Swat the Bug! is a two-player, 1 v 1 fight to the death.

The Rules:

• Two characters: Sleepyhead, and Mosquito.
• Sleepyhead needs to swat Mosquito to get a good night’s sleep.
• Mosquito needs to drink Sleepyhead’s blood to survive.
• Sleepyhead can smoosh Mosquito with blunt objects or savagely with his bare hands.
• Mosquito is tiny and can hide in any number of spots in the apartment.
• If both players are standing after six minutes, they both lose.

Better get swatting!

Sleepyhead is controlled in first person, Mosquito in third. The game is round based – best of 5 wins, and players switch characters each round. Sleepyhead can pick up a number of household objects – like a keytar – and use them as weapons. Mosquito can hide in a number of locations, and can interact with light-switches.

Swat the Bug! was a 7 week project. I was a Game Designer, Unity Developer, Level Designer, and helped out with sound and programming. The game is built in Unity for PC, with mouse and keyboard controls.
