I am loving the illustrations of the little bug friends and the mechanic is nice too! However, for some reason, I can't advance past level1. It just doesn't continue after I beat it.

@iocutus You need to click on "Next level" to go to the next level. Doesn't it work?

such a cute game!! i really like the concept. nice work!!

This was really fun! It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that I could just run into any unnecessary bugs to get rid of them, and make it easier to isolate the right groups of the others. I also really liked the art, and I feel like the music fits the game well.

Beautiful, professional game. The sounds are great. I did find on Level 2 the first time I just couldn't advance to the next level. I think I understand now that if I catch bugs I'm not meant to catch, then they just die and don't count, and I had eliminated all the bugs and had no way to progress without restarting. In either case, very well done!

So beautiful and fun. I just couldn't stop collecting bugs. Bumping into bugs that I didn't want to get rid of them was so much fun. Stopped about level 24 in the end. Some people seem to have trouble understanding they need to collect the exact groups of bugs listed on the right, judging by the other comments, you should communicate that more clearly.

It would be a shame if this game didn't get enough ratings, so please go and rate other games and make useful comments so you get ratings in return. Getting to 20 is really not that hard.

Adorable and super fun! The bug illustrations are lovely and the gameplay is both clever and satisfying. Great work!

Very cool and fun game, as the guy above me has pointed out, it seems that people are confused on how to play it, which is quite unfortunate. Nevertheless, excellent entry!

This is a really polished experience! The music was kinda loud for me though. It took me a hot minute to figure what I was doing wrong at first. Really fun!

Amazing game. Great idea and design, great polish, beautiful art. Feels like something straight from a mobile game store. Very well done :heart:

At first I didn't understand that one bug icon means to catch only one of that type, I thought I need to catch all bugs of that type only. I think it could be better explained. Especially on level one when you catch all of them in one go, the game doesn't register this as loss, but you can't progress further.

Another small thing I encountered was then I was trying to close the web loop, sometimes pressing very close to the end of the web didn't connect and I had to press couple of times in place.

Great game! I'm a big fan of the visuals and the web system, feels super intuitive and kind of magical how you made the web work & look so nice! And very fun to play :)

Fun and chill puzzle. Once I got the hang of what the game was asking me to do I has a great time catching the bugs. The unexplained but easy to find mechanic of using the spider to scare away the bugs that I didn’t want to catch was great to figure out and useful in several situations.

Part of me wonders if there should have been some kind of limit on the levels, time or web or something else, I found in several of them that I spent a lot of time waiting for the bugs to sort themselves out into an advantageous layout for me. Maybe just giving them a small chance to fly away on their own after an amount of time would have put some pressure on me.

Overall a great take on the theme and a fun game to play for a little while, well done!

Before playing it, I thought it would be a boring bug-catching game. But your mouse web-weaving gameplay really blew my mind! I think it would be even more fun on mobile, but I can't download it on my iPhone... I really think you guys should put more effort into the homepage introduction. The current homepage content is totally not worthy of your amazing gameplay! Last but not least, I love your music.

Interesting idea, well done :smile:

It took me a while to get that you need an exact number of bugs but after that it was fun, nice pacing in the diffuculty. Like the graphics, the sound was nice as well, a good experience all in all. Good job.

This was a fun game with a very neat and well implemented core mechanic. I particularly liked how you need both speed and patience (and it's possible to trade some of one for the other). I also appreciated the leniency - if you knock into a bug while finishing off catching it, it counts as caught :). I played to level 30, which looks like it's the (repeating) end, although the difficulty didn't seem to increase much past level 19.

@fractal given your username, you might want to check my game out.

What a nice jam game! There's so much to love about this and everything feels super polished.The game just has this overall freshness and vibrancy to it, and the details like the slowly changing background colour and the wriggling frames around the game area and the bug icons add up to it. Lovely music, too!

tanis 2025-10-19 11:57

The bugs are just cute! :smile: The music fits the game very well. I enjoyed playing it, nice simple but challenging mechanic. And grats for making this mobile-friendly, too. Really nice entry
