Very fun game! I read your About on the game page and that is incredible that you started your game dev journey mere weeks ago and then only worked 4 days of the jam time on this. Considering those variables you have completed a very well-polished game certainly miles better than my first complete project. Keep up your game dev journey because it seems you have a talent for this!
Thank you so much! You really made my day 😄. I really enjoyed it and look forward to continuing to make games!
Really well done! Especially if you learnt game dev one week ago!
Smooth controls and good dynamic.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it!!
Nice, i dont think i've ever played a game where I get to play as a cockroach, love it (my wife would hate this game).
I ran around actively contributing to fratricide (cant leave the bugsprays to do all the work!). I died to some radioactive bug biting me, so I guess im not the ultimate roach. But i got close enough (top 20).
Interesting theme, and a solid entry considering you only have half the time to make the submission!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it!! Getting 20th place is honorable and not an easy feat, especially since you actually went for the kills. It took me quite a long time to get below 20. If I had more time, I would have added more skins for the roach so you'd actually get something for being so close to winning! 😄
Great concept! Great Execution! I am cockroach! 10/10
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it!! 😁
The music is good. Tank controls threw me off but it does make it more interesting since its difficult to control.
Thank you for playing! I hope you enjoyed it. This is how I imagine moving as a roach would feel like. I don't know why, but from the second I thought about the idea for the game, I always knew I wanted it to feel like that. Maybe I should have added a little tutorial or a safe place to get used to the controls. Sadly, I didn't think about it until now.
To be honest I dont think a tutorial is needed. Its more memorable when youre thrown in to the tank controls right away and straight in the action. its also more entertaining!
I have to agree with you. I think it's quite fun to explore a new control scheme in a new game (in most games, I probably skip those). But, from watching my friends play it (sadly after I submitted it), I saw that many of them didn't realize they could dash with the space bar. So, I think I should replace the "How to Play" section (I got some feedback that it's too cluttered and hard to read with the background) with a small room that allows you to explore the game mechanics and displays the controls. It will be optional for those who want or need it.
Nicely done. I found the "tank" controls unexpected at first, but got used to it. Would have been nice to have a few sound effects in there, but the track was nice and soothing. Loved the foot stomp.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I only added sound effects for a few things because I didn't want to overwhelm the player with too much noise, given there are 99 roaches. I also had a hard time balancing the sound effects with the background music because the game gets really chaotic. Maybe I should have made the sound effects a little bit louder to make them more noticeable with the background music.
Great job on this - the controls were super smooth! I am definitely not a great roach that's for sure haha - but I love the idea here, it was very fun :) Just a suggestion would be to maybe reduce the movement going on in the background during the main menu, it made reading a bit tricker with all the tiny cockroaches trying to get my attention, but overall really well done!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm thankful for the feedback. I myself have a hard time as a roach 😂. I tried to reduce the distraction from the roaches in the background by putting a dark overlay on top of them, but apparently, it didn't do enough. I added them so the background wouldn't feel static, but I may have to exterminate some and maybe make the remaining ones bigger to make them less distracting.
Battle Royale, roach style. Nice!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
Great game idea and execution!
It was a nice balance of enjoyable and somtimes intense. Audio fits quite well and its kind of a bob!
Keep up the good work..
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it!
Wow this is an interesting idea, and I loved the challenge! Quite a simple idea but very well thought out and executed. The music also gives off a somewhat intense but still chill vibe. The 'How to Play' page was a little cluttered and hard to read, and it took some time to get used to the controls (using W & S to move and A & D to turn). Overall, a very fun game and I'd even want to show it to some friends where we can compete with each other :)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed my game. You really made my day! 😄
Good job this was fun, I liked the mechanic, the different hazards that appear, and the atmosphere works really well. That's a lot of roaches!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you're enjoying my game! Poor castle owner, his castle is so infested that I can understand why he uses so much bug spray 😄
I found that going for kills usually got me killed as well, my reflexes aren't good enough when the three babies spawn or another enemy joins the fray. In general health depletes so quickly that fighting is very dangerous. Scurrying around looking for shields first seemed like a good strategy. Unlucky #13 was the best I could manage!
Thank you so much! 13th place is amazing, and with a high score as well! It took me a lot of tries to beat it. The game gets really chaotic really fast. My strategy is to only attack when necessary since it's really risky. Usually, I wait until I find a force field, then try to kill as many zombies and cockroach as possible. Also, I stick close to a wall, but not too close, to avoid getting trapped by the cockroachs.
Cool idea!
Thank you!!
Really fun game, a lot to process but cockroach's life is sure hard.
😂😂😂 Glad you enjoyed it! Who knew cockroaches had to deal with so much chaos?
The fact you needs to eat the other cockroaches is quite brutal
Well, now that you put it that way, it is kind of brutal. But that's the only way to determine who is the superior roach. Also, this castle is infested with them, so they’re just helping the poor castle owner 😂😂
took a while to figure it out but it is quick to adapt to. really fun controls and it is really satisfying to dash.
Thank you so much! The cockroach controls were one of the most important aspects for me during development. I wanted to strike a balance between feeling in complete control and mimicking the movements of a real cockroach. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Very fun , Nice job !
Thank you! i'm glad you liked it!!
That was very fun and hectic! haha
I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed it! Yeah, the game gets really chaotic 😂
It's a cute game, I did not manage to win, but the map feels pretty big and it's quite challenging to stay alive!
Nice job!
Thank you so much! The life of a roach is quite a challenge if my game is to be believed 😄
