Didn't have time to add anything menacing or obstacles, so, feel free to devour anything on your path without fear :)

I have absolutely no drawing skills and definitely should learn how to use an engine instead of always rewriting everything from scratch :)

On the plus side, I learned new things with Rapier2D !

My first try for this LD was a platformer, but I knew I wouldn't have enough time to make enough assets for it to be interesting...

And it didn't feel you were a tiny creature when I tried to see how it was on the top of the plant. After several hours on this prototype I scrapped it to work on a destructible pixel environment. It was so bad and ugly I won't post a screenshot here. I did what I could and made the "thing" I submitted : A 2D toy where you play as fleas/bed bugs. My only regret is not having any challenges and obstacles in my game, it's a mere toy, but I had fun working on this project. And one more, produced some horrendous code ;D

In the end, I was pretty sure I was going to abandon yesterday, but I'm surprised I released something.

Cool concept! Gets laggy when there is too much ants.

This is something special! I love the art, they're super cute. And this made me laugh out loud when I see the big creature hahahaha! Good work!

Lol, I missed more creatures to eat. Love the music, gj!

rpgwanderer 2024-10-07 13:01

@pedryx, you're right I should have stopped the game after the last "creature", I was late and didn't have time to optimize it and there are a lot of stuff dangling in memory...

rpgwanderer 2024-10-07 13:03

@ejunegao thanks, given it's probably the first time I've drawn animals since I was a kid :D

I love the sense of humor!. I'm sorry your original concept didn't come together but thank you for pushing through and submitting this :D

Just tried out the game, its a cool idea! Honestly your platformer idea that you posted a screenshot of looks really cool! Sorry it didn't end up working out, we have all been there.

Fun game. And a bit disturbing :). The audio for the fleas is great.

sdcorpse 2024-10-09 18:48

Audio and humor are very nice) It would be great if it has some more gameplay.

zimny11 2024-10-10 19:24

That was fun! Music and sound effect are great. It was funny too. Not much else too add. Great job!

sudocoffee 2024-10-10 20:13

3D is a cool look for a game jam, but definitely a lot of work :) The thing you did release is great though. The flea noises, music, and paper theme really give it a mood.

anekich 2024-10-10 21:34

I always dreamed of being a flea and eating Cthulhu, thanks

phyrocast 2024-10-10 23:28

Its nice! I was very much unsure at first if i had any control over anything, but still it was entertaining so well done!

kadokta 2024-10-11 01:00

Hah, finally another game like mine where you control pixel-like creatures with your mouse! Nice! Just needs some levels with obstacles.
