FlyTrap

Play using your mouse! Known bugs listed at the bottom - Itch Page Under Construction

FlyTrap (Jam Version)

An arcade-style endless-runner where the environment is your enemy.  Dodge boogers, germs, nose hairs, and other hazards as you push deeper into a nose. But use your energy wisely!

How long can you survive the hostile territory?

Input: Mouse/Touch

How To Play:

• Hold Mouse/Touch to hover up. Release to fall down.
• Hovering uses energy, which is restored when touching the ground. If it depletes, you become exhausted and fall - so use it wisely.
• Collect the most pellets & survive the longest to get a new high-score!

Theme:

This game was made as a submission to Brackey's 2025.2 jam where the theme was "Risk it for the biscuit" - the way it's intended to fit the theme is with the use of the stamina mechanic, where you need to decide how best to manage your energy to fly up and stay out of harms way.

Bugs/Missing Features List:

Known Bug:	Description:	Current Fix:
Keyboard controls are busted	Still wired to some left-over moves from a previous project (press K for some unintended fun - you deserve it if you notice this)	Only use mouse/touch input
Can only go forward in menus on touch devices	No 'back' option in menu for touch devices - whoops.	Refresh page
'Back to Menu' button does not work	Unable to go back from Game Over Screen to Main Menu	Refresh page
Audio shenanigans	SFX do not play & music is sometimes too loud	Press N if too loud
Leaderboard does not actually work	Not connected to anything, & sometimes doesn't load properly	NA
Missiles/Laser Beam do not spawn	Cut due to time constraints	NA
Stamina UI visual glitch	Sometimes clips past the background UI element, or is overlapping the timer	NA
Game Over Screen visual glitch	Remnants of the Main Menu & Background can be seen when you go to the Game Over Screen	NA

Planned (but unfinished) features: 

• Missiles/laser beam
  • Currently using placeholder missile art and a laser beam I made from a different game which isn't thematically consistent
• Hazard blocks
  • Black tiles are currently used as ground/platforms but they were intended to be floating germs that you must dodge)
• Missions/Achievements
  • Barebone framework that's a buggy mess.
    
• Rogue-lite system with shops, areas, and aaah I was dreaming. That's all planned for the post-jam version though.
