I got to level 7, saw the beetles, and gave up out of pain. Your game is painful and its awesome.

@coopizcool Thanks for playing and commenting! You got pretty far then, well done! :clap:
I know the game is very hard, and that can be either frustrating or funny, haha :smile:

Wow, super pretty and fun gameplay! Frustrating but not unfair. I lost count on the levels, but for some reason I didn't get scores for level 7? Also just noticed the instruction to play whichever level you want, that's very useful :D
@dining-philosopher Nice scores! :clap_tone1: And thanks for your kind comment :pray: :smile:
Thanks for the bug report, I fixed the issue with getting the score of level 7!
Ok, the art and music did not prepare me for how hard this game is, though I can understand the bugs bumping against my windows much better now. But I liked the challenge and had some fun next to the frustration :) Cool game!
Level 5 is already too diabolical for me :laughing: I tried and tried and eventually just gave up. Took a peek at the other 2 levels, though. I really do suck at the dexterity component here - definitely not the target audience.
But my lack of competence aside, I think the idea is nice and diabolical :wink:, and your level design is very good. There is a natural progression to the difficulty that feel good. Unique interpretation of the theme is very welcome. And I purely adored the music. I think I only kept trying for as long as I did because of the music. The colors are very good, as usual, and the art on the flowers is somehow hypnotic. Just... can't... look away.
@fnelix Haha yes, the game looks easier than it is :wink: Thanks for playing and the nice comment!
@fabula-rasa Thank you very much for your lovely comment and kind words! :heart: I know, it's deceivingly hard... I hope you had some fun and were not only frustrated haha :sweat_smile:
The vibes and general atmosphere were really good! I skipped level 7, but I see that it's most of the cases xD. Cool game!
Frustrating is fun right ;) You got my blood boiling a few times.
It felt polished and quick to play! Nice level design.
The game took forever to load but it was worth it - I've had some fun. The difficulty is insane, it looks so easy to play until you actually begin playing.
The controls were difficult to get used to at first, but once you get the hang of them, the game becomes very engaging.
Very interesting game, the concept is very cool, and the gameplay is great, and it is also quite difficult. I tried to speedrun every level, but it was a bit difficult to do from level 5 onwards. I gave up on level 7 after trying for an hour. What I like most is that the control feels very smooth, and the feedback after hitting the wall is also very good. I played for nearly two hours, and my hands are shaking as I type this comment:D It's so fun! I want to recommend it to my friends, don't let me suffer alone:D 33.PNG
@tgnics Thank you so much for playing and commenting! It's quite impressive that you got the first 6 levels! :thumbsup:
@slay-a-stone Thank you for your kind words! Haha, as long as it's the good kind of frustrating I guess :wink: Maybe it's more fun when it's your own 'fault' than when the game is unfair? :thinking:
@nohopeoutthere I know it's slow to load and it doesn't show you anything. I spent quite some time on trying to get a loading screen to work, but that didn't work out... Thanks for being patient though! I guess I like making games that look easy but are quite hard haha :sweat_smile:
@kaspjej Indeed, you have to get used to the controls. Thanks for playing and commenting! :smile:
@kutaryoushinkoku Oh wow, thank you for engaging for so long and your lovely comment! :heart: It's indeed a very difficult game. Thanks for trying to speedrun the levels, because then I didn't add the times for no reason hehe :smile: I noticed that it's also very nerve wracking to see someone else try level 7, it's so unpredicatble what the next move is, haha! Also, my hand is also still painful from all the playtesting :see_no_evil: Let me know how far/fast you and your friends get! :smile:
@papaver I did indeed have fun! Until I hit my skill ceiling, I really enjoyed the game and the difficulty progression. So it definitely was not all frustration :smile:
You hit a really nice balance in challenge and fun, very cool
I keep pressing the arrows, but most of the time, the bug does not move, is the game lagging or do I have to press the keys a certain way?
@kobato-games Hi! Hmmm, the bug should always move, either going right or going left. When you press left or right, you should start turning left or right, you don't have to hold the keys down. Might I ask in what browser you are playing? I've only tested it in Chrome so far.
Edit: also tested in Firefox now on my work laptop, and it seems to work there. But I can imagine it doesn't work on macs, since that happened before with a Godot game of mine...
Really cool idea with the movement, surprisingly challenging as well. Graphics and audio are also really nicely done. No complaints from me great entry
@papaver. I'm in Chrome. I'll give it a try again later.
The idea is fun, and I like the music and the visuals. But too difficult for me.
Got to level 6 but then had to give up :laughing: It's kinda frustratingly hard trying to make the bug go where you want it, even though the controls work well. Music was nice and overall very pleasant experience. Great job!
@jk5000 Thanks for playing and commenting! Yes it's quite difficult. Maybe I should make several difficulty levels :)
@kuggenhoffen Nice job getting to level 6! I hope it was not just frustrating but also fun? :wink: Thanks for playing and commenting!
I was so engaged in this game!! I really needed the little circle breaks in between. And felt so bad for the tiny creature to die so often! :(
@n-lan Thanks for playing and commenting! How far did you get? I hope you had fun :)
@papaver , only until level 4 ( :cry: ) but I played the other levels too (pressing the buttons 5-7) :smile: And yes, I had fun :grin:
@n-lan Nice, that's pretty far already! :smile:
