Describe How Your Entry Fits the Jam's Theme
It's not a bug - it's pretty bold statement. But can you really quickly spot the difference between bugs and not-bugs?

Whac-a-bug is a game about crashing bugs & worms with your hammer. But be careful! There are other animals playing in your garden. They obviously are not bugs, so kindly please, don't smash them...

Really fun, polished and addictive game! Found myself jumping nonstop hammering everything on sight (trying to not hit the animals but... hey, sht happens xD). I'd have loved to know how to get 3stars, completed every level I tried but never got more than two. Also love the game doesn't introduce new controls for you, but new types of ground which change the game completely. Very well done =)

This game is polished and well-done for this short time frame.

Although I don't understand the use of the coins, or the crates containing them (and also the rocks for that matter). The general feel of the game could be a bit more challenging as well :)

Aside from that , very nice game.

Hi Jundo, thanks for playing our game and for your feedback.

Coins were designed to give a player bonuses. It was so obvious for us that we hadn't put the task to make them so on our todo list... So we forgot to implement it.

That's hard lesson in planning for us.

This was a really cool game! Good job! I just wish that maybe the crates or rocks had a Time bonus in them sometimes! But really cool game!
