Time flies by - For some it's more than a phrase. And for some others it can be quite a hard lifestyle if they have only ten seconds to survive!

In Flying or Dying, you control a bold little fly that found its way into a restaurant. Its objective: Feast on anything that looks like a quick snack! In a restaurant, there's lots to explore for a tiny little fly. Find out for yourself!

@der-finski It was indeed me. I also did the Frog sound :D
And yeah, we already heard about those driver issues. I guess it is because DX12...but that's just a guess.

Nice game, the theme of being a fly is fun.

This is the fly simulator I didn't know I needed! A lot of fun though the connection to the theme was a bit forced and not necessary. Great job!

I'm realy sorry but I think that the rotating camera on every hit is a terrible idea ! ^^'
Anyway it look pretty nice and you can realy feel what the bzzzzzzzz life is.

Super fun games!! like the player control, love the speed effect, The sound design is amazing, the 3D artistes literraly crushed it & special mention for the 2D artistes. Welcome in my top 5 games I played

I really liked the concept and it is fun to control the fly and see the possible interactions. The spin when you collide with something is too nauseating for me, so I had to stop after one run, but it was good!

Pretty fun concept, the controls are kinda hard for me. Hitting space button to go up feels logical for some reason. The sound and visual effect for speeding up is very good

The concept was really fun, but the spinning camera on every hit made me sick really fast.
I must admit that the kill cam when my fly plunged right into the wine followed by the Dark souls "you died" screen made me burst out laughing

I also loved the frog, and was quite pleased to see that she actually would kill me

Funny concept

I would definitely remove the collision->spinning. It was fun in the 1st time, but in the second time it was already annoying. Escpecially because the hitbox for the fly felt like size of a watermelon.

But the game was great! I feel like this was maybe top 5 games that I have played. The map, graphics and sounds were impressive. And even the animations were great! And the Dark Souls death screen gave me a laugh!

Now I want to be a fly. That one was fun and also funny! Good take on the theme. Spinning camera was a bit much after a while. At some point I had enough of these mean chefs and murderous frogs and just flew out the window! Some objectives would be nice. Like get into 3 soups or fly in someones face.

Hope you had fun making it!

Interesting idea, it was was fun to be a fly and annoy people.
I really didn't like the spin effect when you bump into something though.
eronsh7 Oct 2022, 17:41
I liked how you used the theme and the mechanics created to the fly lifetime, very fun! I had some difficulty controlling the flight but the general feeling was very good!
I loved the animations and dynamics involved in killing her too! Haha well done!

Awesome job! Not much more to say, excpet I really enjoyed it. Got like 1650 points. Very fun, the rotation where you hit the objects is a bit exaggerated due to the colliders, but even so, it's quick enough to not disrupt the player. I do feel like there should have been more to suck on in the kitchen, but that none the less it was quite enjoyable!

1950pts! The game is easy to understand, I had fun running through the level. The style, the animations and the camera positioning worked great, it's actually ambitious for a jam game.

Right now once we had fun interacting with everything the game becomes repetitive but I think the concept of being an annoying flies has some potential on the long run.

I would be nice to have keys to go up and down no matter where we look (usually space and 'c' or LeftControl).
