How does your game fit the theme "Unconventional Means"?
You're a graffiti artist that "paints" by swatting mosquitos against the wall

This was a fun idea and fun to try to get them to go where you wanted them -nice work! :D
Good game
Was basically just a waiting game. Should've made the mosquito more attracted to the swatter.
Thanks for the feedback! The mosquitos avoid the swatter, so the general idea was for the player to "push" them toward where the player wanted them to go and then quickly swat them, but from some of the comments it seems like this is pretty unclear since I didn't have in-game instructions/tutorials and because the effect is subtle so it's hard to notice just from playing for the first time, so sorry about that! Thanks for playing!

Overall, a pretty charming game with a really unique concept
Thanks for your feedback! The mosquitos do slightly avoid the swatter, but I think it's too subtle right now to really notice. I might update this after the jam to be a little bit better!
This is a lot of fun. Trying to swat the flies while they are trying to avoid you makes it really hard to hit them where you want to, which leads to some very funny pictures. And I like when you completely mess up a swat and you have to rethink your painting layout to compensate for your goof up. Great Job.
i like the concept behind this & it's a really original idea! I think the main issue is it's a LOT of "sit and wait" which isn't really fun. Then even when you try and "herd" them, it's pretty difficult to move them AND then swat them when they're in the spot you want them to. I think the main mechanic needs a bit of polish, but everything else is pretty well done! Like the art & sounds! Good work!
I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)
Thanks! Yeah, I think I could mess around with the speeds for the mosquitos a bit more to make it a little easier. I did want it to be a "sit and wait" kind of game, but it's probably a little bit too much of that right now still haha! Also appreciate that you like the art and sounds, haven't really done those things much before so it was fun to try out :)
nice concept and fun game.
a bit difficult to control the mosquitoes.
I love your take on the theme! Perfect for the summer :D
Pretty fun, gameplay could be a bit faster paced. Very creative interpretation of the theme.
Fun, unconventional, original. Well done
Very unconventional - theme fits perfectly!
very interesting use of the theme, lack a little on the tutorial departament but is good
