Bugger

Ahhh... Finally another game! Theme of this beauty is Failure and your mission here is to avoid the bugs. As a programmer the fight with those nasty bugs are a daily occurrence and now I've brought you a chance to kill those nasties too!

The gameplay wasn't what I was planning on - yet again - but I'm actually quite content with the game. It's able to grab your attention for at least a few minutes before loosing you and it's absolutely the prettiest one I've ever made! Enjoy! ^^

De var på tiden!

Nice spel, synd dock att jag suger på att skriva snabbt! ^^ Så losar ju direkt. Påminner mig lite om Typing of the Dead! Men bara lite...!

that's very cute, and good for touchtyping :)

Thanks gio. I figured it might be good for typing, I just hope it's not too hard - or too easy for that matter.

Det där spelet var kul tidsfördriv + att man lär sig skriva snabbt. Två flugor i en smäll ;D Bra gjort!

Oj, tack tack =)

Hey, nice game, simple and funny; but the idea of using special characters like "!" or "'" is very a bad idea.. maybe work on an English Keyboard.. but not in all keyboards.

Hey lk, I agree it wasn't the very best choice I've made. But at least I didn't use the Swedish åäö, I don't think anyone except Scandinavians would ever make through that.

Hi.

I thought the idea for the game was fun, and so was the dialog, but I had a hard time reading the small font. Also, when the buggers ran too fast it would blur, just amplifying the problem of the already small font. Lastly, there was one time where their text overlapped making it almost impossible to distinguish what it said.

One thing I did like was that the same key-stroke would apply to multiple buggers. It added a level of strategy where I might wait for similar buggers to appear so I can kill them all at once.

I got to about level 8 before I died. I had fun. :)

Hi Joey. I'm glad you liked it :) You're absolutely right, I had a hard time with the fonts and readability. It's my fault, I knew about it, but I couldn't fix it and I sorta left it when I could sorta see them.

Pretty nice game, good visuals and implementation.

Your comment:

You can also use very simple markdown in your comment.

Use *italic* for italic and
**boldness** gives baldness.

It's really easy to insert a link:
<http://quicklink.com> = http://quicklink.com
[title](http://link.com) = title

Note that the link won't insert any http:// so you'll need to add that yourself.

Double enter will give you a paragraph or
end the line with three or more spaces for a hard break.

Use anything above or their html equivalents.
