My first playthrough I noticed that clicking and splattering them would make it difficult to see the faces, so on my second attempt I just ignored them and focused on trying to differentiate all the generic anime faces. \n\nI think it would have been better if the roaches had a time limit where they exploded and left the permanent mark on the board, but you could prevent this by clicking them before that happens. This gives the player a secondary goal of trying to click on all the roaches while also trying to click and memorize the portraits. With the added time constraint this could make the game much more difficult and engaging. Currently it's just a simple matching game with some roaches crawling all over the screen.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1118339,"author_name":"yancharkin","author_uid":"yancharkin","epoch":1729583363,"text":"@skleembof Thanks for the feedback! Actually, I expected nothing from the cockroach mechanic; it was pure improvisation. :) But it sort of works, as every round the cockroaches' speed increases, making it much more likely to splat one (you probably didn't play long enough, which is understandable). Also, I added one more mechanic to the post-jam version. The game is already difficult enough, I\u2019m pretty sure it\u2019s impossible to reach round 10. BUT your idea is great, and since I'm planning to make at least one more post-jam release, it\u2019s likely I\u2019ll use it.
