such a cool concept!
This is very ambitious! There was a lot involved in this. I like how the game looks, although, it did give me motion sickness while moving around but that is a personal problem. The roaches are well crafted and animated. It started out with a "test text" and that was confusing but pressing E fixed that issue. Great entry fits the theme well.
A good game idea for a gamejam! It's a pity that the volume control sliders don't work and there are no mouse sensitivity settings, because of the rather high initial sensitivity, I couldn't fully enjoy the gameplay! I hope to see this game as a small indie project.
What an amazing RPG featuring roaches! The objectives and the plot are so detailed within a limited development time, but somehow the roaches give no responses when I pressed E if I didn't follow the quest, should make some default dialogue assigned with each roach but I do think the workload is a bit more.
Overall it is fun to explore the roach village
I liked exploring the village and following our fellow roaches story. I wished I could press E again to show faster the dialogues instead of having to wait though.
This is cute! I like the art, could definitely see this expanded into a full game
this has a lot of potential! a long story would turn this game into a decent indie game. i wish dialogues were not to be skipped when i press E but get the full sentence and then continue to the dialogue. solid entry!
Sick art!
Loveley concept. We were considering doing something similar. The theme is wonderfully realized. I love that you're carrying the magnifying glass with your antenna and that you move faster when you crawl. I did get stuck at the bar tho. I could talk to one of the patrons but not the rest. I would also recommend having E skip to the end of the current dialog and then have one more input to move onto the next one.
offers a fun, i like it
Haha such a cool idea of having roaches living in a little society under a floor :D Maybe look a bit into scaling UI for different screen sizes because I play on a wide aspect ratio and I couldn't read the objective and some dialog, but that's okay, it was fun to dance with the roaches in the bar anyways! 😆
Nice to see another cuckroach-related game ! Really enjoyed this one. Fun, original setting, nice humour and you managed to set a nice mood even with simple graphics. I had no real issues with this one, maybe could've used a running input ? Anyway, well done, impressive for a first project !
I've downloaded "fixed" version, but can't seem to be able to do anything. Pressed all the buttons, I am just stuck on this screen.

I liked the music, the drawn map on pause menu and your game cover. Would love to explore the game more but doesn't seem to work for me ;_;
@kanity Hi, thanks for the feedback!! To progress through the dialogue windows you need to press E!
Had some fun with your game on stream :) Interaction zones were a bit inconsistent, but I had a good time with the game regardless. I ain't no Sherlock so I did what I know best - I went out of bounds to find the villain :)
