Due to scheduling conflicts, I was unable to participate until Sunday afternoon, so I threw this together in about 6 hours. I wanted to keep my successful entry streak alive.

Pretty well done game it it was only completed in 6 hours. The bugs tend to fly off the screen and then not come back for about a minute. But other than that good game. I ended up with a measly 196.
Hi there. Grats on entering! The graphics are a bit small and found the aiming frustrating. The fly mechanics work well. The fly sounds... sound a bit like you shouldn't listen too closely...
Not bad, perhaps the graphics could be bigger so aiming would be easier. Sometimes the bugs like to go outside screen and not show up in a while. The flying mechanic was pretty interesting.
Very well done :), and quite fun, too! If the controls were a bit easier (a keyboard option might've been nice), I probably would have played for quite a bit of time :) The "off screen kills you" really reinforces the theme, and it was a very good game mechanic.
It was interesting, good concept for a casual/mobile game. The bugs were hard to catch though.
Nice movement mechanics, but the game is really hard! Some bigger hitboxes, and the bugs not being able to fly off-screen would provide a much rewarding experience. Nice sounds!
way too hard to play on a laptop, haha, but a cool idea and well done.
Flying is fun!
I would like to see the dropping being a bit more extreme, you can hardly notice you are dropping.
Nice job!
Nice controls! Being a bat is hard, but I liked it! Maybe a first easier round to learn the controls would have been nice, before letting bugs go wild and move randomly. Great work
Controls are a bit slippery. Wish I could just stop at the top edge of the screen - annoying how flying too high kills me.
Nice job as you only did it in 6 hours! I like the simple controls, Audio is pretty standard. At one point i considered wether the bats flappy sound was saying fuck you haha! overall, nice job for the timeframe you made it in!
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!
Great sound effects ^.^ This is really well put-together, especially for the amount of time you put in. It's like a great version of balloon hunter. Maybe an easy version with bigger collision circles? Also the bugs would tease me by flying off the screen! Love it.
It was frustrating at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun. The mouse controls were a nice touch, even though it took a while to get a feel for how to use them.
Super impressive for only 6 hours of work :) Way to dig in and make something instead of just giving up.
Okay, I can honestly say I've never played a game with this control scheme! I got the hang of it pretty quickly but still died a lot because I had to go for multipliers!
I love the gameplay - but its unfair that the bugs can go off the screen and not you :(
It was very fun and hard (FOR ME), im a bad player xD i only scored 40 :( Great work :D

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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
Damn bugs are hard to catch! Nice sounds. :D
