Really enjoyed the art and thumbnail. I’m curious what this game is supposed to be about in general. My head canon is that the kid is trying to ascend to a cleaner room so they don’t have to clean their real one but the roaches are grounding them back into reality - preventing them from taking any shortcuts.

What absolutely carries this game is the presentation. The thumbnail on the itch.io page instantly caught my attention, and then the start menu and the in-game visuals completely delivered on that first impression. The art is genuinely beautiful.

I don’t know if you were the artist yourself or if someone else on the team handled it, but whoever made the visuals did an amazing job. Honestly, these are the kind of graphics that can absolutely make a game stand out in a jam. The style feels very unique and memorable.

The main issue for me is that the gameplay becomes repetitive pretty quickly. Most of the loop boils down to clicking bugs to increase the kill count while preventing them from reaching the mine, and after a minute or so I found myself mostly waiting just to see what the game over state looked like.

So personally, I don’t think the gameplay is the strongest aspect of the project. The real strength here is definitely the artistic side. But honestly, that presentation alone left a really strong impression on me because the visual identity is excellent.

Cool art. Could use some sound and switching of the enemies as we progress, but other than that it was pretty enjoyable.
