How does your game fit the theme?
A level has two phases: "calm" one, when you gather resources and find allies, and a boss fight, that starts after you get enough attention.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Code and art was made from scratch
Music and sound effects were from https://www.weloveindies.com/en

I liked the art quite a bit, I played as a bee which has always been my life goal
Thank you :)
Really cool concept, gameplay and art. Really enjoyed playing it. The music has something to do with last of us?
Thank you for playing! About music - to be honest I'm not sure about The last of us (I haven't played it yet, I know it's amazing, just not my genre). We just searched for suitable music on https://www.weloveindies.com/en , tried to find something with main accoustic guitar, something tense but not to much. And for the "calm" phase we found amazing "Desert Campaign" track, not guitar, but it fitted perfectly in our opinion.
Great art and neat concept. I like gathering things and gathering members of the party. I feel like it is a bit wonky on the balance end for the combat. I think making it so you can see a bit further out and improving the navigation would help with the feel of the game. The vibe is already cool and it could be really good making things feel more natural.
Thank you so much! Your suggestions are right, thanks for them, I guess we'll make a lot of changes in this direction (increasing fov, addind character rotation, fixing bugs with hitboxes and so on)
Nice game! The concept is nice and I love the visuals of the insects. I think the best advice I could give you is to spend more time polishing (even if you have to make less content). Buttons should highlight on hover, player should have q small attack animation and sound, hitboxes could be refined, that kind of stuff. Still a nice job overall!
Thank you! Yes, the tech state of the game is far from perfect.. it is a good lesson for us, we'll surely follow your advice. Anyway, thanks for playing!
Music was great during boss battles. Abilities were locked when both insects were on the same tile? Great abilities and interaction with the objects. Great entry!
Thank you so much! Insects on the same tile - it's a bug.. I saw a few people encoutered it, sorry for this, we'll fix it after the jam.
The art style is very charming and unique, and I can't say that I've seen another game fit the theme in this particular way. However, I couldn't figure out how the combat worked too well. Otherwise, a fun and unique game!
Thank you!
Awesome art style 🐝
Which game engine did you use?
Thank you! We used Unreal Engine 4.23.1 (last official version that supports html5)
Interesting concept and very unique, first one to see this kind of game.
I like the art and animations all perfect and good music to fit in for sure. Tho I was a bit lost in how to play correct the battle phase kinda confused me, so maybe try for another jam to make a good tutorial that helps dumb players like me xD.
Overall well done, good game!
Thank you so much! We surely needed to add some detailed explanation for the skills from the beginning, it's our mistake. We'll work on it after the jam.
the gameplay is cool. Nice one! Good Job
Thank you!
Love the art style and the music, the gameplay is cool. Nice one!
Thank you!
Cool game!!!
Thanks!
I really love the idea and visually it looks gorgeous, I even liked the music. But I think it should be more balanced, maybe have the walking action add less attention points or make the field of view better, because it's hard to first see what the other insects want, then find it and then come back to give it to them. Also my game crashed when I used a health up. But other than that the theme is on point and I liked it a lot!
Thank you for the detailed feedback! We'll think about increasing fov. And yes, I agree, it's unbalanced.. we'll try to fix it after the jam (along with the crash). I'm happy you enjoyed it! Thanks!
cooool!
Thanks!
Really love the graphics!The gameplay was kinda confusing because of the lack of information and the music was feeling kinda off (It had some western vibe to it). But the idea is really fun and I think you can really make a great game with this!
Thank you so much!
As the others said, some more info on stuff like what the attacks do and whatnot would be nice. But i liked the art, especially the sprites for the insects :)
Thank you!
This was really cool! I think it would be good to have some more information up front, but I still really enjoyed it. Visually impressive.
Thank you!
I Think giving some explications for what the attacks do would have made combat easier.
Thank you for playing! We'll make such UI improvements in the future
Great combination of game mechanics, kinda cool buzzing around and building up your team. The art style really stands out too. Good job!
Thank you for the kind words
Hee-ho. Very ambitious and nice-looking game. I liked the novelty, it stands out in the game jam. I could've used a few more tooltips or hints, but otherwise nice entry!
Thank you so much!
is the first encounter the final boss because I can't get past it because it doesn't allow me to attack
Thank you for playing! Yes, the second battle is unbalanced for now, we'll try to fix it in the future
