very polished game. Nice concept and art.

Very well done. Wonderful visuals and audio. The sound made killing the moths feel very weighty. Initially, I didn't read the description, so I didn't realize that I needed to lure them to the outskirts to kill them. In doing so, I gathered a lot of moths, and got a huge score bonus.

Woah, I didn't recognize you at first but then I realised who you were, im actually a fan lol. Hoping to see a vid on this game soon, as for the feedback:
I enjoyed the game alot, the gameplay loop is simple and the graphics are pretty. Though I gotta say, the game felt too easy to be honest, it was really easy to just pick off the moths on the edge one by one, by rushing over. I feel like if you plan on building the game up a bit more in the future, it could benefit from some other kinds of moths. Also, I feel like the theme could probably have been incorporated into the game a lil bit better than the story, especially since this seems more like 1% of the power being left than 10%. Probably making multiple buildings lit at the same time, and having them become dark once a moth collides with them will add to the difficulty of trying to protect multiple towers at the same time.

I guess, I know how will win!

Developer

Thanks, but it's defininitely not me cuz I spent much more than 3 hours on it's development.

I think, there are no strict rules about that. Almost everyone spent more then 3 hours and to my mind, the most important is ratings you get. I guess, we are forced to write time just for people that rate us.

I love the VFX! Simple but super satisfying. I got to 55 before the moths overwhelmed me

Great concept, and great polish! I got 31.

My Critiques:

I wish combo-ing a bunch of moths had some benefit or acknowledgement. It's really fun to zap like a whole bunch of them in one go, but most of the time I feel like just meeting them one by one at the edge of the screen is easier.

I think the flashing screen effect should be toned down a bit.

Otherwise a fun game, good job!

Fun, polished concept! The visuals and sound were very good. I do wish in the gameplay department there was a little more strategy to it (maybe chain electricity? Get a whole line of moths going and chain them?)


Overall, great job!

Developer

Cool idea! Definitely should add combos or something like that.
