When I first the name of your game I thought I should change mine, but I was too lazy and Creepy Crawly is just too good not to use.
One of the favorites this round and it felt very rewarding to play with the upgrades. Nice challenge and not too punishing. I got some Mario 3 vibes from the map system; I will have to try something like this. It would be neat to see some alternate paths, maybe have some risk vs rewards. Overall great job.
