Swat the Bug!

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!

Download a Mac build. Requires two players and networking. Grab a friend and have fun!

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.
