Hello everyone,
I’ve just released my latest game, A Buzz Life, made for the 1-BIT JAM 6!
It’s a fast-paced collection of microgames inspired by the WarioWare series, where you control a fly trying to survive a series of strange and often ridiculous challenges — like digging through trash, dodging spiders, or freezing in place to avoid getting swatted.
The twist is that your fly is aging in real time. You start as a maggot and go through its entire life cycle as you play. If you don’t finish the sequence of games before reaching the end of its life, it’s game over. That time pressure adds a layer of urgency to everything, and (hopefully) some dark humor too.
The jam’s main constraint was to use only two colors, which shaped the game’s visual style and made for an interesting creative challenge. It ended up placing 2nd overall, which was a great surprise.
Would love to hear any thoughts — feedback, impressions, or just which minigame gave you the most trouble.
A Buzz Life: Microgames for winged weirdos is also available on Itch.io.
Thanks for checking it out! - Crudaluna :))
This is brilliant! The presentation is so stylish, the warioware style games are fun to quickly try to work out what to do, and the concept of having a short life cycle is really clever. Thoroughly impressed.
