I like this game a lot! Judging just on the initial screenshots, I had wrongfully assumed that this and 'Lord of the Flies' (another entry in the jam, not the classic book lol) were the same concept. Both games proved me wrong in their own rights.
I very much enjoy the idea of gaining points at a detriment to the longevity of the run. That's a very unique way to play, and displays the theme very well. The arcade style of the sound effects added a lot in my opinion. The only thing I can complain about is that some of the pixel art could be cleaner, so the flies don't get visually lost amongst it, but hey-- I'm no artist myself, so I can't judge haha. Great work!
