Exciting concept if a bit confusing at first, holding down the left click to group the humans doesn't seem to have a cost or punishment for overuse, attacks from flies are very quick with little telegraphing, overall a nice fast pace game
Really nice graphics and sound design. It's fun and difficult as it should be! Great game!
Fantastic sounds, super fantastic music. Wonderful art and visuals too. Nice submission yall!
The art is great, but the music is sooooo good! Love how you implemented the concept of a fly buzz into it!
I also like that depending on the color of the item it makes the human swarm go slow! It makes you more aware of what you pick up while also discouraging just moving the mouse around fast. Great design right there!
Maybe clarifying that the color of the items indicates that on the instructions, or making the colors stand out more would have helped me understand the mechanic better at first.
Overall great work, and lovely spin on the theme!
Thank you so much I made the music ! I found that kazoo was the best instrument to sound like a fly. The team feedbacks were really helpfull as well, had a blast working on this project.
I don't know anything about 3D art but the fact that you managed to create all this in 48 hours and have the game ready is pretty cool. I really liked the housefly model. The game too was overall so colorful. good job! (it did get a little laggy but its okay since you cant really go for optimization in such a short jam)
Thank you so much for playing, the art team is very proud of what we managed to accomplish. We tried to keep a low poly count, but we did not get much time for optimization. Especially the swarm player characters probably needed some more work.
Thanks for playing :)
Our artists were really time efficient and talented haha
Colorful jungle-style music and buzzing sound effects! Glad I checked it out!

first dengue, now this?
Love the presentation. The art is cute and the music is fantastic.
Fun and creative game!
The swatters come in a little too fast to react to so I just ended up moving around as fast as I could randomly, which took away from the enjoyment a bit. I also had the game crash when losing.
Had fun Playin' but sometimes the screen freeses when won or when loaded
Great presentation! I feel really bad for the little dudes
I really like the reverse fly swatter idea, really fun, and the music+art is really good! Great job!
I think the menu is broken because I couldn't press options or credits
thank you, we had a blast making it so glad you're enjoying it too! And yeah, unfortunately we ran out of time before we could implement the menu fully.
A really fun game, but the menu is really working
Thank you! And yeah, unfortunately we didn't have time to fully implement the menu.
Love the music! The presentation in general was some of the best I've seen in this jam. It does seem to crash at the end of every game, and I would love to see an indicator of where the flies will be swatting.
our music guy knocked it out of the park for sure. The game does have a black shadow that firms right where a fly is about to swat, but it happens quite fast so it is easy to miss. The game freezing at the end is a known issue, we didn't have enough time to look into it.
