PLEASE PLAY ON ITCH.IO: https://jomnaq.itch.io/over-lord-of-the-flies <3


It's a swat-or-be-swatted world! In (Over)Lord of the Flies, you and your best fly-foe take command of fly-ghter legions and duke it out to the death for ultimate fly power!

Hatch eggs to gather your swarm, stock up on power-ups, and *KILL*! Or, take cover behind paperclips or pennies...

*If you are encountering an issue of the main menu being cropped, try zooming into the game (ctrl + +). Try to enlarge the menu screen enough to hit the start button. Once you can click it, the rest should fit the screen properly!*

How To Play:

Find a friend to play this local co-op game with! Using the control schemes below, ATTACK to send your swarm out to the enemy, DEFEND to call your swarm back and protect you, and USE your collected power ups to knock the foe off their feet!

This game is awesome! I'm only playing against myself, but I was on the edge of my seat when I didn't know how each battle would unfold. I bet there's a lot of skill and strategy involved if the players were competitive.

Visual ecstasy, the art style really popped. We were a little confused about the controls and how to actually fight eachother

Really creative and ambitious. Like the art and I think its got potential to be a really fun versus game

Sorry to hear about the glitches, if you try zooming into the game (ctrl + +), you might enlarge the menu screen enough to hit the start button. Once you can click it, the rest should fit the screen properly!

Niceee, really great visual style and creative mechanics. I wish there was some rudimentary AI that I could play against for when I don't have a player 2 around.

A little unclear what I am supposed to do against my opponent and what I am actually doing, but I had fun with my friend.

The game is cool, good idea, good realization but the thing that you didn't make the main menu adaptable is annoying, at least i could zoom in to 300% and start the game :)

Absolutely love the style of it, and the gameplay is pretty fun (obviously better when you have 2 players too)!

The artwork is very beautiful. Sad there is no AI enemy, but I've tried to play against my left hand (if you know what I mean).

ОЧЕНЬ КРУТАЯ ГРАФИКА, МНЕ ПОНРАВИЛОСЬ
жаль то что немного сдвинулась картинка в меню, но это не критично)

Thanks to you guys, my girlfriend an I could finally conclude our ongoing discussion about who of us would be the better fly.

It took us a couple of rounds to understand, how the interactions work, but then I found it really enjoyable. The special effect when using a power-up was fun but also a bit disorienting. Apart from that, very cool entry, I appreciate the complexity of the pathfinding of the many tiny flies that we hatched. :)
