FLYTRAP
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
Keyboard | Controller | Touch/Mouse | |
Start Game | Z | A | Tap Left or Right of screen |
Move | Arrow Keys | D-Pad/Joystick | Tap where you want Marty to go |
Change Mode | X | B | Tap 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 A | One fly approaches at a time, as you progress the flies become faster! |
GAME B | Two 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!!
3 WAYS TO PLAY
Pros | Cons | |
In Browser | - No download, no headache! - Play from the convenience of this very browser you're in! - Play in Fullscreen! - Play with Controller, Keyboard, or Mouse! | - No score display in game, only visible during a gameover. - Can't see which game mode is on. during gameplay. Have to select it from a menu. |
Download | - The full, intended FLYTRAP experience! - Play with Controller, Keyboard, or Mouse! - Have it open while you do other junk! | - No true Fullscreen - You do gotta go through the whole downloading process. I get it. |
Mobile | - Play on the go! Neat! - Play in Fullscreen! - Play with touch control! | - Not its own dedicated app. - No sound effects, just vibes. - Same cons as the In Browser version because... It is the In Browser version! |
You can now play with 3 different methods with multiple control types! Wanna play In Browser? Go for it! Want the full experience? Download the executable! Want to play on your phone? Just tap that nice little fullscreen button!

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!

cute!
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.
