Great game, love the graphics and squashing the bugs (felt quite satisfying)! Nice words that appear when you squash things and effects etc. Nice original ideas, never played as a bug squasher before!

Feel free to check out my game if you have time before the rating ends, if you haven't already (I can't remember)!

Developer

Glad I could provide some satisfying bug squashing entertainment for you! Thanks for taking the time to play my game.

And yes, yours was one of the first games I checked out when the jam rating first started. Great work!

thanks! Right I must have forgotten sorry

The VFX work is awesome! You've made great use of particles and effects, I love it! The gameplay loop reminds me of a survivors-like I played on PICO-8.

Developer

Ha, thanks a lot for noticing! I tried my best to work with what I could within the few days I had before submitting. Ooooh and PICO-8!  I really, really should get around to finishing a little game in that soon:)

man you really feel the game juice dripping off it. Really great job. 

Developer

For some reason the phrase "game juice dripping off" just made me laugh:) Thanks a lot for playing and all the kind words!

that jump feels so good , nice art too !!

Developer

Thanks! I wanted to add a little more to make that jump really SMASH but I ended up having to fix a little more bugs towards the end that took up a lot more of my time:)

Why isn't this game already up for sale on itch?! For me, it's one of the most polished: it's beautiful, with no bugs that I could find. It's rewarding for the player, which makes it really enjoyable to play!

Developer

haha, I appreciate you taking the time to play the game and say so many nice things. I tried my best to keep it simple enough to polish what I could for the jam! Thanks again! 

Submitted(+1)

Really fun game, nice work!

The game is fun, its polished enough, sound used fit the game, I love it. the game is simple but executed well.

Developer

Thank you so much! I tried to keep it simple and scope it small enough for the time I had within the jam. I appreciate you playing and leaving a comment!

fun to play and i love the tutorial part, i love how you decided to explain that! 

Developer(+1)

I know it was fairly difficult for some people to read, but I also tried to at least explain things in the description of my page as well. But thank you for playing and I'm glad you appreciated the tutorial part!

Great game

Developer

Thank you, I appreciate you stopping by to play it!

Hey. Cool game, I enjoyed playing. Really like the BAM, SPLAT, BOOM etc etc worked really well :)

Developer(+1)

Ha, thank you for very much. I actually wanted to hand draw them instead of using a font but I was doing my best to quite literally get rid of as many bugs as possible before submitting annnnd that can always take more time than you plan for.

Submitted(+1)

They really fit regardless. Honestly, a much better decision from you was to bug fix and I feel you on the time front for that. So many times I thought I'll go fix this relatively trivial bug to just get it out the way, only for it to be a complete time sap where I could of spent that time doing something I needed for the core game at the time haha.

Daaamn, what an eye candy! Like others have mentioned, it's a really juicy entry—but in a way that’s balanced, not overwhelming. The music and sound effects fit the gameplay perfectly.

Moving the character felt smooth, and firing the gun was super satisfying. You also managed to make the slam feel really powerful—awesome job!

I'm definitely saving this game in my Game Jam Gems collection. Are you planning on expanding it further?

Once again, fantastic work!

Developer

Ha, I appreciate your feedback and all the enthusiasm. I do plan on at least touching up a few technical issues and expanding it a bit after the jam, so feel free to follow or keep an eye out for those updates! Thanks again for playing and specifically pointing out the things that caught your eye.

Submitted(+1)

The game is overflowing with juice—I love it! It’s fun and addictive. Great job!

Developer

Honestly wish I could've had more time to add more, especially when choosing upgrades or with the jump/slam. But thank you for playing and for all the kind words!

Submitted(+1)

This was a wonderful game. I felt the sound effects and visuals that went with them were amazing. 

Developer

Haha, wellll I tried my best to at least make it as cohesive as possible! Even if, admittedly, it's a little messy. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

overall the  best game ive played yet. please try my game

Developer

Aw thats quite a compliment! Thank you for taking the time to play my game and leave a comment. I'll do my best to spend some time with yours.

Great game! I think the visuals are really good. I love the comic aesthetic too.

Developer

I really wish I would've had more time to add more effects for that comic aesthetic but I ran into a few bugs that I had to fix first that took up too much time:( I was inspired to do the jam about bugs with this kind of aesthetic after seeing a random childrens book about "Insect Superpowers" at the local library. Thanks for playing and the kind words!

Submitted(+1)

I liked the snappy gameplay and visuals! Solid game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I know it's a bit simple but I was really challenging myself to make something that worked within the few days I had before submitting:)

One of the best survival games here.

I was surprised to see that I survived but didn't beat my high score!


Developer(+1)

Aw thank you for the adorable little artwork! And yes, that's a  bit of a "bug" that I wasn't able to fix before submitting. There should've been a huge bonus added to the score for finishing but instead...there isn't:( Congrats for surviving though, it gets pretty rough towards the end!

just rated , fun game man i love it !!

Developer

Haha, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
