It's a nice clicker game with a very beautiful retro menu that I really like.

This was actually so fun especially with the upgrades, I was a bit skeptical if just clicking would be too hardcore for me but i really enjoyed this!

Also my face when i defeated hard mode and saw that there is an impossible mode O_O gg 10 squished bugs out of 10

Congrats on beating impossible mode! Which build did you use? Thats a good note for myself to include that on the end screen

Thanks! I played the web version

Oh I meant upgrade build lol

Reply
NertsalSubmitted102 days ago

Oh i see lol! I don’t remember exactly, i think i had antivirus, fireworks, but the main thing was death mark. I feel like it’s a bit op :D I also found a tech with pressing both LMB and space for the extra clicking speed, was very useful!

Aesthetically, that was incredible! Very cohesive from the art, to the music, to the gameplay. High energy and very well made. Having the bugs follow specific patterns made it actually possible so that is a really nice thing that could easily be done poorly

Love the visual and sfx, very polished overall. I had to play the window build cuz my laptop can't handle the web build. Prob should keep that in mind for the future.

I don't know if it's a bug or the bugs are just too dark but there are times when the level doesn't finish even though all bugs have been squished. Cool implementation of a simple concept.

first time ive gotten a report of that. do you know what wave type it happens on? There are darker sprites that exist but those are fake bugs

Reply
NemoPearwallSubmitted102 days ago

It actually happened on the first level of my second playthrough. I was thinking maybe I squished the bug too fast? Also there were times when some bugs would not spawn at all (or do they not spawn on the cracks?). The game thought I squished the bugs though so it was fine.

Reply
AtegonDeveloper100 days ago

did you use web or windows and if web then what browser

Reply
NemoPearwallSubmitted100 days ago

I played it in Edge. Regarding the bugs not spawning, I think the same thing happened during thatmanrobin's stream (but I don't think he paid much attention to it so I'm not sure if that's intentional).

Your game turned out so cool! I was able to watch your stream when you started making this on Wednesday night. Great job, that was awesome, I had a blast!

Insanely polished visuals and audio.  The level music also went way harder than it had any right to. The overall UI design is a real standout here, it's top notch.

I do love the art style of your game. (I think its one thing that lacks in my game is it doesn't feel very uniform). But oh well!

Hi. I just played your game. I really enjoyed killing bugs and I want to congratulate you all for the style of the game (It's like a retro windows look) and the sense of desperation because of having the screen blocked or broken and hearing the countdown. Excellent game.
