Exciting concept if a bit confusing at first, holding down the left click to group the humans doesn't seem to have a cost or punishment for overuse, attacks from flies are very quick with little telegraphing, overall a nice fast pace game

The art is great, but the music is sooooo good! Love how you implemented the concept of a fly buzz into it!
I also like that depending on the color of the item it makes the human swarm go slow! It makes you more aware of what you pick up while also discouraging just moving the mouse around fast. Great design right there!
Maybe clarifying that the color of the items indicates that on the instructions, or making the colors stand out more would have helped me understand the mechanic better at first.
Overall great work, and lovely spin on the theme!

Ruddy's Dungeon ServiceI don't know anything about 3D art but the fact that you managed to create all this in 48 hours and have the game ready is pretty cool. I really liked the housefly model. The game too was overall so colorful. good job! (it did get a little laggy but its okay since you cant really go for optimization in such a short jam)

Donkus the BraveI really like the reverse fly swatter idea, really fun, and the music+art is really good! Great job!
I think the menu is broken because I couldn't press options or credits
