Game description
Crawl around and grow by finding your silverfish friends. If you get caught by the humans, it’s over. The goal is to completely infiltrate and kick out the humans so you can steal their home.
Theme interpretation
From the word "secret," I thought about the small things hiding around people's daily lives. The seldom-seen silverfish is one of them. They, too, live their own unique lives.
Wildcards used (optional)
Small Palette
Limit your colors to 4
Speed Run
Make time the enemy

Pretty unique! Funny how both our games deal a lot with bugs lol ! The menu artwork is really nice <3
I liked the mechanic where the more fish you eat the bigger you get. I presume that getting bigger is what scares the enemies away. Good job on limiting your color palette. Would be great to get a few tougher levels if you decide to keep iterating on this game.
Hahaha, a game about silverfish — that was unexpected! Too bad it’s so short :)
Fun game! I enjoyed the gameplay playing as a silverfish, nice work!
This was a fun one- insects vs humans, I liked experiencing their perspective. I had to build up my strength before I could challenge the humans. Now I think I may reconsider squashing the next silverfish I see--I will need to eradicate all of them so they never can rise up against me
The silverfish is so cute. I hope the game can be longer though
Cute game running around as a silverfish scaring people away was fun. I love a simple game done well. I sometimes got too big and couldn't get through the door which was less than ideal. But I did enjoy the light stealth gameplay.
Thanks for playing! The bug is already fixed.
I like the idea of the silverfish community, it's an original choice, it gives an atypical atmosphere. The cover presents the concept very well and makes you want to play. The principle of the game is quickly understood, even without explanations.
On the other hand, I had to restart the game several times to finish the level. Some humans turn gray and follow us instead of disappearing, so we're stuck at the end.
Thanks for the game! :)
Thanks for playing! The bug is already fixed.
hahaha interesting! One day all humans will turn into bugs. Of course this is just an imagination. I still love the earth.
Thanks for playing!
I love the cover art and you did a great job on the theme and design. I think the idea is funny, and it's a fun little jam game. As others I've also sadly locked myself into a room. Great job nonetheless!
Thanks for playing! The bug is already fixed.
I got stuck in one of the rooms after getting bigger, but overall fun idea. The cover art is great, made me want to know more about silverfish lol.
Thanks for playing! The bug is already fixed.
Movement fells a little off to me, but I loved the theme! Too bad there is no music or soundfx!
Thanks for playing!
The movement was pretty interesting! But I got stuck in one of the rooms when I became too big :( Lovely cover art though.
Thanks for playing! The bug is already fixed.
That splash art goes so hard.
Thanks for playing!
