After the intro the game twisting to squishing bugs was also quite fun.
The gameplay itself is fairly basic but fun.
Well done. 7/5 mood/humor/audio
Gameplay-wise, it would have been more interesting if there had been more of a challenge. I realized I could just walk away to get the upright bass to respawn, and then kill waves of cockroaches pretty quickly.
Keeping a history of every dead bug at the end was a nice little touch. Good job!
I saw what you did there :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Well done for voicing this out !
The graphic is interesting and inconsistent at the same time. It didn't prevent me to have fun looking for the bugs and reading the fun kill-lines though :p
Very nice entry !
Thank you for playing ! :heart:
Nice story telling and voice acting !
You fit perfectly in the theme
Ah, the text, the music, and the cutscenes are all truly impressive. Just impressive. It's my favorite.
I watched the trailer and remember not being able to hold back my laughter at more than one moment.
I truly believe it's quite challenging for anyone to score higher than this in humor.
