cool art style and idea :) I managed to stay there for 64 days :O

The gameplay was a bit simple, could've used a bit more feedback or sense of progression, but loved the art on this!

Hahah this was actually really cool moving around the screen like a fly :p At first I thought you just had to dodge the hands so I was zooming around for ages waiting for my timer to get down to 0 as I thought it was a survival. Maybe I am just dumb but that could have been clearer! 

I really like how everything looks all together, I would have liked some more clarity when I was being killed by the spray bottles, I didn't know when it was actually hitting me and when I just barely escaped from it.

Goog job all around!

Came for the cool art (nice textures) and stayed for enjoyable gameplay. Fun little game.

Really enjoyed playing this. Mechanic is fun, art and music are both 5/5!!

Excellent - had me holding my breath & twitching the mouse at the first sign of trouble. Wasn't sure if there was an incentive to switch directions, but my play style turned it into a bit of a side scroller.

Argh I hate fungus gnats, felt weird playing playing as my sworn enemy haha! Really enjoyed the art and appreciated the heads up display letting me know my eggs were successful etc... fun game!

Submitted

Love the art style! Took me a sec to realize you had to be within the pot to lay the eggs, might be good to show in the initial how to play screen

Lovely art style, gorgeous work! Fun game to play - if I could improve one thing, I would make it easier to anticipate and telegraph the hand swatting and bug spraying attacks. This is awesome though - great job!

Simple yet creative game. The art definitely stood out for me. It has a distinct story-book style and I quite like that. The gameplay itself might be simple, but there are many interesting elements to it like how you control another gnat after dying, and how the eggs die when they're sprayed.

I do want to say that the game progression could be better explained. I didn't know that I can move forward to find the next plants until dying a few times (which admittedly wasn't that long). Adding sound effects would also make the game feel more complete to me.

Great job on the game!

45 Days is my PB ;)



Really beautiful and pleasant game :)

You had very good ideas to force us to move all the time and not stay on the same pot.
Maybe there is only missing an indication to know when we succeeded to lay our eggs
