One final game to round out 2022, I promise this is the last one I make this year.

I was suddenly hit with inspiration to make a small Game & Watch styled game, so I got to work after asking if people would be interested in it. And here we are! My newest title: FLYTRAP!

This is another simplistic game. See a fly coming? Move the head of Marty the Flytrap to block its path! If a fly gets through, they'll munch on Marty's stem! Get bit a total of 4 times and you're out! It's a gourmet race!

PLAYING FLYTRAP - THE BASICS

KeyboardControllerTouch/Mouse
Start GameZATap Left or Right of screen
MoveArrow KeysD-Pad/JoystickTap where you want Marty to go
Change ModeXBTap Top of screen for GAME A
Tap Bottom of screen for GAME B

As always, this game plays best with a controller. But it still works with a keyboard, and has been updated to play better with touch or mouse! Feel free to try it however you like!

GAME MODES

GAME AOne fly approaches at a time, as you progress the flies become faster!
GAME BTwo flies will appear at the same time! Speed will ramp up twice as fast!

FLYTRAP now has 2 ways to play!! Challenge yourself with 2 game modes and totally reworked difficulty progression!!

And that's about it. This is a very small game so there's not a lot to say about it. Just play for a bit and have a good time!

Special shout out to Garden Guardian, a really cute little G&W inspired game ALSO about fighting bugs... just in a very different way. I played it recently and it inspired me to try making a G&W styled game too

PLUGINS USED

REMOVETITLESCREEN, SUPERTOOLSENGINE, AND HUDMAKER PLUGINS ALL CREATED BY SUMRNDMDDE

Please check out their website, you wouldn't believe how hard it was to find a plugin that let me have a visible score display during gameplay! They saved my life on this one!

SPECIAL THANKS

Andar on the rpgmaker forums for explaining mod functions and finding multiples of numbers in variables.

Shaz on the rpgmaker forums for providing the script to make a game wait for a number of frames as decided by a variable.

The new difficulty system GENUINELY wouldn't have been possible without these 2 people's posts so MAJOR shout outs to them!!

That was pretty cute, I haven't played many Game and Watch inspired games but it did feel like one of those Flash games I played a lot as a kid.  The game's functional and it all looks authentic.  I wish the difficulty ramped up a lot quicker though, unfortunately I thought the game was pretty boring until the score reached 70 or so.  Maybe it could be set up such that the fly doesn't target the same place twice in a row?  I'll also say the difficulty increase at 200 caught me off guard and I lost soon after.
