YOU ARE WASPS by Hazel

[raw]
made by Hazel for LD25 (COMPO)
Wasps are nature's henchmen. Villain of the sky. Literally the worst organism which has ever existed or ever will exist.

Today, YOU ARE WASPS.

Aims:
World domination, human extinction, annoyance of goats, ruination of picnics.

Controls:
WASD to move
SPACE to attack and fly through crowds

Features:
- Audio which was not even the most annoying audio I could have gone for given that it involves constant buzzing
- Wasps
- Hate
- Some sort of art and code or something
- BONUS GOATS, HOORAY :3

WARNING! Do NOT play this game if you LIKE WASPS. It's not that you won't enjoy the game, it's just that you don't deserve to have fun.

What a pity I couldn't control my swarm with WASP. Ha. Ha. Fun game and weird parties out there... MMF, MFM, FFM, FMFMFMFMF... :D

Funny. My wasps drifted away from me over time and would only attack air so I couldn't continue. Had to turn the sound off… Fun idea with frantic action.

Funny, I liked all the bonuses - I'd have liked it more if there were some sort of challenge to it though

Really excellent. I love how the wasp swarm moves and pulses in when you sting. Both funny and well polished. Even the music sounds like wasps.
My only problem with it was that the framerate seemed to drop off after a while of playing. Still comfortable to play, but not ideal.

But yeah, really nicely made game.

Rather fun game, but is pretty strict with the time limit. The level is hard to move around without ending up wasting time slowing down and turning etc. Overall though, great idea!

While the game was a little hard to figure out at first, it started to speed up once the time bonuses started accumulating. It got somewhat repetitive towards the end, but it was still challenging to find all of the picnics (I lost with only 2 left). It's an interesting game, the buzzing was surprisingly tolerable, and it was pretty fun overall.

Haha, that was awesome. The art is really smooth, and the concept itself is just hilarious!

This one is lots of fun. I love the movement of the wasps, its feels very organic. I'd love a bit more variation in the quips when you sting people - they're really funny :)

Great game. Fun and original idea.
It's a shame the wasps get stuck easily, but still fun to do.
I had to stop before I could attack all the picknick groups, because the sound was annoying my boyfriend too much :P
The sound does however fit the game nicely

I AM WASPS

I liked how the personal vendetta came out in the introduction and the character graphics are quite charming! :) I stung all those suckers!!

Epic.. Almost got everything but I stung the last picnic before the goat standing right by it.. Bit of slowdown near the end.

Truly, 'tis the most villainous if all :D

Love the idea. Movement is a bit iffy. Music is weirdly fitting, but gets a bit irritating after the while. The "You ruined the picnic!"-messages are the best part. Nice work! :)
