  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story mode centers around a protagonist's obsessive quest to kill a fly within a six-minute time limit, with each level featuring brief recollections of significant life moments that are quickly overshadowed by the fly. While some players find the intense and creative gameplay engaging, others criticize the narrative as minimal and lacking depth, viewing it as a mere backdrop to the arcade-style action. Overall, the story serves more as a quirky premise than a fully developed narrative.

    • “Good intense story mode, creative fun arcade mode, definitely recommend.”
    • “[*] story - or lack thereof.”
    • “The creator of the game has passed off some semblance of a story.”
    • “Each level starts with the protagonist recollecting some important moment of his life, retelling the story in his head, before becoming distracted by a fly buzzing around.”
  • humor
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in "Fly in the House" is generally well-received, with players finding it funny and entertaining, particularly in its absurd premise of throwing objects to kill a fly.

  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for becoming monotonous quickly, primarily revolving around the repetitive task of killing a fly with limited environmental objects. Players note a lack of variety in maps and mechanics, alongside a frustrating user interface and minimal audio diversity, leading to a recommendation to watch gameplay before purchasing. While some find brief enjoyment in the mechanics, the overall experience is deemed lacking and tedious.

    • “This game easily gets boring over time, as its only game mechanic is to kill a fly with objects you can find in your environment. There aren't many maps.”
    • “Bad UI and mechanics.”
    • “You have to do so much to get to the second level, and there is only one song that plays during gameplay.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are described as very basic and reminiscent of low-budget titles, often compared to a $1-3 game. While some reviewers acknowledge that graphics don't need to be exceptional, they still feel that the visual quality is lacking, especially when compared to similar games like Goat Simulator.

    • “The graphics in this game are very, very basic.”
    • “The graphics look like a 1-3 dollar game.”
    • “It doesn't have to be a masterpiece, but the graphics are lacking.”

    • “Really like the idea of the gameplay, but it constantly freezes and crashes :(”
    • “Buggy as hell...”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as adrenaline-filled but limited, with only one track playing during gameplay. Players are frustrated by the inability to adjust the volume and the game's numerous bugs, which have led to negative experiences and even refunds. Overall, while the music has potential, its repetitive nature and technical issues detract from the overall enjoyment.

    • “But I just so happened to throw it out the window in anger as the rage built inside of me from both a fly and adrenaline-filled music.”
    • “Can't change volume, can only toggle music. The game is so buggy I had to refund it since I couldn't progress past the first level.”
    • “You have to do so much to get to the second level, and there is only one song that plays during gameplay.”
    • “The music is filled with adrenaline, but it only adds to my frustration with the game.”

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant optimization issues, with players reporting noticeable lag during specific interactions, such as shattering glass or porcelain. This level of performance inconsistency is unexpected for a game of its type.

    • “This is not the type of game where I would expect any kind of performance pitfalls, but it does have them.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly due to a challenging progression system and difficult levels. The extra challenges contribute to the grind, making the experience feel unnecessarily prolonged and less enjoyable compared to similar titles.

    • “However, once you are done goofing around and try to actually get through the levels, it does get a bit grindy and frustrating, mostly because of the difficulty.”
    • “The extra challenges become tedious, the progression system is ridiculous, and the horror mode is bad in comparison to even Five Nights at Freddy's.”

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is generally considered to have little to no replay value, with multiple users expressing a lack of incentive to play it again after the initial experience.
