How does the game fit the theme?
The protagonist decides to fumigate his house with a propane tank. Even though he thinks that nothing can go wrong with this, that is obviously not true.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
all of the furniture was from https://lowpolyassets.itch.io/low-poly-household-item-pack
the gun was from https://chilly-durango.itch.io/low-poly-firearms
and the roach pathfinding code was from a random tutorial

Agree with some of the other comments, sound would go a long way and some sort of prompt saying the door is locked and/or a key is needed would be helpful. I assumed doors just couldn't be opened. The giant bug freaked me out lol Nice take on an FPS. Good job!
Very fun game! It really fits the theme. It'd be much better if it had sounds/music and if it told you you need a key to open the doors, cause it confused me until I found the first key.
I won the American Way, fumigated for good measure, and then ran a few joyful victory laps around the yard!
PS: The bullet holes look like roach droppings, which is exactly what you are left with in reality, too. Creepy.
Omg they can kill you?? This game made me uncomfortable
This was a pretty fun game! could use some audio but other than that this was really good
Loved the ending! If the bugs could do damage to the player / shots did damage to the house / had sound effects this game would be perfect! Fun and quirky, I enjoyed how the bugs started getting larger and chasing the character. I was waiting for mega bug outside as the final boss xD
Thanks! The bigger roaches actually do cause damage to the player, but you do kinda have a lot of health. I did also add bullet holes when shooting, but it doesn't seem to work on the HTML5 version for some reason lol
Neat little experience. As a man you has had an ever growing hate of cockroaches and has taken out my rage upon in many different ways, it was rather cathartic to just shoot them.
pretty fun those things scared the livin crap out of me :)
Not a bad base for a first person shooter, there is a cut scene that is also cool. Add in the sound of hits and the sound of gunfire, and that would be enough to make the game feel much better.
