I totally trashed my idea for the card game I was working on and instead bring you this very crappy shooter! Aren't you excited? Other than the time limit, this entry would have qualified for the Compo but between life butting in and my other idea falling short, I had limited options.

I'm sure there are more than a few bugs. About 6 hours of work is all I put into this.

Tools:
* Unity 3D
* Bfrx for the lovely sound effects
* Paint.Net for the even more lovely graphics :rofl:

Your player is a bug spray can in the center of the screen, right clicking fires the sprayer once per click. Aim with your mouse in the direction you want to fire.

Shooting bugs (ants actually, never got a chance to implement anything else) increases your time limit and your score.
Missing with a puff of spray completely removes 1 second from your timer.
Bugs hitting you remove score as well as seconds from your timer.

Word of warning, bug spawning can literally occur anywhere within the camera's view, including right next to the player. If it immediately collides it just destroys the bug with no penalty but sometimes they'll be so close that you can't hit them.

If I have time over the next couple days I'll try to work out bugs but work will take up a lot of my time this week and not to mention I awoke this morning to some sort of crud.

Known Bug on Game Over screen, bottom left label should save "High Score"

Other Known Bugs:

* Sometimes a bullet/spray puff will get stuck on the screen. It'll destroy itself after 5 seconds. Cause? Not really sure. They can only collide with bugs and should destroy immediately after hitting but my best guess is there is an occasion where that doesn't occur correctly and a bug spawns right at the location where the bullet is at creating some sort of conflict.

* Bugs spawn completely randomly anywhere within the camera view. This should be changed to spawn either at the camera edges, just beyond the edge, or perhaps within a radius at certain points on the screen.

Planned Features:

* More bugs. Bees are on the list. Perhaps a roach as well.

* Weapons. A bug bomb is on the list. Also want to add some sort of cooldown to the current sprayer or a limited number of shots within a given time frame. Basically need to balance the game still.

* Music

* Animations
