cool game! i liked the opening menu puzzle but found the being chased by bugs bit pretty difficult and seemingly without end. might be cool if i had more to do than just run from the bugs? overall nice work! the controls feel super smooth, the graphics are nice, and the music is just right!

omg I'm stuck at the main screen; whaaaat is the puzzle!

Developer

I'm sorry to hear that. 

The puzzle is clicking the ladybug and dragging the A from its head to the PLAY button! ;)

Submitted

doh!  I had used the ladybug to push the A and it went out of view; then I squished the ladybug.

Very satisfying crunch sound, hope to see more feel elements in the future - shake/particles etc. Interesting creative mechanic, just there isn't much challenge for the most part especially when bees aren't spawning. Is there a way to kill the bees?

I like it. Mouse control feels nice, even more so the faster you go. The menu puzzle is clever too. Nice game overall.

Developer

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks! The puzzle was the first idea it occurred to me.

I don't really get why the controls switch between WASD to mouse as it seems to happen pretty early on and doesn't seem to switch back. The mouse control felt nice and I liked the game overall

Developer

The two bug kinds alter your input behavior when they enter your screen, if you get rid of them the regular input will get back!
If a "clicket" is on your sight it won't let you click.
If a "wasd" enters your screen space it will bug your wasd input and make it cursor-based movement.

It probably lacks feedback for the user to understand what's happening. Thank you for your comment, I'll work on this if I happen to continue developing this project.

So hard that the wasps are the same speed as the player

Good job! It was a bit complicated at the beginning but anyway a nice experience with a lot of potential.

Developer

Thanks for your comment! It's highly appreciated.
I made it a little bit hard so people won't beat it on the first try.

I agree, I wanted to implement more bugs with a variety of behaviors but that scope was too big for my skills and the time given.

Submitted(+1)

Really cool, loved the idea! Took me a bit to get it started but that was a great little puzzle!
