Took me a few tries just to figure out the controls, lol. The premise is delightfully full of chaos (mosquitoes killing a star?!? How do you come up with this!) Very creative idea, and I liked that I could re-read the mission objective-- if there was a little bit of gameplay help (how to use the controls) in that mission objective, it might be a more useful.
Thanks for the game!

Gideon's IslandNice classic game :)! I would love to see some power-ups or different types of mosquitoes for variety.

Messy Crane!Very cute game! I love the intro and the fact that the game takes itself very seriously, it's very funny. Keep it up!

NEUTRALCHAOTIC BAE_CHANNailed the chaos theme here. Love squashing mosquitos, especially this time of year. I agree with some of the players that I think a bit more game feel, visual FX, and juice would really help the game come to life. But hey, it's a game jam. Great work for just 72 hours working solo!

EntropyAwesome defender mechanic! Love how you have to hit them right on the fly swatter sweet spot. It was pretty dang hard though felt like I was doing terribly XD

Chaos OverwhelmingHey! I just tried Mosquito Wars and I gotta say — the idea is super unique and perfectly chaotic, really fits the theme. The whole “fight the mosquitoes” thing is so random in the best way (i also hate mosquitoes).
I know the game’s still rough — the visuals could use some work (would love to see a cool splat or effect when you take down a mosquito), and the gameplay feels a bit raw, but hey, with only 72 hours to make it and it being one of your first games, that’s totally expected. With each new game you make, you’ll just keep getting better and better.
One thing I noticed — when you go into “Check Directive,” the timer doesn’t stop (I think this minor bug can be fixed during the voting period)
Anyway, great start! The chaos vibe is spot on. Keep making games, I’m sure you’ll level up fast!

GraveTationHey thank you very much for the good words. I agree visuals and gameplay need improvement but as you said each time it will get better hopefully. Btw, I fixed the bug based on your advice and added the fix explanation to the devlog of the game as well so thanks for pointing it out. Keep up the good work!
