Thank you so much for your kinds words and feedback.
I remember watching a show in the 90s called 'Amazing' and they used to play Mario Paint Gnat Attack towards the end of the show (check out this video: https://youtu.be/E7BFB3RHlWs?t=1090 ).
First thing that popped in my mind around bugs. Thought it would be a cool way to recreate the game in javascript.
Yeah, the balance between time and flies could be more challenging for sure. Thanks again for playing and taking the time to comment :)
