New rule: The game is...

Bugs attack. You eat tenth breakfast. Bugs attack. Bureaucracy kills half the bugs. Bugs attack. Mom reminds you to take your vitamins. Bugs attack. Yoga is worth the pain. Or is it? Bugs attack. Bugs attack.

About the Game

You're just trying to enjoy life, but bugs keep attacking you everywhere you go. Your summer cottage, the desert, even your dreams - they're always there.

Features:

  • Twin-stick arcade shooter with bugs that won't leave you alone

  • Become a yellow arbitrary measure polytope, weaponize bureaucracy, or have an identity crisis

  • A total of ten locations where you can't escape the bugs

  • One breakfast a day keeps the bugs at bay (or does it?)

  • A game engine I made myself because I'm stubborn

  • No meta-progression because I'm lazy

What players are saying:

  • "I couldn't figure out how to move"

  • "The buttons should be styled"

  • "There's too much text"

This is not a place of honor. Nothing valued is here. What is here is repulsive to us. The form of the danger is bugs. Lots of them.
