I like how you used the death of the character for gameplay. Sounds and visuals are decent too. Unfortunately, I didn't see any goal in the game, as I understand, you ran out of time and hadn't managed to implement something.
Yep, that's exactly what happened. Thanks for playing, though! :)
The bug theme reminded me of Hollow Knight :) Sadly, the game doesn't fit too well with the theme.
Thanks, the art was, indeed, partially inspired by Hollow Knight! Yeah, sadly, I didn't get to implement the theme into this game.
This was interesting and I like the concept but I did find it slightly frustrating at times when my bug piles fell over but I liked it
Yeah, you're right. That irritates me, too. Thanks for letting me know I am not alone in this. :D
I really like the inspiration behind the concept of this game! And the art is obviously very nice. I bet it'll be really interesting if you keep working on it!
Thank you for the kind words! :)
Very interesting and unique idea! Are you planning to keep working on it post-jam? (I would love to see the game expanded).
Just one thing: I didn't notice there's jump until I've seen it mentioned in the comments. I think it's the way it's written, I must've skimmed over "/ space" part, and just read it as "Controls: WASD. "E" to die". So I thought you can only move left and right and was trying to fill the whole pit with dead bugs. (Not having jump also made sense with "out of control" as well). Maybe you could rephrase the description of controls to something like "Move: WASD. Jump: Space. Die: E" so it explicitly mentions jumping?
Thanks. Wow, that was well-noted! Indeed, it was hard to spot that "Space" is among other controls.
Yes, I plan on continuing this game at some point. Thanks for your interest!
The art is really amazing, a shame that it isn't finished - but that's how it goes sometimes, 48 hours is rough!
Indeed! Thanks for playing and leaving a pleasant comment. :)
Love the art style, it looks great. I also find it kinda hillarious to have a button where the player can just die, it’s a very interesting mechanic.
I watched your devlog and I ran into the same problem as you did, just that I am mainly a programmer, so i overengineered a bunch of systems until I ran out of time for animation or even some challenging levels.
But hey that’s what game jams are for right? For learning more about game dev, about yourself and your limits.
You're right, the experience gained is much more important than the results. I hope you'll be able to use the systems you mentioned in the finished version or future projects!
Big fan of the art style and music, adding some more animations and game play and you might be on to something great! good job!
Thank you! :)
I like your art style and music, but that's all about your submission. I hoped that the bug would have a nice run animation at least :)
Haha, with 10 minutes to do an animation, I couldn't really fit that in. :D Thanks for playing!
Well, basically what you said in your devlog: really cool and nice looking game with no gameplay :)
It has potential though and I really wish there was more to it.
Thanks, I hope I'll be able to finish it! :)
This game is very cool! I love the atmosphere you created with the art style and sound design, it's a really clever concept with a good message! good job! keep working on it even after the jam, rated! please check out my game too :D
Thank you for the kind words!
Wow this was super well made! and really Cool artstyle! If you like this idea, keep working on it! Awesome job submitting a challenging game to this jam and i hope you improve your game making skills :) If you have time, please check out my game :D
Thank you! I checked your game out and it seems like I have a lot to learn from you. Your game truly feels like a finished product. :)
