Nice one, loved the screen effect and the duck sprite is funny :D. Didn't expected the music after playing a while.

Chrome Dino man. And here isn't BUG, so good game but nothing else.

I had fun laying! i saw there was a secret when you hit 9999 but I can't make it :p I keep getting closer so maybe I will eventually get there :) Nice graphics even though its simplistic, it's effective!

Fun little game. Nothing original, just a chrome dino reskin. But still pretty fun. Looks cute!

Edit: I reached 9999 points and saw the ending! Nice job, I also see the theme now. Maybe you should reach it earlier, so more people will see it.

Nice game, I really enjoyed how the game “uncovered” features as you keep playing! Very fun!

Is a very simple and nice game that takes inspiration from chrome:dino game however has nothing to do with the "BUG" theme, you could put obstacles designed like bug or make the protagonist a bug.

I was not expecting the curved screen, very interesting but it gave me headache (this is a my problem i think)

Edit:

I saw the "BUG" theme was respected with score over 9999,  you should put a message that makes it clear that this is the goal to be achieved to understand the theme, something like "what's after 9999?", otherwise if someone stop before the right score he makes the mistake of thinking that it don't have nothing to do with the theme

Thanks for the comment!

Yeah, maybe I needed to make it more clear.

However, the game advices about this if you die an amount of times:

love the CRT screen effect.

If you changed the duck into a bug just for this jam it would've helped :-)

But good job

Great graphics, liked the curved screen look as it made it look like an old tube TV. Music is absolutely amazing, the best I've heard so far!

Submitted(+1)

Cool graphics! This is definitely inspired by that Chrome game ;)

Nice and simple, fun game with a really cool aesthetic. Good job!

Great look. Simple aesthetic. Love the end but I think it comes too late. Gradual deterioration would be great

'dont play it too much' you say. Knowing full well these are the games I can loose days in trying to beat my high-score! Lovely style and the slight 'curve screen' effect that the old CTV's used to give! love the SFX, all blends super well together!

Submitted(+1)

Wow, great old style gaming look. Well-made I liked it. Maybe for the theme the duck could have been a grasshopper? But still very good, you nailed the style.

Solid simple game. Really like the CRT effect and the sound. You should talk with Google to get them to use this as the Chrome offline game instead of the dinosaur one  😄

Simple and straightforward. Quality work on putting the polish on this game. The duck animations alone made me play a few extra times... even if I never could get past a score of 3500. I suppose I'll never know the secret of what bug awaits me at 9999.  Nice work!

Very cute assets, well animated and polished game! If you were to revisit this game, one improvement I would suggest is to look for ways to introduce new elements on this genre. Its obvious you’re very skilled at putting together very plosihed games so that could be a thing to look into in the future.

I couldnt make it past 9999 points though :c thats a score only the most MLG folks can attend, i’ll keep trying!

Great job, keep it up!c:

Pretty rad game! Reminds me of that chrome dinosaur game. I love the minimalist graphic, and the duck is too cute :D I couldn't find the interpretation of the bug theme however. Other than that, really adorable game!

Thanks for the comment!

The bug theme is in what happens if you beat the game by getting a higher score than 9999.
