The cockroach made me doubt my computer skills. But the gameplay is super innovative

Oh, the graphics are very good! I really like the style. The gameplay could use a bit of polish, but all in all, it's a really nice little game. I can't say I've ever played anything like it before! Good luck with the rankings, guys!

Well, at least I have an impressive death collection...

Really fun game to play, such a simple but inventive mechanics!

I was often running into issue when a charged ant would miss the boss by just a little bit and then go in spirals until gets a new charge or killed. I couldn't get through Mama Roach after all, it moved and rotated too fast and was reaching the bait faster then ants and then it would kill the ants that were going after that bait lol

That’s an unusual mechanic — and it’s a nice touch that all the fallen bugs were given names :)

I like this one! The art is great and the mechanics are simpel. The tutorial had me a bit confused, since I kept attacking the jar, thinking it was supposed to break or something. Maybe you could add some progress bar and a "Tutorial complete" sign or something.

@le-don oh, yes, tutorial should be the first thing to improve, along with other bugs, we are going to make it in post-jam version
Thank you for pointing on it, and for the feedback!

Phew, the roach boss is a challenge. After a few attempts, I managed to beat it like this:

The mechanics are a little confusing at first but very interesting. Good job team! :D

Superb art style! The game challenge is also not so easy to complete, my full respect to the team! Maybe you could make the bosses' mechanics a bit more different in future, it would be great.

Great game, very stylishly drawn, like a newspaper clipping. Mama Cockroach was really tough.
