How does the game fit the theme?
You have to protect your herd from flies with a rocket launcher. What could go wrong?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We did not make the music, it's an assets bought on Humble Indie Bundle.

The game is really cool, and the sound design is amazing and fun! I found the slap mechanic very interesting, but it’s a bit hard to control. When we slap, the fly is pushed to the other side of the animal, so the player always ends up with the animal facing them and the fly on the opposite side. This makes it difficult to target the fly, especially since it moves fast. Maybe you could stun the flies after a slap for a variable amount of time to make it more satisfying and easy to kill. Anyway, it's really fun to play !!
Hey Balco, thanks for your feedback!
The swatter area is a cone between the player and the red line that should help you to aim.
When you sway the swatter, flies are pushed away in the direction you are aiming.
The force that pushes flies away can be upgraded at the shop between waves.
I left a review on your game I really enjoyed it too! Congrats :)
The game is really funny and interesting in his gameplay! A good game!
Thanks for the review Flandrage ! I played your game and left you a comment ;)
Cool game! Had fun firing a missile at pig to bur the flies :)
Thanks solidesu! I left a coment on your game, had a great time. Please make more days in future version if any :)
Thank you :) Yeah, I was still deciding but you convinced me thamt maybe I should push amount of content to 20-30 mins an see what will happen :)
I loved how you had to come close to tap the flies so that you can shoot them without hurting the animals! Also I saw that you have a game dev studio and find it very interesting as me and my team mate would like to start our own game dev studio too!
Had Fun Playing it. Music was lit
Hello FaiyazMdAbdul, thanks for trying our game ! I tried your and left you a comment :) !
Great job! The art is great. It feels so retro. Especially the pig. The sound are awesome!
Thanks for trying our game and for the review brother of fly swating :D
The rock/metal music made me feel epic! LOVED IT!
Hey SeaGoatGames!
I'm glad you enjoyed chasing flies with the fly swatter while listening to big metal!
The music you chose for your fit really well too!
I tested your game and left you a comment ;)
Nice game!! I love the sound of flies :D and choice for background music!
Hi MadDuck162 ! Many thanks for trying our game :).
I gaved a shot to yours too, left you a comment on its page ;)
very fun!
i think the hitbox of the spatter could be a little better shown, it didn't seem to work properly some times
I totally agree on the swatter hitbox. Its a cone from the player center to the red edge circling around you. The center of the fly have to be in the cone to be counted as hit. so it work pretty bed too close of the player as the cone is almost reduced to a point. I can't update the gameplay elements during the jam ratings but I will do after for sure. I'll go play your game, thanks!
So fun! Can't belive you made it with a 8 year old! That's amazing.
Sometimes when I tried hitting the flies it won't hit them even tho it looked like it should. Other than that great game!
Thanks Kfirfor your precious feedback!
At first, the swatter radius seems low bebause the center of the fly have to be in the range that is draw on the screen (imagine a cone from the player center to the edge that folats aroud you). Need to buy the upgrade. On my end I'll add to the basic radius after the jam as I can not modify balancing before rating phase ends :)
Really fun concept and game!
Hi RobinsonSdg !
Many thanks for trying our game, i really liked yours too, nothing can go wrong... or left... or right.. haha ! Good job man.
I left you a comment ;).
Thanks a lot! 🙂
Nice game!
Really simple and straightforward :)
It was a bit confusing what to do at first, but after a bit of messing around, I figured it out and it was pretty funny!
Hi tvw9 ! Thanks for trying our game ! I tried your too and enjoyed it, i left you a comment, nice job ;) !
The "Game Over" voice was soo cute (´｡• ω •｡`) ♡ Great job to everyone involved.
I am a bit confused if it's friendly-fire. I think I was the reason my animals were getting killed.
Thanks Pang. Yes, you can kill the animals with your rockets. You have to hit them with the swatter to push them away then shoot them with a rocket without hurting your animals! The swatter is not lethal for anybody. The thing is the flies also hurt the animals. They land on them and they do damage every 2 seconds.
Had a brilliant time, excellent game!
Thanks, I'll try yours!
Loved the concept and the idea behind this game !
One of the best games in this jam :))
Great job
Hello VV_Z! Thanks for trying our game ! I tested yours too, enjoyed it and left a comment ☺
Summary: Sound design was probably the best thing about this game. Well made very cute concept. I was especially sad when the body remained after the pig died.
What i'd like to see:
What should improve:
Thanks for playing my game during your live on Discord, it was really fun to see your reaction to the game :)
I was quite a struggle to know what to do about the animals. You were able to buy them at first but the game was not rewarding for buying animals as more animals is more difficulty and you were able to survive more with one animal to protect. I agree flies should do something when damaging, they only make sounds for now
There's something so wholesome about this father-son project :) I'm sure you're creating memories for life. Especially hearing the sounds is so cute haha :D The sprite is also drawn really well, I'm sure I couldn't do a better job honestly...
I liked it :)
Thanks! I really liked yours too, wrote a comment ;)
Very beautiful!
Thanks a lot!
Very nice game, I enjoyed it a lot. Probably my favorite so far.
Thanks for trying our game Placuch ! I enjoyed yours too ;)
