Awesome addition to the "Vine-like" genre (that I just made up). I feel like this would make a great mobile game time-killer. Movement is simple, yet feels great, which is exactly what you want for this sort of score attack game. Great job! :)

Our submission Vinally is very similar to yours on paper,  but I bet you'd enjoy seeing the differences in our approach to a "Vine-like" game (You are a fellow pioneer in this trailblazing genre).

Cute game! I like the little effects when picking up points, would’ve been nice to see some progression as the numbers of point went up. However,very well executed on your idea good job!

Solid work on the concept! Plays really well. I would add an audio slider instead of a mute button. I liked the audio, but the flies do get loud. Good work!

Cute! Hits on the theme perfectly! And the movement controls felt fantastic. Something about it just made me want to move left and right all the time. It felt so satisfying. And considering that's the main mechanic of the game, you nailed it.

I did find it feeling a bit unfair at times. I'd be doing my best to get away from a fly and it would just move horizontally to hit me. So if I grew all the way to the left and the fly chased me from the right, I'd have no way out.

Cute game. The sound of the flies are a bit much, but at least I can mute that. The flies also seem to move fairly randomly, and they're faster than you, so how far you get is heavily affected by randomness.

It's a fun little endless runner, and the music makes it quite cute. For me, personally, I would have liked the movement to be a bit faster, or the button inputs needed a bit more complex, but that's just personal taste.
