The visuals and sfx's are nice, maybe you can add some music as well. Some parts of the UI are a bit vague; orange is my health, cycle bar when a new enemy spawns (I think), white number is kills, yellow number is no clue, xp bar is when I get a new bug. The game isn't too complicated, but an explanation or improvement of the UI would be welcome.

Buggy BunkerThis is such a great game!!!
Good things: graphics (incredible job), sounds, effects, j u i c e, lack of tutorial (I loved figuring stuff out)
Bad things: slow progression, and that's pretty much it!
This is a well-polished, well-designed, satisfying and fun game! Amazing work for a 3-day jam, seriously. Love it.

Household CorruptionInteresting game! I don't understand it (and it didn't downloaded with the itch Desktop App) but I tried it! ;)

A buggy AdventureAt first, I really enjoyed this game because the sound and particle effects made killing enemies really satisfying. However, I do wish there was some more description with all the numbers on screen, and that the XP filled a little quicker since it got really repetitive after a while. Overall, though, the game is pretty polished for 72 hours and was really fun! Good job!

VIR USIt's a funny game with interesting "bugs" :3
I think if the power ups of the ball were permanent, there would be more sense of progress, but overall it's pretty good
I liked that sometimes when it hit an enemy, the ball was homing to another enemy immediately, making a small combo

Blush Blush! - for WOWIE! Game JamGreat game! Difficult but fun. The sound effects are really nice. A creative game design, needs a some kind of tutorial/instructions though, as I wasn't sure what to do at first.

Clip Through The WallsCool game! Well done!
But when I started it I had no idea what to do... I started killing the enemies by just running my mouse over them and I thought the ball was the enemy. Then I died. Killing the enemies the wrong way should not make the same sound as killing them the right way. Also a small tutorial in the beginning would've helped alot.
When you get the bug that makes the ball teleport around, there's no gameplay left in the game. You are not fast enough to smack the ball and change it's direction, you just have to stand still and hope that the ball teleports to an enemy...
But the game looks great and it's really well made!

BugBot BeatdownAn incredibly huge amount of work and effort is put into this game. I can compare the feelings from this game with a giant remote control from which you don’t know what to expect, but I want to check all the buttons that are on it. Great job!

Glitch gunNow we are cooking with gas! Really glad to see you solved the "uploading the game" issue xD.
And I'm glad because I loved it! Really polished, really lovely effects, I liked the gimmick of getting bugs, and I enjoyed the overall mechanics a lot. I end up losing on purpose in these endless games, but it's more because I want to try out more games than fault of the game itself.
I do think the game starts a bit slow, at least for my taste it could gain EXP a bit faster. But later on it gets more frantic. It's just the start that feels a tiny bit sloggish.
Kudos man!
Uhm... I don't wanna be mean but where is the game?
