How does the game fit the theme?

Play fine but I wish there is a roach counter. I manage to reach level 4 only
Very nice use of lighting, the concept is really great! > v<
The gameplay feels smooth, I played without getting bored.
I really like the concept! I felt like the 5 levels didn’t increase in difficulty much. I also noticed some comments mentioning that the game can feel a bit harsh or unfair at times. maybe I’m just missing something? either way great work!
Managed to scare off all the bugs, liked the amount of levels included and that they got more aggressive as it went along. Think it'd be cute if there was a mechanic where they start to drag the cookies away first so it didn't feel as immediate. Nice work though, loved the game:)
Cute game with a nice idea, a couple points to keep in mind:
Great work, has some good potential!
Nooo damn cockroaches!!! I was so close to finishing the last level! hahaha. Cute game, I liked it, great job
I like it but I fell like it's too unfair sometimes. Maybe make bug eat cookie for some time, so you have time to scare them. It happened to me that immediately at start of new level I lose.
Overall nice game with nice idea
Good luck in game jam :D
Very unique idea. I liked this game. Good job :)
Very cool idea, i like how the light follows with slight delay! I encountered weird screen *bug* (heh). As i seen others mentioned. Also the menu icons seems to be offset a bit from the buttons. Other then that - great job!
Cool idea, I love how the roles are reversed and the bugs risk it for the biscuit instead of you!
The idea is good! I see your screen like this btw, is it intended? or did you mean to scale the black area to the fill screen?
I meant to scale it to fill the screen.
Thank you for playing the game! :)
love the idea and theme of the game, but you could perhaps make the game like a little easier for the player experience?
I like the theme of the game but it is definitely too unforgiving
Nice idea, I would like to make the cockroach sometime fly into the screen for a wholesome experience :)
I like the idea! I found that just constantly waving the flashlight around the biscuits got me through the levels, so maybe add some more levels where biscuits are scattered around the screen would be good! And have some sort of indicator to see if a bug is close to a biscuit
I think it would be great if you could add some items like a spray or even a slipper to kill the cockroaches instead of just chasing them away. Anyway, I really enjoyed the idea.
Thank you!
Nice work & i agree with the other comments! Cool idea! <3
Overall a good idea but it needs some polishing!
Quick fixes:
Good Work!
I struggled to find the bugs before they had already gone too far. An interesting idea, but needs a bit more mechanical tuning.
