Bug Squash by Potato Toaster

made by Potato Toaster for LD 40 (COMPO)

Simple game made with some html, js, and svg. Also the animations are super buggy. I recommend that it be played on firefox since that's how I tested it, and I don't think I added all the right prefixes for animations to work on other browsers. There's a bug where if you take too long on the explanation part the game will start without counting up your lines of code, probably best to just skip through it after you've read it once.

It's a great idea. It certainly made me laugh when I read it. The only problem is that it's quite hard to play because you can't see the whole screen at once. Otherwise, nice job. :)

This game is extremely relatable.

Cool game, the only suggestion I have for it is you seem to be unable to hit the bugs if they get directly about you or directly underneath you. Maybe make the bugs slightly slower than the player. Other than that it was a good game.

Cool! That's awesome that it's written with just javascript and some svg.
Does changing the speed just speed up/slow down the game or does it change the ratio of lines of code to bugs generated? It looked like it was linear so to get the most lines written I should just play on slow speed but I couldn't tell for sure.
My only complaint is when sometimes a bug spawned almost right next to you there was no time to react. Maybe a little bit of a gap so I have time to aim and squash?

Awesome idea, fits the theme perfectly. I got to 196 lines, its quite difficult.
