Nice game, congrats!

Clean, simple, and to the point! I really like the concept and you executed it well! Great job!

Original ! The music goes well with the atmosphere of the game. The behavior of the flies is often suicidal but it corresponds well to reality x)
Nice job :)

Developer

Thank you! I worked on music, so means a lot.

Really smooth gameplay, looks like a real game to me, cant believe this was made in a week.

Developer

Thank you very much! The game actually was made in... 3 days. We took too long to think, as usual.

Developer

What do you mean? This is a real game! 😁 But seriously: Thank you for the kind words! :)

Submitted

nice game, I like the double interpretation of the theme that the flies escape both the hits and the apartment. I also played the game twice to see if I can save more flies from their fate but some are always suicidal but guess that is also how they are in real nature.

Developer

Thank you for playing! By the way how much flies you was able to save max? My personal record is 4, I saw a person did 5.

Submitted(+1)

3 xD So nothing to mention haha

Very original game! I played it more than once trying to make my little boys escape, but they were not very smart and kept flying back to the flyswatter XD Quite simple and enjoyable, very good game

Developer

Yeah they are not very smart definitely. Thank you!

Submitted

Neat idea! The flies kept unfortunately finding their way back under the flyswatter, but I supposed it works out since it seems like you really only need one to get away to win.

I enjoyed the sound effects and thought this was a nicely polished entry.

Nice job!

Developer(+1)

Yeah one is enough. We thought about some scoring system that will take into account the number of saved flies, but were too little on time. All in all,  the possibility of saving more guys is something that makes me try again, at least for me.

Thank you very much for playing!

Very original idea and great execution!

Very nice concept. Good job! Nice work on the sound effects.

most times my flies died was because they flew back ;.;

All the good smol bois lost

I would like multiple difficulties (like easy, normal and hard)

Or directly a "level creator" where with sliders like "starting flies", "slap speed", "slap speed time multiplier" and "fly path randomness" could be edited


But that are really the only things i can cry about :p

The game is nice, will try out your other ones now  ^^

Developer

Thank you for playing! Yeah probably good idea with sliders.

Great game and cool concept. I like the sound effects so much. Also the move ment of flies is so satisfying. But I didn't understand where did you used the sun wildcard.

Very great game made in 2.5 days. Keep it up

Developer

Thank you!

The fact that flies are gathered at the window is because it's sunny outside I guess.

Submitted

Very nice idea. If you have time, you can also try my game and help me with some feedback for improvement as it is my first public game and my first game jam.

Developer(+1)

Yeah don't worry I was about to try it, just had no time yet

Submitted(+1)

Satisfying to get them out of the way. Cried when my bois died

Submitted(+1)

Really cool concept and was a lot of fun to play.

Submitted(+1)

Really cute game. Was kind of challenging with a track pad, but I was able to escape! Loved the sound effects. Great job! :)

Submitted(+1)

Super cool idea, clever play on the main theme! The there is great potential for a 'fly on the wall' story mode, I am curious to know what's attracting all the flies in that room...

Super fun! Great implementation of a relatively straightforward core game-loop. Full marks. Fun, casual game. Easy time waster. This'd be perfect on a phone or tablet, while riding transit to work. Or hey, maybe even during work.

Great graphics, animation, audio, everything.

Just need achievements and micro transactions and you've got a hit android game.
