I don't see minimalism (maybe in the gameplay?), but it was fun!

Pretty good entry! I got to level 23. Very addictive after awhile. Nice game!

Really fun, but a bit easy. I got to level 34 without much difficulty, and just stopped due to slight repetitiveness.

Lvl 42. I made this poor sleeping guy eat a looot of flies.
That was funny but too repetitive. The sounds of the guy eating flies made me laugh :)
Good work!

It's a nice fly swatting game, I liked that you can change direction of flies flying away.

Very polished. Good luck in the app store. :)

I think you might want to make it a bit harder though. I quit at level 50 because it was boring. Instead, you should have newbies lose quickly at first and then get better over time. Maybe have different kinds of flies? And maybe it's a little too easy to get the watermelon back?

Great graphics and sound. The gameplay got a bit tiring after a little while. I got 1,200,000 points :) But then gave up :( Some bonuses or other fly types would zazz it up a bit I think.

Reminds me of the kind of thing I'd see in a Warioware game! Great art style and story - it adds a lot to the basic gameplay.

so many flies -- so little time -- great game -- i loved getting the flies in the guys mouth and having him spit up a piece of watermelon -- brilliant

Minimalism? Nice graphics and nicely polished but I didn't find the game fun to play.

So right now I've got the game paused at 16.5 Million points and level 129, and frankly my stubbornness can't hold out much longer. If you are making an "endless" game like this you have to make sure that either the game gets harder quicker, or the game stays funner longer.

The difficulty curve being too easy is a big problem. Maybe you guys didn't mean for you to just be able to hold down the mouse, idk. But clearly the game is polished just needs fine-tuning.

Great simple game. I think it could be improved with different types of flys, that took multi sypes to kill.

The gameplay starts to grate a little before you get to the challenging gameplay. You can easily hold down click to swat flies and just flail the mouse around. It's a fun game though, and I like the art :)
