Very cool, very creative. I loved the different ways the gameplay changed vs if I was making things small or getting smaller from getting hit.
Love the Idea! It's so much fun to shrink the enemies and then smash them! I also love the guitar riffs you used! It always makes me happy to see fellow metalheads create games. Keep it up!
boy this is so fun. one of the very few games that I played multiple times to do better. would have been funny if there player was timed after clearing the kitchen.
great job
Glad you liked it, thanks for playing!
Hey why do you make my kitchen into a game?
Like the game but I want the clash to start a littler earlier!
Thank you for the treat! Nice idea and sound!
Heyy, thanks for playing the game! Your kitchen was just an ideal fit for the concept; thanks for the inspiration! <3
Nice take on the theme! I liked the flow that comes from having to run from the bigger bugs but then chase down the smaller ones.
Thanks for taking the time to play the game! That's exactly what we were trying to develop and I love that you've noticed it
Good game, had fun.
Thanks for playing!
Great music and idea, why not instead of space bar to use a mouse button? The rest is great!
Hey, great question! I guess cuz mouse1 is already reserved for shooting, but maybe it could be automatic. Honestly, I haven't thought about it too much, and this is a good idea! Thanks for playing the game
Loved the funny idea :D The only criticism is that the controls are bulky.
Great effort with the pixel art btw
Congrats
Thanks for your kind words and for playing the game! Criticism is 100% on the spot
Cool little game ! Can you die ? Cause when i get hit at the smallest size possible i don't die from the ants ? Lot of possible upgrade for the game !
Actually, you can! When monsters are bigger than you, they can smash you (and vice versa). But we didn't figure out what to do when you're the same size, so nobody got killed. Thanks for playing the game!
Controls don't quite flow and collision is clunky, but otherwise a fun idea and execution. Would love to see more in the future - different enemies, weapons, play styles come to mind.
Yeah, you're 100% on point with the controls and collisions. Need to level up my skills to make it right next time :) Thanks for taking time and playing the game
Fun game!! Love design and idea. Great job guys!
Thanks for playing! <3
A bit slow, but a fun time; GG
The dynamics are definitely off, and the game could be much faster. Thanks for playing!
Shrinking bugs and turning them from predator to prey! Very fun game! The sounds of squashing these poor fellas is highly entertaining. Great work!
Exactly! Thanks for spending time and playing the game!
Great application of the theme! Pretty original!
The musics fits perfectly. Great job!
Thanks for playing, really appreciate it!
Great tutorialization, overall felt tuned pretty well, and the bug AI was fun to squish. Honestly, a great time.
Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for playing!
I think the mechanics are really interesting and it feels quite nice to squash those bugs. I did find the squashing movement a little bit linear, and the music is a quite loud. Apart from that, it’s a neat little game!
Thanks for your support! The controls are definitely underdeveloped, and we honestly felt the same way. It was my first game coding experience, so I spent more time fixing bugs than polishing the movement.
