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

Was basically just a waiting game. Should've made the mosquito more attracted to the swatter.

Agent PhotoshootThanks 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!
Mosquito Graffiti Ups and Downs
Ups:
- Very original concept that works well with the theme of the jam
Downs:
- The only way to get a good score in this jam is to wait for the mosquito to fly around. And as far as I can tell, there's no way to get the mosquito to move closer to the target, so I would be waiting around a while to hit that mosquito
Overall, a pretty charming game with a really unique concept

ConversedThis 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.

Red Guy Lost His Potatoesi 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.
