Thank you BdR and bruno_ for finding this error, you rock! It was connected to the language settings of the browser, no wonder it evaded our testing so easily. It is now fixed, if you would want to give it another go.

 

Thanks again!

It works now As for the game, the ladybugs move randomly and you have to wait until it's facing the right direction, so it's more like a waiting game. I feel like it's too much luck and waiting and not much skill involed.

 

btw shouldn't the title be "ladybugs" or is that on purpose?

Ladybugs move as they want yes, that is the basic concept. If you poke them they first try to avoid danger (=you) by speeding up roughly in the direction they are facing, but if you keep pestering them while they are already running, they will change directions randomly as an advanced tactic.

 

This way, with some practice, you can try to control their movement. It still keeps its random nature though, because ladybirds are on the top of the food chain, so they basically dont give a damn about what you want.

 

Luck on your side is a good thing of course, but as all levels measure time, if you are skilled and have a lot of fingers, you can try to speed up the whole thing, and get ahead on the highscore list. So I would say 50% luck and 50% skill, at least thats what came out of our extensive testing process.

 

The ladybird <-> ladybug thing, isnt that one of those where one of them is used in the US and the other one in Britain? I think I have read that somewhere, not 100% sure though. Anyway, the reason I used ladybirds is that I have learnt that word when I was learning english back in the day.

 

Thanks for your comment btw.
