Most fun i have had in a while! great job. very fun!

This game is really fun, keep up the good work!

Love the environments! very pretty

Not bad little game, took me a few minuets to figure out what i was actually doing, but i like it. decent little time passer! 

Honestly a really cool idea! keep up the good work I think you might be on to something!

Noted. Will consider more fluid aiming going forward. My inspiration was along the lines of nes titles such as contra. But I can see why more fluid aiming could benefit.

I agree it is a bit more on the challenging side intentionally. I know some people enjoy that so I made some of the achievements downright evil. I will consider adding an additional game mode that brings the difficulty down in the future though as I feel like over all accessability and fun are the most important things. Thank you for the feedback!

Hey everyone!

I'm an independent developer working under the name KushZombie, and I recently released my first game, Pest Control!

The idea actually started when I was a kid. I wanted to create my own over-the-top action game about an exterminator fighting a massive underground insect infestation. Decades later, I finally brought it to life.

What's in the game:

• Five complete levels with five unique bosses
• Retro-inspired 2D run-and-gun action
• Five weapons and 20 achievements
• Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulties
• Original hard-rock soundtrack generated with my locally hosted Aubum AI system
• Keyboard, controller, and mobile support
• Free browser play and an optional Windows download

I handled the original concept, creative direction, and playtesting, working with AI tools including Claude and ChatGPT on development.

This has been a personal passion project, and I'd love to hear what other players think, especially about the bosses and overall gameplay.

Thanks for checking it out!
