I Made a Game about Pest Control (GMTK Game Jam 2024)

in this video i made a game for the Gamemaker's Toolkit Game Jam 2024. The theme was Built to Scale. Making this game in 4 days for the GMTK game jam was crazy. I had a lot of fun with the art and sound effects. Hope you enjoy learning about the process of making the Fly Guy!

Awesome art style! Thanks for taking part in the jam!

Fellow game finisher here, appreciated that you brought up managing time inside and outside the game jam. I also used Construct 3 for the jam, and still almost ran out of time lol. Great video, glad you were able to submit a game this year :)

Good job, i like the general art direction specially when the character was small. I think is a unique idea, maybe something you can continue to explore. I do like you did it in Construct, I love that engine but I could never get the polish right so good for you for getting way further than I ever did :)

Nice work! Just played through your game and it was pretty fun!

This art in this game was bootifool haha (her husband really be cooking up some contraptions). I made Bills & Bouquets with Caleb Gilbert and my god was it stressful lol (thank god there was that hour extension!!!).

No way! The frog game was you! I played that game when I did Paint Jam that year lol

Fantastic twist on the theme! The art looks amazing.

Congrats on finishing the game jam! I feel like i make similar mistakes each time. I dont have a solid gameplay prototype and immediately jump to art / polish. Always fun to complete the game even if it doesn't meet the expectations we had for it at the start. Anywho great devlog!

I had some fun with the game and even more fun watching your video. You're funny!

[Godot-Bro]

Nice job! I was out of town so I missed the GMTK game jam unfortunately. I'll make sure to do the Brackeys game jam next month! But great job finishing, as a solo dev myself, I know how challenging that can be.

I love the art style, so cute! The gameplay looks like a lot of fun. Congrats on finishing something for the jam, that part is always the toughest! :)

Fellow jammer here! Congrats on your game! Looks awesome.

It reminded me of a game I used to play when I was young called Mr Tinny

[Monkey-Dee]

Coming back with a banger! Honestly tho, after two years your video quality has only improved!

[wafflekiller]

Glad to see you pulled through! I'm so proud of my game, but man was it a struggle to finish!

[DualGenStudios]

Hi fellow. Your game looks so good. Your cartoony style reminds me a bit of mine. Congratulations on finishing your game. I'll try it.

[PizzaMineKing]

I made the opposite - one where you play as pest. Specifically a locust swarm.

Really unique art style, congrats on finishing! 🎉

I had a pretty similar roller coaster experience haha but at least it was fun(and it finished)
