First of all congrats on your first jam submission!

As it stands, the "writing code" gimmick is a bit too easy: you just have to mash on your keyboard while smashing the bugs with your mouse. It does not distract from being able to squash de bugs. An easy fix would be to have to type specific things rather than gibberish.


However it still a great first jam submission (of many, I hope!)

really like this game. i couldn't tell but do the different color bugs represent their speed?

Developer

Thank you! They probably should have been related to the speed of the bugs, but I just randomized the speed and colors separately lol

Hilarious game. A really good idea for a first jam game that you executed wonderfully. You should be proud! Great work!

Hah, yeah it does feel like that as the programmer, also writing the code: "for deltatime in ammo", no wonder bugs are introduced. Well done :).

Funny but pretty lacking in idea and gameplay. Also too easy. Good luck on your next game
