Right, so, nice version of the "Out of controll" theme, I hate large swarms of bugs with a passion so making my skin crawl is a positive here. One thing: make the game over thing with the changing life shorter. Me trying to get a highscore is slightly smashed by having to wait 30 seconds every time I fail.

That's a good idea.  The ending was one of the last things I added, so I didn't think about making it skippable to return to the action faster.  Thanks for playing and the feedback! =)

Submitted

Super fun clicker! The SFX and the ending made me laugh so hard! Great job!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it!  Thanks for playing! =)

Submitted

Fun little game, but could definitely do with a bit more variety. Maybe different types of bugs that move in different ways?

Nice sound effects too though lol

Developer

Yeah, that's a pretty good idea that I would have loved to implement, but limited time will do that haha.

I literally added the sound effects 10 minutes before the submission time, so I'm glad they got in at all LMAO

Submitted

next time we should combine our two games into one :0

Developer

🤔🤔🤔

Fits the theme with its setting, but not really with gameplay. It's a fun game and the presentation was nice. Made me laugh at the end. 😄

Developer

Yeah, I would have liked to add more to the game to increase the chaos, but limited time and all that.  Thanks for playing! =)

Submitted

Hey,  It works and it made me laugh, so good job!
I was kind of disappointed when I couldn't continue with my new life. It would have been so cool to change to something entirely different.

Developer(+1)

I wanted to imply that every time you move, you just end up in the same situation, but I kinda left it unclear and just hoped people got the joke haha.  But yeah, adding new elements for different attempts would have been pretty cool.  Thanks for playing! =)

Submitted

Unfortunately this game reminded me of an apartment I had the displeasure of living in once upon a time. But nevertheless, a simple yet fun quick game, well done!

Developer(+1)

Oh no!  I hope your new life across the country is better!  Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Reminded me a lot of the good old days I used to play Wario Ware. My favorite videogame used to look a lot like this so it was really cool to see this game.

Developer

Thanks for playing!  I don't think I was actively going for a Wario Ware style, but maybe I was subconsciously inspired haha.

Submitted

what a joke lol , the part where you say "start a new life" and its all the same over again , very basic , good effort XD
Do think about adding some coins , power ups maybe jokes if possible :) good luck

Developer(+1)

Haha I'm glad someone picked up on that. 

I did actually plan on adding some tower defense elements like placeable items & upgrades, but I didn't have the time to implement them.

Thanks for playing! =)

If you did everything yourself, this is really impressive for someone new to Unity! Creating something that has a beginning, some playable bits, and an end is such a huge achievement alone. While I agree with someone else that said there isn't that much to the game overall, what you have here works, has sound, a narrative, animation, etc and that's fantastic. It brought me back to playing mario paint for the SNES, which had a similar mini game where you slapped flies I think, and it was great. Keep on keeping on!

Developer (1 edit)

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that this was my first foray into Unity.  I've worked with it a bit previously, so I have a general idea of how to do stuff.  I just meant that I'm still fairly inexperienced with it, so some simple things took me a bit more time than I would have liked to figure out and get working (namely by having to watch tutorials).

I'm glad you liked it, though! =)

Submitted

A love the end, just perfect! 

Developer

Thanks!  Glad you liked it! =)

Submitted

The end screen hit me in a really good way :)

Developer(+1)

Haha I'm glad it tickled your fancy. =)

Submitted

I like the score counter lighting up, other than that there really isn't much to this game. The "lore" is quite funny though.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Yeah, I would have liked to have implemented more depth, but oh well, game jam.  The score counter is probably my favorite part haha.  I really liked how it turned out.

Submitted

Simplistic yet fun. While it wasn't long until I moving to the other side of the country I enjoyed it while it lasted. Good job overall.

Developer

Thanks! =)

I hope your new home is less beseiged by bugs.

Submitted

Life changing experience, now I live in a different country with a different name so the feds don't question me about burning my wife's boyfriend's house. 

You should've used png of a real cockroach for the memes. Overall, it's a fun little game!

Developer

Thanks!  I hope you stay hidden.

Before I made the roach sprite, I was actually using the Knight from Hollow Knight as a placeholder haha.

Submitted

It's very simple, true. But it's also really funny :D

Developer

Aay, I'm glad you liked it. =)
