Woah such a fun game. Really unique concept well executed! Loved the pattern the simple flies were flying in - hard to hit and rewarding when you hit them! Also the effect where you freeze everything after a succesful hit is such a nice touch *chef's kiss*. The game gets hard towards the end, but it really kept me on my toes and improved my reflexes I think :D The music, although played in a short loop, really helped create the slapstick comedy vibe.

Thank you so much for the kind comment, I'm glad you had fun :D It was my first time trying the 'Hit Stop' thing in a game and it feels so good I'll always use it from now on. Similarly that feature accidentally created a cool effect when using the electric lamp surge power :D I hope you were able to see it.
What a lovely chaotic game! It is a bit too difficult for me though but like others have said, I'm definitely coming back after the jam is over to try it a few more times!

Hunger NightmareI really liked the game, the different enemies and the two bonuses help avoid redundancy. I also really enjoyed the art. However, some enemies make the game extremely hard

Star SuckersThanks for playing! :D
I see that difficulty is an issue, especially during a game jam. I am working on a fix with some tweaks to make the game not necessarily easy but at least more manageable to reach the final boss.
The update will have to wait until voting period ends as the jam does not allow to modify submitted builds until then.
That was really fun!
And I really liked the difficulty, although if there really is a boss I think you should've made the game a bit easier, just for the jam. I doubt many will get to see the boss.
I sure didn't, despite getting to sub 20 countless times, but maybe I'm just bad. :D
Will try again later, once I've rated everyone else :)

ComprogeistThanks for playing! I know what you mean, it is quite difficult, somewhat on purpose. But I do want people to reach the final boss at least, so I'm considering tweaking some things to make it a bit easier.
I'll publish an updated build after some more testing on this regard. Thank you for the feedback :D
I love everything about this, the art, the story, and the music. It all so good, great job

You Can LoseMy hands hurt from all the clicking but I love this game, the concept and the gameplay mechanics. It's just fun, it almost feels like a bullet hell game but where your mouse is the thing that is dodging.

The Last LightI LOVE this game. Kinda wish there was some kind of indicator to let me know if I was doing good other than just hitting bugs until I lose.
