It was a very cool concept , i really liked the game .
Thanks! I'm so glad you had fun! :)
Cool idea!
But the wall of text you have to get through to be able to understand what's going on is kind of frustrating. Also I managed to accidentally glitch my bugs inside of the shield barrier without destroying it.
Maybe you should add a health bar to the shield and the computers, it's hard to know if you're even doing damage because everything makes the same sound. Maybe also add some effect when a bug dies so it doesn't just disappear, and show on screen how many bugs you have used.
But it's a cool concept!
Thank you for the review! You have made some really good points that we will take into action if we decide to update the game. Much appreciated :)
Instructions are lacking at the start of the game. Weird but fun controls for the virus hahah. and i like the glitchy aesthetic of the game!! Keep it up!!
Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it! I just updated the game with a tutorial so hopefully controls will make more sense now!
Could you pls try my game too?? It's called book of bugs! <3 tia
I really like the approach to the subject of jam. Simple but very well executed. I would like more levels.
Thanks! We actually didn't have levels and went for a randomized approach instead. We wanted to do something outside of our comfort zones (read: not a platformer)
There should be a tutorial somewhere in the game if you need to do uncommon actions. Had problesm to find out how to play. I guessyou had too little time to add everything. Keep on improving yourself!
Yes, we definitely did. :/ I hope you still enjoyed the game once you figured it out!
Soooo I'm the bug now hä ;-)
Yep! We were hoping our idea was a little unique. Glad you liked the game!
It's an interesting idea to play as a virus, I liked that!
But it was really hard to figure out that I'm damaging the blue antivirus wall. It would be great if there was a better visualization.
Also If you spawned 5 Viruses and don't have the one you need, you can do nothing but lose if I'm not mistaken. Thats not ideal.
Yeah, I understand how that could be an issue. The hope was that people spawn one or two at a time as needed, but I don't think my tutorial was clear enough. :/ As for the blue wall, that was in the plans but we weren't able to give it any visualization due to the time constraints. Thanks so much for playing!
I see, I came into the situation bc the antivirus things destroyed one. So I still had 3 alive but not the one I needed and couldn't respawn or sacrifice on of the others.
Yea that's understandable, with gamejams you almost always have to leave something out you had planned.
Couldnn't figure out how to play it unfortunately, I know I'm probably just stupid but a help page would be, well, helpful! haha, sounds and looks cool tho :D
I'm so sorry! If you're willing to give it another chance we have the tutorial in the description. Sadly we just didn't have enough time to put a good one in the game. :/
Pretty good, I liked the music and sound effects
Much appreciated,, I'm glad you liked the SFX and music!
This game was really cool! I really liked the glitch effects when you destroy computers
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the glitch effect! :)
Hi, the only thing i wanted was to have more levels, because the game was really fun and simple. well done!
Thank you for the review! The original aim was to have levels but we later thought of scrapping it due to time and playability ect. Hopfully the randomisers will make up for it :)
