It's a nice clicker game with a very beautiful retro menu that I really like.
thanks!
Cool game, loved the anti spam mechanic of the glass breaking
thanks!
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
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
thank you! 🐛
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.
thanks! what computer/laptop specs do you have so I know what to test with (if you're willing to share that)
Amazing visuals & sfx, got into the game instantly!! Very well polished also
thank you!
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
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.
did you use web or windows and if web then what browser
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!
thank you! 🐛
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.
Really well executed project with great visuals and gameplay!
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!

First game jam ahaha
Visuals are great. i like the concept of fighting computer malwares.
fun game with very cool visuals!
Good game check my game
Wow this is even harder than squashing bugs in real life! Very fun and meta, even though I was bad at playing it :D
The glitch effects are delightful!
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.
game looks and plays veryy nicely ! The glitch effect look stunning :) cool music also !
Like the game was very nice i like the sound design alot aswell as the clean UI
Pretty fun! Works almost like an aim trainer!
