clever. I love the double bug pun. this is so far one of if not the best games so far 

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Wow, I hope you win the jam, this is the best game I've played on this jam. Absolutely epic creativity and level design, but the one thing keeping this from being 5 stars across the board is that the controls being so far apart on the keyboard made it a little unintuitive to play, but that's not too bad.

can you explain what you mean too far apart? On my keyboard,  X, C, and Space are placed to be comfortable for the hand. Maybe you have a different keyboard? Thank you for the sweet comment, I really appreciate it!

Submitted

I guess not exactly far apart, just kind of strange to have the arrow keys be so separate and the rest of the controls somewhere else. Perhaps something with good ol' WASD, and then one key to pick up -and- drop bugs would've been a cleaner control scheme.

Developer

I understand what you mean, thank you (: We were debating which to use at the start, but we settled on the arrow keys. It's definitely a possible thing to change in the future !

Adorable and clever game

This is a good concept you should continue to work on it!

thank you! I like we are both fishies! (I'm not the one who ate your avatar)

Submitted

That was amazing! I really wish there were more, this could be expanded onto a much bigger puzzle game! It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the mechanics, and the art was great!! My bad for the confusion of not being able to complete a level while upside down, that one was my bad lol, amazing game!!

Developer

haha thank you a lot!

Submitted

This game is really fun with some great puzzles. Also the art and game feel is incredible and the animations are super, great job!

Developer

thank you a lot!

Submitted

Really interesting mechanic with the changing skills, and only being able to have one at a time.

Developer

thank you!

Submitted

csimple and intuitive just nice job

Submitted

oh my gosh!! this is the cutest game of the jam i have played so far. the best art too, this is absolutely incredible. i love this idea, and i ESPECIALLY love how shiny the block graphics are. are you planning to keep working on this? :)

Developer(+1)

I plan on adding 1-2 more insects, and 6-10 more levels as of now. However, the art style, screen types, and character will be reused in an upcoming cave survival game (: Make sure to follow to look for prototypes of that game, and update on this one!

Submitted

i will follow! i can't wait.

Submitted

nice

Submitted

The art is eye catching, the gameplay is soft! I It was short, I was just chilling :)

Submitted

The idea and the execution of this platform is pretty neat, the art is also detailed and vibrant ! Kudos for making your own engine as well. That didn't go unnoticed. Unfortunately, the game is a little bit short with only 3 puzzles and 2 bugs, but it's still nonethless impressive to have this in 3 days considering you started from scratch.

Congratulations !

Developer

more levels are on their ways! I'm happy you liked the game!

Submitted

It has one flaw and that it is too short. Wow!

Everything about this is so good! It's only a shame that there aren't enough levels to explore the cool mechanic and to enjoy the art some more!

Submitted

Great game.. wish it had more levels I want more :D
