General Commentary and Game Overview
An okay attempt at a recreation of Mario Paint's Gnat Attack. A few oversights and bugs makes it harder to play, but it's still playable. Move your fly swatter around, trying to smack the various enemies as they fly in from the corners. If you're not quick enough, they'll move in complicated paths or create hazards which can hurt you.
 
Pros - Music Select - Moderate difficulty
 
Cons - gameplay bugs, making it easier to die
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
Not bad. Enemies fly in and you try to smack them. If you're quick you can pick them off without much trouble, otherwise they enter complicated movement paths making them difficult to swat. Some enemies create hazards if not hit too quickly. Toadies spit out pidgets, which you can't touch (or else), and chain chomps explode after a given ammount of time. Every 20 hits the enemies you deal with changes, until the last 20 when it's a mix of everything. Unfortuneately, the game suffers from a few bugs which make it quite easy to die.
 
Graphics
6 / 10
There isn't too much to say here. A tiled grid backdrop, a good fly swatter rip, and an assortment of enemies: shy guys, toadies, pidgets, chain chomps, and those SMRPG lakitus.
 
Sound
7 / 10
Music select is a bonus, given the nature of the game. Sound effects are used sparsely.
 
Replay
5 / 10
Eventually it will get old. But it's not impossible to play, and the enemy sets change for every 20 hits. Aside from the little damage bugs, it's a fun little game to play.
 
Final Words
6 / 10
Not a bad game to play when you're bored. Allthough it suffers from some bugs, it's not impossible, and worth a shot.
