Fun game, love the turtle and bug sprites! The ladybugs are sneaky and the gameplay is very classic

Would be nice to expand the radius of where the flyswatter hits a bit too as sometimes felt like I’d clicked on a bug a couple times without it registering

Great work!

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback! Yes, the fly swatter does have some issues. This was my first game, and I used simple methods for collision detection, which led to some problems

This is pretty fun. You nailed the background ambient sound. It really made me remember the summer days with bugs flying around. Really made me want to swap those bugs. Great Work!

One thing I could like to suggest is to add a little animation on the impact (or particles) to give a feedback, so the player wold know the hit area and the game would feel more juicy. 

Developer

Thank you for the great feedback and the excellent suggestion. Yes, it's a good idea and it would make the player feel better.

I loved the pixel art it was pretty cool I also hate bugs so it's always nice to squash them however it sometimes did not trigger the sounds, but I was playing on the web so maybe that is why and the clicks could have been a little more responsive but good jobb I always enjoy squashing bugs

Yeah, the squish sound was a bit broken. This was my first game, so I couldn't iron out all the bugs — and it behaves differently on every system lol.
Thanks for your feedback.

I wish the game reacted a bit more when I clicked, just a basic animation on the swatter would have been a welcome addition. The bugs are well made, and perfectly disgusting when you crush them. I don't know why they're attacking a poor turtle though :(

Thanks for playing and for the detailed feedback. I agree that a swatter animation would improve the feel, and I'll look into it for future versions. Glad the bug designs worked for you!
