Awesome little game, and wow the effort that has gone into this is just off the charts! The environments are impressive, and I like the little mini challenges like jumping on pillars or going through a maze. It didn't have any complicated mechanic, but I like that, it was effective. I appreciate the button in pause menu to restart (and the fact you had a pause / menu at all is wow), but I also wish you had a return to checkpoint button, because twice I got stuck in weird geometry and had to go back to the start. I also found the second level really hard to traverse, one time I accidentally fell back into an old area and had to redo stuff, and I had difficulty remembering where I had and hadn't been based off the fixed perspective. I also feel like it'd be really easy to miss one of the bugs in that level and have no idea where they are, I fortunately found them all though. 

Still though despite those few minor things I really enjoyed this! Brilliant art and the music fit really well too. The menus were super clean and having settings earns you another wow point! What's the count there, like five wows? I had to delete a few from this comment to avoid saying the same thing over and over but yeah, wow!

Good game........ Would've been a bit more comfortable if the camera position was adjusted accurately 

Loved the graphics. 

I would appreciate it if you could check out my game too

I like the little bug, they remind me of the Zurks from stray or the half life headcrabs. Really nice job on it! the only thing i found weird was that you couldn't move the camera so that lead to kind of awkward moments trying to guess which platform to jump on. but over all really good! Keep it up!

Great game! I especially liked the music! Thank you, it was a pleasure to play.

Awesome game I admire those adorable little bugs because they embody friendliness. The camera, though, was a problem for me because it tended to be stuck in one direction most of the time, frequently asking me to jump towards it to a platform that I couldn't see and guess the distance there, or jump over a gap that I couldn't see from the camera viewpoint. After the top-down maze, I became stranded. I discovered two bugs from two separate paths, but I couldn't locate a door to open with them or anything. Good art, cool game, and refined menus and loading screen, in my opinion.

Really cool idea and one of the biggest game areas I've seen in this jam.


The game needs a lot of polishing but this is a really good entry.

cool game! camera angle is not perfect as well as the pathfinding. my companions got stuck in the cave where you pass the river without a bridge.

Well done! only complaint is camera angle, but I still got to the end

Astonishing visuals, but the camera positioning sometimes is not very good

Cool game. I like those little bugs, they cute, the power of friendship !
I had issues with the camera tho, it was kind of locked in a direction most of time, often asking for me to jump toward the camera to a platform I could not see and I would have to guess the distance, or jump over a gap I could not see with the camera angle. I got stuck after the topdown maze, I found 2 bugs from 2 different path, but then couldnt find a door to open with them or something.

Cool game, I feel the art was cool, the menus and loading screen felt very polished.

Really interesting game! The graphics and texturing work really go a long way to give the game a unique feel. I feel like it would've benefited from some more puzzle aspects. My biggest complaint is that the camera wasn't always positioned the best. Great game!

Cool work check out mine also.
