Takes me back to my childhood with Mario Paint. This is a wonderful modern recreation. Very entertaining to pass the time. I could see playing something like this on my phone while on the go, something we didn't quite have in the 90s, huh? As far as room for improvement, there's not much, I like the simplicity. But I would personally reduce the number of flies and time per level. I think the challenge is well balanced (I got to level 6), but I did feel like the levels dragged on a little bit. Still, this is a fun entry, nicely done!

FirefliesThank 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 :)
Your game looks amazing and I really liked the music and SFX. A good basis for a very attractive game, although I think you’d need a bit more variety going forward. Good submission!

Scuttlebug DerbyI really like your interpretation of the theme! I would have liked to know how many levels there are in total (I played up to Lvl 5), the art is simple but stands out and it gives me an old-school type of vibe!

Longwood GreensYou've made yourself a nice basis for quality "time killer" phone game. The concept is easy to grasp but things are kept interesting with the randomness of the bugs' flight paths. Nice job! And, bonus points for actually publishing it to the Google Play store.
