Movement didn't work. Finding bugs seems more random luck than anything. Sounds were annoying. The game wasn't very responsive and lagged everything else. Looked fairly nice though.

I used to do this as a kid... Oh my. Nice idea! The bugs were a little hard to find though.

timmik9420 Apr 2015, 20:29

I didn't see any bugs. And this game don't have exit button and pause button.

Pretty decent game. This was actually my first idea, but went for something else, the magnifying glass i mean. I found only 1 bug, got 330points...its pretty hard, but it works alright. :)

It's so hard to spot the bugs and too easy to lost 'em :(

Origninal concept en a truly unconventional weapon. Good have had some music and tension. Great job for the limited time!

I liked the 'ant' in the tophat. Made me laugh. Good sound, and one really powerful magnifying glass!

liniix20 Apr 2015, 21:31

few more bugs to burn would have been nice xD, but overall good concept and good game

Game started fine, except for a huge lag spike at start it worked fine after that. Wasn't able to find a single bug unfortunately, and there is just no strategy which makes sense, so it's mostly about luck which makes me really frustrated. Nice connection to the theme, and a fun contrast to "a bugs life" which I used to watch as a kid :)

Nice game. hard to control the thing i belive.
Thanks for sharing.

this is a cruel game,they not even burn, they just violently blown up :))
nice idea, i actually did this when i'm in elementary school, bring back old memories :))
btw sometimes even though i right above it the bugs didnt change color, but still output the "hissing" voice

The beam of light is hard to control.
Found 2 insects only...

Psychopath... :-)

Blobo22 Apr 2015, 21:04

I like the concept, but i couldnt find any bugs in all 5 times i tried to play. the title screen and name was pretty great though, i have to admit that made me laugh.

StrayByte22 Apr 2015, 21:04

Could not find bugs. I probably missed something :<

kunzbe22 Apr 2015, 21:13

i liked the base idea with the magnifier glass. I maybe you two could have done a bit more with it like sometimes the glasses are needed vs. sometimes not. I dont know... a bit more varity

Really clean looking, really hard to find bugs! Thought the game was a cruel joke, but I finally got him! Edit difficulty, maybe hit 3/7 or something
