Funny game!
The game was a bit janky, but the humor was genuinely funny. Had fun playing it :D
Very funny lol!
A little buggy, (I'm the funniest man alive) but super funny and I was hooked on getting those special bugs!! The intro was an amazing touch XD
HAHAHA that was hilarious!!
loved everything XD
HELL YEAH
I WON
what now?
Hooked me in with it being about bugs. Intro was amazing, A+. Game made me smile. I couldn't figure out if there as any penalty non-evolve for doing the the wrong thing. If so, it could use better messaging to the player if they are doing the right workouts or not, but I understand if there wasn't time for it.
So, the idea was to have the Big Bugs attend the insect olimpics after you evolve them. That got cut, but I still had all the assets and a system to determine how the larva would evolve.
In the end I thought that explaining everything would only build false expectations as it's all setup with no punchline. So keeping the game nice and snappy became a priority. But if you are curious, diferent excersises will give you diferent bugs. Eg. If a bug is good at Weightlifting and good at Special it will turn into a demon fly.
Very funny game, loved the voice over haha
legendary game. Theme a bit loose, I had a very hard time to move and drop the bugs they just kept snapping back to their old locations. Very funny game though. Very stylish
