Nice game, and interesting art style and I like the level up idea! I think that the longer I play, the more black bugs appear in the game. And at one point there are so many that it is difficult to avoid them.
Hi! Thanks for the feedback! I don't know if I'm going to disappoint you, but a certain number of insects just randomly appear in the game. It is very important to me, is it worth adding more so that insects appear every 5-10 minutes?
Sorry for late reply. I am not sure what is the direction you wanna take, but here are my ideas
Have a way to deal with the black bugs in any way possible, as they are unbeatable, and will remove everything else.
Try to count how many bugs gets removed in 5 minutes and then add an insect respawner that respawns every 5 minutes with an average amount close to the amount of removed bugs.
Black beetles can be killed. I just forgot to add a health scale above them. I think it's better to add more species of insects themselves, then it will be more interesting :) Thanks for the new update idea.
This feels like a love-child between the cell stage of Spore and that one insect resource gathering evolution war-game I played in my young internet days lol. That kind of power progression is always satisfying. I see that kind of potential in this game too since the promise is kind of the same, you just need to deliver in that promise. The promise being: Eat food, get stronger, avoid those stronger than you until you can defeat them. It’s like “there is always a bigger fish”, but I am also becoming a bigger and bigger fish if that made any sense at all.
The game was conceived as the first stage of the spore game. But due to graphics issues, we switched to insects. The whole concept of the 1st stage of spore was laid down in the game. I will continue to add new species of beetles. And if possible, I'll add an insect editor. Thanks for the feedback :)
Interesting concept, definitely room for future addition and improvement but the art was great! Looking forward to future improvements!
Thanks! I have already answered your feedback on the game page here https://boomnik.itch.io/insect-life/comments😉
The art used in the game looks good, it created the feel you were going for, including the enemies, they were good too. This can be more fun, but i still liked the concept and the execution.
Thanks for the feedback :)
