That was clever and pretty funny

Very nice game, I enjoyed playing it and trying to figure out what the fly could do to get out.

Dude, awesome game. It's somehow quite satisfying being a fly and annoying the hell out of humans and their pets.

Good job. Really liked the music, artwork was great, and exploring this world was pretty fun. And so funny too.

Really liked the art style, funny, simple controls, and not too long. Great stuff!

Very clever! This is a really good game. A little short, there are many more humans to 'feed'

Bravo, sir. That was hilarious.

This is awesome. Love the art...and I love how it was so natural to do all the fly stuff. xD

Excellent! This is one of very very few games I've recommended to people outside the community.

Really good! I can't seem to find anything to complain about here :P simply brilliant! Good interpretation of the theme, clever solutions, not too long or difficult, and fitting graphics. Audio was maybe a bit too repetitive, but eh, that's being nitpicky. Good job!!

First game I've played so far that's done well in every category, good job.

This was hilarious! Very well done. I had a fit of uncontrollable laughter when I first woke the guy up. The controls are smooth and well done. I enjoy the change in perspective when you go to an area of interest. The animation was also enjoyable. The only problem is that it was too short and I wanted more interactions. I hope you expand on this cuz it was really super fun and hilarious!

Jajaja! When I started playing I said to myself: "and this bug ¿doesn't eat? and ¡tachánnnn! My wishes are orders ¡ñam!" XD
Congratulations/Felicidades!

I think I didn't have this much fun playing any other LD game! So cool! It's got a really cinematic feel to it. Love the zooming in and out as you go into areas. The flying around was very satisfying because of that.

I could definitely play a game like this for hours if you make enough content.

One tiny suggestion, make the game boundaries actual visible things, so that it doesn't feel weird that the fly can't suddenly keep going right or left for no reason.

Fantastic job.

Flawless little adventure game. Not only one of the best games this LD, but also one of the most funniest in my opinion.

Great little game in all its simplicity. This one actually made me laugh. And congratulations on your graphics and music.

Ha! I loved this. Great artwork, definitely the best I've seen this Ludum Dare. Fun game too, great idea!
MadGnomeGamer12 May 2012, 21:45
Awesome! Always wanted to do this! (Put poo on someone's pill and buzz around as a fly annoying everyone, I mean.)

Couldn't figure out what to do after the fan stopped and the bathroom door was open.

short but sweet. the flight mechanics were well tuned. loved the sound effect when bumping into stuff. some funny moments. took a while to figure out how to 'interact' in this adventure game.
Jigxor13 May 2012, 06:02
That was amazing! It was really fun to just be a fly and explore the room, and I laughed really hard when I worked out some of the 'puzzles'.

Overall, amazing game! Great job :)
