This was good, good puzzles, movement felt really nice, cute art style, it felt well rounded, and polished. You did a great job with this one =)
The mantis DID yeet me inside some blocks once though =P

The mechanics are very clever and it's very satisfying to solve a puzzle. I was stuck twice on the crabs level, once in a wall, and once the crab column was stuck at 3 crabs instead of 4 on the right, which prevented me from climbing. Also good level of polish on the graphics and sounds, well done!
Very good level design! Super fun problems that were a great challenge. I really enjoyed it! Oh and the leaderboard was such a nice touch. I saw my partner on there one slot faster than me! lol
Thanks all! Yep last minute collisions are hard 😅
The levels felt well thought out and the ramp up after each level felt good. It left me wanting more. Overall really well done.
Super cool! The cool things about the collisions is that it fells like something that could help a speed runner :)
Nice concept
I love the idea of interacting with the insects as your allies/tools and the level design is great, atlhough the "direct into the wall" manti's attack needs to be nerf!
While it was on the simple side, I still enjoyed the puzzles. The leaderboard was a good touch too. It was easy to soft lock on the first level with crabs, but the restart function solved all of that. Basic but solid.
Really nice game, the way the mechanics work with each other led to some really interesting puzzles!
The level design is really cool, need lots of strategies to go to the end point! nice game!
Cute game, I especially liked how the crab looks, the assets are interesting!
Super fun game, enjoyed sound design a lot, spider on level 2 was a bit jumpscare :D Loved all the puzzles - simple and enjoyable
It's super fun and cute! First I expected the creatures to be hostile and was positively surprised they all help you in some way or another. Unfortunately you can get stuck and then you're unable to proceed.
It’s interesting to see a game where the insects are the allies, even though it is slightly counterintuitive. The music is good, but it feels a bit upbeat in comparison with the rest of the game. The animation is really good. All the puzzles are interesting and creative, and overall, it's a fun little game!
I liked the puzzles, goes really nicely with theme! Good work
One of the best games I've played so far! I spent so long avoiding the insect on the first level...but once I understood the insects were helping, it was so satisfying to solve these puzzles and play all the way to the end! Getting carried by crabs felt like a fantastic victory lap. I'm very glad there was a restart button. Definitely would've liked indication that existed, though I was pleasantly surprised when I pressed 'R' that it worked.
I really liked it, and felt that the mechanics were quite unique! Good thing there was a restart button, though, because I got stuck several times. Still, very fun to play!
Very nice puzzle game, it's very hard to come up with fun and interesting puzzles in a short time but you did excellent on that part. I did get stuck in a wall after jumping off a crab carrying me thru a wall later after dying I couldn't restart the game so had to hard reset. Other than that I found it very enjoyable
Very fun puzzles, glad I checked it out after happening to see the post about beating the top time. All the creatures had cool mechanics, albeit slightly jank at times (and also when I was speedrunning, waiting for the crab conga line got a bit boring tbh). Figuring out how to optimize some of the levels was a fun challenge too; first clear took 6m 28s but I managed to push it down to 1m 55s which is currently 1st place. Also, you can moonwalk by holding A/D then tapping the other direction very quickly. Great game!
Really fun! Good puzzles at first, and the jank strangely made it much, much more fun to speedrun. I figured out some fun tech, like a way to ride up the spiders while still carrying an item, and a neat little clip on the mantis level. The only reason I stopped grinding was because waiting for the middle crab level got a bit dull (I spent a while trying to find shortcuts, and was sad that there weren't any.) Tech for the last level is really neat. I'm Joe B on the leaderboard -- how the heck did @hooknows get 1:55?? I'm jealous.
haha thanks @hooknows and @untitled-studios! There are actually some skips in the crab level (it really adds to the jankiness).
Love the enemy coded creatures that are actually just lil helpful guys. Seemed like there were a lot of unnecessary elements in the puzzlier levels which were confusing, but maybe I was just solving the puzzles in an unintended way?
Wow, that's a really good puzzle game, I love the mechanics! The level design is very satisfying too! It is buggy in some places, mostly with crabs, but it didn't make me appreciate the game less. Actually it is awesome that people exploit it to speedrun! The track is a bop, and the sprites and animations are very cute. Great job!
