love zapping bugs. extremely polished little arcade game. the bugs are so cute! 🥺

feedback:

- when lots of bombs go off the "hit-pause" sometimes gets so extreme it starts to look like lag instead of "juicy game."

- when the game over screen popped up i instantly dismissed it because i was too busy spamming the shoot button near the end. some sort of "prevent button push buffer" would be nice so i can reflect on my performance.


lovely little game. i hope y'all continue to make things. there's a lot of talent here.
