precision. What a nice occurrence. Great game btw short and sweet!
One of the most unique mechanics on this game, I was upset when game ended on introduction of red light, I was hoping for mind bending puzzles, but it was very good while it last, I would recommend to make different cover to get more audience, this game deserves attention.
Very clever and original mechanics! It gets HARD very quickly, the orientable spot is ... wow, very difficult to get a hang of. I enjoyed it nonetheless, congratulations on a very nice submission!
This one’s a total gem! The mix of light and physics is brilliant, and the graphics are simple yet super effective. It’s got that perfect balance of fun and challenge, and every part of it just works. Audio is great, though the humor doesn’t stand out much. Overall, a top-tier game!
Nice game! Gameplay is really unique, that's a cool idea that goes well with the theme. I don't find it particularly fun to play even tho it's innovative and well made, it's probably not my taste. Great art style for a compo, looks relatively quick to make yet it has a very clean and finished look. Great job on the game!
Nice little game! Didn't take too long to get through it once I got the hang of things, but I enjoyed it! It could have perhaps used a little feedback when a bug was lost (seems like they could go a little under/off the various screen edges and sometimes come back?), just a "splat" sound or something =). I love the simple elegance of this.
I thought the concept was great and the sound effects were superb in making it feel like it was actually night. The game looks simple yet good. But the mechanics are very difficult. I couldn't figure out the level with two straight lights out. I think it was called "gap crossing". Anyway I really liked the game until I got stuck there :).
