The fake circles add a sneaky little twist. Nice work!

I agree with the other comment that I didn't understand how it fit with the theme. But it is a polished simple game with good particle effects and also complete. I was not able to beat the game though... It's my fault for not being good at these games cuz the gameplay was smooth.

I did not finish the game because i am terrible. Also there are some fps drop in my second playthrough. Nice to have a rhytm game in this jam, actually. You gotta tell the player to play it on mobile, i think it is more enjoyable.

I played it again on mobile, oh this is very much fun. It is for mobile actually.

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing. It seems that the game unintentionally have the best experience on mobile devices. Even I haven't tried it properly on mobile. Trying it right now

its fun, but the fact that im terrible at rhythm games dont let me finish it lol. good game!!

Developer

Thank you for playing ! It's fine, even I can't finish the last phase of the game

A rhythm game about swatting bugs in time with the music, with a lying circle you must not hit, is such a fun and original way to use The Lie. Building a whole game around a song you stumbled on and loved is the best kind of jam energy, and I really like the title.

I'd also be so happy if you could check out my entry, Forever. It's Valentine's-week dating-app dread in about 10 minutes, with two endings. Honest ratings and feedback are really appreciated, and thanks for reading!

Hey thank you for playing ! You really get me, of all the jams I made this one is the one impromptu-jammy one that I've felt like jamming. Have even a tiny part of material ? go with it!

Oh, I've played your game and rated it. It's a really good tactile and well thought out game, a unique take on the theme !

thank you!!

Catchy song. Simple gameplay loop. Just not sure how it fits in with the theme.

Developer

Thanks ! My bad on that one. It was supposed to be if you miss your swat you will bloodied your hand and the music became more muffled. But I think I'm doing a bad job delivering that across. The fact that you missed that is a mistake on my part.

I'll improve moving forward !

I liked it, especially that I could use my touchscreen to play. Also, I love the song, it reminds me of Geometry Dash xD Good job

Developer(+1)

Touchscreen is the ideal settings to play this game, yeah I agree. | Heard a lot about geometry dash, way too much that I'm tempted to try it. Thanks  you for the kind words !

I liked the game! It reminds me of osu! with the rhythm-based clicking mechanics, and it feels really fun to play. The game looks cool and is easy to understand, but I couldn't really figure out how it fits the jam theme. Maybe there's some hidden meaning I'm missing. I can only get so far before the game speeds up and becomes almost impossible for me, haha. Overall, really cool game!

Osu IS my influence for this gameplay, I just found a horror-themed music an instantly come up with the gameplay. Regarding the theme, yeah it was my poor job of delivering that. It was supposed to be a harmless swatting of insects turn into a bloody mess because you miss the insect. I'm hoping that aspect won't hinder you having a blast playing the game. Thanks for trying out the game !
