I couldn't figure out exactly what I was supposed to do even after reading the instructions, but I like the art and the sound effects a lot and controlling the bug was pretty fun too. Could be something cool with more time.
Being a bug in a vivarium is super fun and a great design idea ! (and the insects' animations are crazily cute !) Unfortunately I was extremely bad at playing :')
I like how moving left and right makes the little bug skitter around. Good bug
Unfortunately it wasn't clear to me what I was meant to be doing - whether I was only dodging or if I was meant to turn and eat bugs as well. More inputs made more bugs spawn but I didn't seem to be able to use the Dash ability or the "charge" mentioned in the instructions. It's nicely presented and has a lot of personality in it's graphics and sound design. The way in which the game is said to match the theme also sounds like a great interpretation that's much more dynamic that simply playing as the antagonist - I only wish I understood how to play it. :(
