Hey everyone! I didn't see the comments on here but I wanted to follow-up.
First of all, thank you for taking the time to play it. I just didn't have time to add instructions and was bug hunting for the last few hours before I passed out. Clearly this isn't going to win any prizes, but I'm glad I was able to produce something that could be "completed".
The goal is supposed to be to get inside the hut with the hornets and plant nests inside. There's a counter of your "Swarm" that increases with the size of the nest and is needed to survive to the next stage. Of course, there's only one stage and you don't really see this... may have over-scoped a tad :D
Anyways, I've been working on this over the past week to make it be at least what I had envisioned and was just waiting for the Jam to end before I updated. Hopefully by the end of this week I'll have a new version with more stages, "plot", and new enemy/ally types.
I just couldn't leave it alone without giving it proper "game" treatment.
I liked the visuals, could use some development, keep it up!
Would like to see a more developed version of this, I like the idea and the title! Sorry to read you had lots of trouble, next jam you’ll know what functions not to use haha. There’s always Godot I guess, if you can’t stand GM.
Yeah I ran out of time too. I had no idea how to control this tbh, I figured out you can click on a hornet & then right click to tell it where to go. Are you supposed to get the cats? Instruction page says you can win - some details on might help?
Hi there, congrats for submitting a game! I really liked the idea and the layout. I couldn't quite figure out how to move my buzzing insects. If you tell me I'll try again!
I think this is a really good start and I hope you keep working on the game mechanics, add some tips and info on controlling it to your game landing page.
