This was pretty fun! You incorporated the theme pretty well with how the bugs you’re facing get smaller as you progress, and the final sequence was unexpected and hilarious. The bullet patterns were pretty solid too, giving good opportunities to swoop in and swat the bugs.

really well made :)

I think it took me around 10 minutes to beat the game.

It was great! The game looks great, controls great and music is super great. These small sequences but you die in one hit are satisfying to beat and so is the progression between the 4 sequences. The game also delivers notably beautiful patterns to dodge, and the difficulty is perfect for the jam.

Maybe a few sound effects ...

Thanks for sharing!

I found this *horrendusly* funny, this was a really great little experience! i wish i had more sfx involved but the music slaps, the difficulty curve was nice and attacking enemies was satisfying! this is a slam dunk all around bud c:

IT was quite nice, the music was great. 

honestly took my a while to get used to dodging but overall it was fun. It was perfectly balanced between easy and hard.  Lovely patterns. 

I first saw it on discord, and it made em think that this is something unique.

Really cool and neat idea! I recognized the song Flight of the Bumblebee instantly as well haha. Really unique use of the theme! The art is also really unique. I couldn't beat the mosquito.

This game is very fun, I wanted to play this since I saw a preview on Discord, the music is great and each level has its own personality well defined

I also liked the visuals and the patterns, the fly it’s too strong and it’s too accurate. Also the fight is very active and with the song, it feels great to play and the intro of the level it’s very funny to me, the movement is also nice and despite being a short game, I had a very nice time playing this!

I can’t think of something negative, maybe that if you land a hit and die almost at the same time, the boss respawns with the next phase active instead of resetting but it doesn’t feel like a problem for how short the fights are and how good the hitbox is

Really good entry! :D

This was awesome. First off, really cool game page. I loved how well it matched the title screen and the overall style of the game.

The art is really unique and fits the concept so well. The background art for each bug complemented them nicely, and I loved all the boss title names too. The music you created was awesome, but the bee theme especially stood out. I actually hesitated to kill it at one point because I wanted to keep hearing it XD.

The little excerpt and art before the fly was hilarious too. Gameplay-wise, this was really fun. The controls felt responsive, which was important since the whole game is built around melee/swatting. The bullets were easy to see, and the attack patterns were good.

The final fly boss was done really well. I liked how its arsenal felt like a mix of the previous patterns all thrown at you at once. It was very challenging, and it kind of reminded me of Sans from Undertale, dodging everything until it finally gets tired and then wham, dead.

Great fun game, the bullet patterns were great and its nice that you made the controls snappy and responsive. But it was hard to notice if i really swatted or not there's missing feedback there, other than that a sweet little fun game!

Incredible. it's fun, simple, and the way the swatter was coded feels as if I'm really trying to swat an annoying bug. I really love the final boss theme, I'm a sucker for strange time signatures! The only thing it kinda loses points for is that there is no squash sfx but i'm really nitpicking when I say that
