Great concept. I really like the pixel art! It might be a bit challenging, but overall, congratulations!

Nice game, cute art!

Fun game! Definitely could use some work in making moving around more incentivized though.

Developer(+1)

True... maybe I should add collectables that spawn on random underwater tiles?

Submitted(+1)

Very fun game. Needs some incentive for moving to different spots tho 

Developer

Good idea
There is a tactic where you emerge and then instantly submerge again so the heron will attack that spot, and while it's attacking you emerge in another spot so you have more time to shoot

Cute, well made game but I think that the heron's hitbox is a bit broken. Don't know if it fits the theme very much tho.

Developer

It fits the theme because it's based off whack-a-mole, except you have to dodge the hammer (heron)
And it also fits because you need to catch flies, and to do so you need to put yourself in danger by emerging from the water, so it's eat or be eaten

Good idea and fun, but maybe the fly could have had a bigger hitbox?

Wow! I was immediately drawn to this by the title, I couldn't resist the silly frog noise reverberating through my head. And I have to say I'm so glad that I was, this is wonderful! The wack-a-mole reversal is very clear, but every other little thing really shines, with having to catch the flies it almost felt like a symmetrical wack-a-mole and a shootout. 

Developer

Wow thank you so much!

I was in a hurry to flee the heron !! I'm not good enough at the game to realize if it was getting faster over time or not, but I had a lot of fun playing it. Great scope as someone said !

Developer(+1)

Thank you! And yes over time the heron's reaction time gets quicker and you get hungry faster :)

Submitted(+1)

Very good submission, great scope for a game jame and addicting to get those flies!

Submitted(+1)

Super fun, collisions sometimes feel out of whack though

Submitted(+1)

It's a little hard to catch the flies but I really love the design of the game and the heron was terrifying XD

good job, is it solo?

Developer

it is :)

Submitted(+1)

Nice game. I found it a bit unintuitive at first but once i understood the controls i found it quite fun.

Submitted(+1)

Very fun and snappy, a bigger tongue would definitely help tho.
