You are a goodies seller on a bug market for bugs. Scale your goods carefully, you don’t need unhappy customers.
To find out the weight of the goods, use sample bottles. Control the right and left parts of the scales so that they are on the same level. Remember, these scales can hold a maximum of 10 kg.
The number you choosing when taking items, is a number of pieces not weight!
Controls:
Left mouse button - Take item (Interact with the boxes and bottles)
Right mouse button - Put item on scales
E - Make an offer (If “E” doesn’t work please press it again)

Wow, what a strange game :D Great graphics, but no sound, which is a pity, cause I would like to hear the soundscape that goes along this weird alien bug world. But I do aprpreciate the weirdness and the fact that it´s about a bug market for bugs!
Thank you!
Ok, no bias, but games with bugs are actually really epic and cool and awesome so yeah.
Thanks galvanisticgaming, I completely agree :D
The gameplay was a bit confusing, but I love the surreal PS1 vibes. Good work.
Thanks Mige, honestly we were going for the vibes first and gameplay second, but we have a pretty good idea on how to develop it further and make it fun!
this game is cursed, in the best way possible. Kidding aside, it’s a fun concept!
Thanks Samuwhale! Glad you liked it!
I love the vibes this game is giving off but weighing things on a scale isn't exactly fun gameplay to me. The creature didn't even give me feedback on whether I got the estimate right or wrong.
Thanks brennanjeppson! So nice that you liked the vibe :)
Feedback is displayed in text above the creature: if you got it wrong, text should say that it's not enough, and if you got it right text should say "thank you" and the creature will walk away.
Or the problem could be that "E" button didn't work the first time you pressed it (you have to kinda spam it). We'll fix it in the future updates!
Good game, serve bug
Hi solidpfs, thanks for your reply! :)
In the future updates we'll make the bug pay.
