The music changing with the speed of the level was also a cool detail. \n\nThe visuals are very simple, but you can see everything very clear, which is important in this kind of game. I like this style. The little waterfall animation is nice. Seeing the little red blood stains on the black and white screen is a neat component of the graphics.\n\nHaving a bit more variety in the sound effects (hitting an animal and having a little death sound) would be a nice addition. The \"spawn sounds\" like the fish-water-sound is well made, but compared to the music it is pretty hard to hear.\n\nIt's nice that you get to see your highscore at the end and also get a \"title\" along with it. :)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1117307,"author_name":"Weird Orb","author_uid":"weird-orb","epoch":1729435127,"text":"I was thinking \"man, this is fun but I wish there were a few more bugs to swat\" and then it sped up :D simple but incredibly effective!
