Mosquito

Mosquito is a game made by Piga Software for the December 2021 LibreJam. It is an arcade game based on quick reflexes. The player controls a prehistoric giant mosquito, preserved pregnant in amber and recently revived. It must feed on a human in order to resurrect its species, while avoiding having it all end in one quick smack. It was written in Gambas 3.16.2 and uses Qt 5 for windowing and SDL 2 for audio. Graphics are sourced from the CC0 library from Openclipart with sounds from the public domain portion of Freesound. Development tools used include the Gambas IDE, Inkscape, Audacity, KolourPaint on top of Fedora GNU/Linux. An updated version was released on January 31, 2022 that featured a custom options menu among various tweaks such as animation. It uses a mouse oriented incarnation of version two of the Gambas Arcade Engine.
