I assumed it was real (I get lots of bug visitors to my computer screen for some reason). I had a nice smooth experience with this game - the controls work well and the idea is easy to understand. I started to feel at about wave 9 that I could no longer hope to keep the bugs away (though the health reset at wave 10 was very welcome) - maybe adding different challenges than \"more bugs\" would help (I really liked when the ants showed up, for instance) or adding some sort of risk-reward mechanic (e.g. if there was a good reason to go far from the home - with the mower idea, there could be some sort of trail of cut grass which slows the bugs down or has some other such positive effect to give a new dimension to the game). Though it could be expanded, it worked well as a short game - I enjoyed playing through it.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"AguaHervida","author_uid":"1105493","time":"2020-05-04T00:25:26Z","epoch":1588551926,"modified":1588551926,"text":"Good game, Those ants can be a pain in the *** if not careful enough, I would add some effects like yellow blood or leaving the dead bodies of the insects, and maybe some power-ups to spice up the game like a larger front or a speed-up, overall a great game, the sound effects are cool and I just love the way the ants move.
