Max enjoyment, Max creativity, made me laugh so hard, thank you so much!
Really liked the concept, simple and fun.
Immediately lifted weights after playing this.
Love the sudden intensity of the intro. Wonderful.
Such a Funny Damn Game. I would say giving the player feedback after every set and changes the amount of scale after sets increased randomized
This game genuinely made me laugh: really simple concept, really funny! Maybe the intro cutscene could use some work, but I love this collage-y art style. Wonder if you expand upon this concept!
Loved the intro :D Creative idea, I liked it.
Love the game idea, wish it was a bit longer though lol
Also found a bug where if you move bugs over another one, you can drag them both
those bugs CAN, in fact, bench...
its so peak
WHAT AN INTRO. Love the energy. But it also got me wanted to 100%. Lift, jump, relax and cast a spell :)
I want to be the swollest bodybuilder bug!!! I felt the hustle with the coaching!
LIFT LIFT LIFT
they're always asking "what the bugs doin'", and never "how the bugs doin'"
I rate this game 11 bugs out of 11 bugs - but seriously, it's really funny, you have a good sense of humor, and the whole sequence with the bugs lifting and casting spells and jumping over balls was just profusely funny to me - my only complaint would be the kind of lackluster graphics, but I would love to see where you can take this kind of absurdist humor next!
You could say this game is buggy
i will not apologize for my puns
Feed them to your Gecko🦎!
LIFT !LIFT !LIFT!
This game is so silly!! I loved the intro so much lol
I think I just woke up from a fever dream about some bugs working out... Shouldn't have stayed up finishing the game jam game...
😂 Best comment so far.
I like a monster training games, I was excited for a bug training game. Sadly this didn't have the depth you would expect from a training game. Do the bugs have stats? How do you know they will evolve?
I think at first, the voice was funny, but it really felt out of place after a while.
The game would benefit from sticking to both a visual and color theme.
The music didn't fit what was happening on screen.
The bugs have stats, but I never implemented the part of the game that uses them :/
Loved the voice acting, funny game, nice work!
love a humour game! so addictive ahaha with a great intro
