Flycatcher

Flycatcher is a very hastily made game about catching flies. You are a spider running around the arena. You will be given a 1 minute headstart to string webs together before the flies start spawning. Then, you will have 2 minutes to eat as many flies that have been caught in your web as you can! How many can you get?

NOTE: You *will* experience lag and bugs. If it gets too much to bear, feel free to stop, close the window, delete the program, and play a better game. :)

NOTE 2: After beating my head against the wall for a day, *this game now has an HTML5 build*. If you are having trouble downloading the game here, use the link to the Itch page below.

Hi! I'm having trouble downloading the game, whenever i click the .zip download it just takes me to a mostly blank html page with just the words "not found", maybe you could try uploading it onto itch.io? It seems like a really good game from just the pictures given

@shakirovich @reyansh @hakusai Ok, so the Not Found page appears for me too, and I really don't know why. I added an Itch page in case the problems persist. Enjoy!

Overall, pretty fun game. I was confused in the beginning but after playing it for some time I started to understand. The game froze on my at the end of it, but overall a fun game and fit the theme pretty well.

Tried your game! Although there is a learning curve for controls, the web mechanics are really cool. I especially liked that you can walk on the webs you create.

This game has lots of potential, buti thought it was super hard to control.. maybe it lacks a bit of signs and feedback. I couldn't tell why i couldn't move sometimes haha
