Describe How Your Entry Fits the Jam's Theme
by pressing shift you can enter spidermode

intentional bugs:
you can shoot through walls
gun overheats after overuse
players find it hard to see others in spidermode
etc....

Did you create all of your art/sound/music as a part of the game jam?
some networking was reused and i used photon as host

i think this is cool but i think you should try and fix the lag a bit because some guy was teleporting XD but anyways all else is good, but maybe add more guns in a future update

i think this game is really cool, maybe do some promotion for more players, i found a player but others might struggle, also add customisation and usernames i didnt know who i was playing with

I love the interesting twist on the theme, you used insects not errors very smart

Congrats on making a multiplayer game for the jam, it definitely has some potential :)

Maybe the paths that were supposed to work only in bug mode should be even smaller, as well as the bug, because I was able to pass through them in human form anyway by insisting a bit. And to pass through some walls on the left like a ghost too :D

Interesting entry either way, congrats once again!

Interesting idea! I wasn't able to find anyone unfortunately, but getting networking set up in 2 days is pretty impressive!

this game is very good, it has everything i would look for in a jam game, the only thing i would change is that the servers are a little laggy

FaFeDevSubmitted2 years ago(+2)

Gave it a short try. Found someone who was teleporting around the place dodging my bullets xDDDD. Impressive that you have managed to get online multiplayer set up in just two days. Well done =)

Submitted

They're (not) bugs!

KDEVDeveloper2 years ago(+1)

Thanks yeah the servers are very laggy even in europe(where they are hosted) i hope to be able to fix this soon

GoldenDonkeyProductionsSubmitted2 years ago(+1)

Do you mind me asking what networking library you used?

Submitted
