Eat flies, hop around, race to the finish. How quickly can you make it to the end?

When eaten, flies take 0.5 seconds off your time. If you eat enough, maybe something special will happen...

The game is fun first of all! After all, games should be fun and interesting to play?) I got a lot of fun playing this game. Also a cool idea, to make sounds rougher with heavy music. Sometimes there were not enough flies to go further and I had to go back, but I think a little practice and everything will work out.
Big up!

Thanks! I currently have a version where the fly spawning is much improved. I'll upload it soon after the voting is over for GMTK. Glad that you had fun :)

Incredibly fun, movement was very tactile which I loved and really enjoyed the music/sound change when you got big.

Really fun game, love the switch up in music and SFX when you grow. Should perhaps be a TAD more lenient with how precise you have to be to get the flies, only thing I'd change. Great work!

Yeah, probably should have adjusted the hitbox on the tongue to be a bit oversized, but I'm glad you liked it!

Love the constant jumping when moving, very smooth and easy to control, I also liked how you need to break through walls to continue but it can be delayed due to flies flying far away or not spawning fast enough. Worth multiple tries for a good score though, got 94.18 on second try ^^

I'm really glad you liked the constant hopping! I had considered making the ability to jump straight up, but I felt like the harder controls made it just a bit more fun, oddly, since it took just a bit more to master. Thanks for playing!

the game is really smooth i like the diagonal movement mechanic good job !

Thanks! Glad you liked it!
