SICK GAME I LOVE CRUSHING FLIES
The game is cute but I have played very similar games before... It was excited and nervous when ants get close to the cake
I don't have much feedback to give, but I figured I'd let you know that I did keep mixing the buttons up every time I wanted to switch to rooms 1 and 3, in case others have the same issue (or it might just be a me thing!)
I kept thinking the minimaps of the rooms were in order from 1 to 3 vertically, so every time I wanted to go to the top room in the list, I would press 1, which would instead send me to the bottom room.
this was small but fun. could've used more juice when smashing bugs, and the other views kinda obscure the one you're looking at. would be good to keep the game contained to an inner view with the other ones visible on an outside border.
Cute game, nice and got stressful quick switching back and forth. Nice job finishing something for the jam!
Whack-a-Mole on three fields! Quite nice - the only issue I encountered is that room ui would cover too much of the screen on the left so it was harder to get bugs in there. Time pause was clutch! Would love bit more variety of perks too - like instant nuke or something of sorts!
My anxiety spiked whenever I heard a bite coming from a different room ha. Would be nice to have a way to maybe see behind the maps on the left as when a big group of bugs approached from there all one can do is wait for them to get dangerously close to the center.
Swapping rooms is a nice little touch. Protecting food is a relatable goal. And let's face it, cockroaches are definitely the strongest of all insects, this game really hit the nail on the head with that. It’s cathartic to smash bugs, and the sound is so satisfying. The cameras covering part of the screen is a bit frustrating, especially when I’m trying to squash a bug behind them. I think having a way to turn them on or off would help. I also think the game would feel more rewarding if we could save our food somehow, as seeing the insects win every time feels a bit unrewarding. It is a solid entry overall. Well done!
This game is indeed hell. Played it for the first time and it actually gave me anxiety. Really fun :D
this was a really fun game, i love killing bugs before they get on my food
Was fun squashing the bugs. Was tricky keeping track of the 3 screens at once (in a good way). Also having clocks you can click to pause the bugs was a great idea. Wish it had a full screen button so the game wasn't so tiny though. Also I'm not sure if it's intended but you can click on the camera on the left to squash bugs on any of the screens from one screen. Maybe it would be good if instead clicking on the mini screens swapped to that screen that way there is a mouse only option? Overall a fun entry :D.
This is fun. It's fun to swat at bugs, and this provides me all the fun of swatting without the worry of them actually touching my food. Good job!
Quite fun, and having mini screens in the corner to see all 3 rooms is really nice! The variety of different bugs plus having to switch between the rooms and use multiple squishes sets the chaotic mood well.
Cute game! I would've loved to see a bit more polish on the UI side, such as highlighting around which room is currently selected, as well as a more stylized score counter. Also maybe having the room overviews not be blocking the current room would be great but I completely understand, it's a jam game after all. Overall fun game, great work!
