I cant find the main class to start it up in the python version
Nice little game, makes me feel sorry for those poor little fly's :p
Nice concept, would be good though if the area was infinite so you didn't have to keep flying into the same spot to get flies. Well done though, needed minimal instruction to play
@Ravetcofx - just run the file fly.py. You will need to have PyGame installed to run it though.
I liked the presentation and the use of flies. :)
The gameplay got a bit boring / frustrating after a while.
As a great plus and already said: needed minimal instruction to play.
Loved the game. One suggestion thou: enemies and flyes look really similar. I loved the graphical style but it was confusing for a while.
Very cool little game. Lovely smooth controls and a simple but addictive mechanic (it's a nice trick to have the flies closely resemble the enemies) made for a very enjoyable game. I played this for quite a while - it definitely has the 'one more go' factor.
Wow, I really liked it! I've always wondered what it'd be like to have a mayfly's life expectancy! It's very much an addictive arcade game. I kind of wish the enemies were a more contrasting color from the flies, though. :)
I like how minimal this is while still being fun to play multiple times. The best I could do with a handful of plays was 15 generations in 31.714 seconds.. until I edited the source to make the enemy flies super slow. Nice job with this.
7 generations :D it was a bit frustrating to start off with, but after I figured out what I was doing, it was a pretty fun game :D It would be nice if you could add some more fly-like movements as at the moment you just gather up an organised troop of nasty flies following you in an orderly fashion :P
nice game, i liked how simple the art style was, it looked good, well done.
The black = good things, grey = bad things could have been telegraphed a bit better, such as having enemies be red. Border indicators would have also been nice; you need very good reaction time to avoid running into them. The flies sometimes did their best to dodge me and it gets hectic trying to find a mate with a ton of enemies chasing you, but that's what makes it fun. Very challenging, though
Wow, this is hard. Especially when an enemy is coming from the direction you're moving in, it gives you very little time to react. Perhaps this is also because I'm right-handed but it doesn't let me use the arrow keys.
The sound effects are a bit harsh. Otherwise, good job!
Nice game overall. It hard because when you panic enemies and flies look the same. I enjoyed playing it.
Can't play windows games, and couldn't figure out how to get pygame to run
:-(

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I enjoy the clean graphics, audio is not boring. The generation is idea is coolish as well. Great one! (note: a bit fed up with WSAD, arrows please)
