How does your game fit the theme?
The contrast between little bugs and big buildings was the core of the idea. There's also the pun on "built," as it's a game about construction and demolition.

Cool game! Watching the chain reactions happen was satisfying. It took me until almost the last level to realize what the beetle could do. Still not sure if there is a functional difference between ant and snail.

the bugs are too cute. i can't take it.

The music is exceptional. Very interesting concept as well with nice backgrounds.

An interesting puzzle game. Reminiscent of old school building demolition sim flash games.

I kept losing my guys in mysterious ways. Me being bad at the game is just one of them :D

I did not know that you could move them after eating some good snails died this day!

Quite entertaining! I think the idea was very clever. The bugs were are bit buggy sometimes (no pun intended), though. They sometimes needed me to drop them a few times before noticing there was a block marked to be taken down. But apart from that, the gameplay was nice. Great job!

Was a bit difficult to understand at first but then I got the hang of it. Awesome to see another GameMaker game in the jam!

It's really cute! I love the sound design, the music and the little noises the lil guys make are adorable. One thing I noticed is that sometimes they tend to not detect when you click on a block? Like for instance on level 2 with the beam, the left snail has a hard time detecting one of the blocks if you break the bottom left structure piece. But overall I really enjoyed it! Again really cute, would totally play again.

Really neat idea! Game sound and looks very nice, a bit confusing to start tho.

Love the idea! Very cool concept for a puzzle game. It took me a while to figure out the controls and exactly what I was supposed to do, so an in-game tutorial would have been nice. I think you could potentially expand the written tutorial on the game's description page to clarify some things.

I had fun! Great job!

Yeah, the written "tutorial" was a last-minute idea and I think it comes across as pretty mysterious.  With a little more time, the first priority would be some in-level explanations. Thank you so much for the feedback!

woo woo!
