I like how the frog's tongue looks like a sword! Great job doing all the 3D modeling for this, it's not easy doing that in 3 hours (I've dropped out of multiple 3 hour jams attempting 3D). I think the good flies should be more common

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it - i was inspired by an old ps3 game - 3d dot game heroes - where your sword grows as you play

I just couldn't find enough healthy flies to eat... and zombie fly swarms were gangin up on me... Which was kind of fun. I would have really liked any sense of my movement except my relative positoin to the enemies though. Other than thet, I applaude the wack idea!

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it

I think it's a bit hard to figure out what to do as a player in this game, it took me a long time to realize just how to attack with my tongue and I'm not sure if I'm doing it right but it my understanding of how to play is that you swipe through flies with the tongue and then their internal HP depletes by 1, then eventually they lose some amount of HP, they disappear and you get one point. I think some visual or sound feedback in addition to some visual effect for each successful damage point accumulated on a fly would help the feedback a lot, if you feel like working on it more. I do think it is appealing in the theme and the tongue sword is one of the more creative ideas I've seen in the jam. Also love the 3d models and the general eerie feel of being out on the fly battlefield and being hunted by flies rather than having innate power over them is intruiging.

Glad you enjoyed it  Thanks very much for the feedback :D 
I really enjoyed working on this, I might continue to work on it and improve it the way I wanted to without the dirty solutions that a jam requires

I like the unique attack mechanic and overall concept :) Solid. I just hope there was some additional difficulty ramp as after a while I could just stand still and spin in a circle to gain a ridiculous score :P

Glad you enjoyed it! Inspired from an old game I loved many years ago - 3D Dot Game Hero

I love the 3d models used! Id reccomend adding a textured background cause it took me a few minutes to realize if i was moving or not. This was really fun and unique though, I love it!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it :D I was imagining some kind of marshland but ran out of time IRL to keep working on it

Solid concept, the actual attacking doesn't always seem to work, and I wish more regular fly's spawned.  But for three hours it works and is better than I could do in 3D thats for sure.

Developer

Thanks! glad you enjoyed it! I made the regular flies spawn a lot slower so there wasn't so many heals as a pseudo balancing
