This is such a whimsical and unique mechanic, I love it! The bugs are great. :)
This was great! Placement of the ammo was nice, I got excited when I found more shells for the shotgun. I ran out of ammo completely after I grabbed the key with one monster left alive so I was running screaming to the end, got whacked a few times but I made it!
I loved the graphic style! A little more lighting would have been helpful, but I the mood overall was great.
One thing that confused me for a minute was how to use the items from the inventory (like ohhhhh 'E to interact', I have to interact with it).
Looking forward to updates, but this really has heart to it and is so impressive for a jam game!

I’m glad you enjoyed it! :) I definitely agree that more should happen, it’s a bit long without too much going on, but I’m still proud of what I made in a weekend. I ran out of time to balance the depth/speed/encounters but I’m planning to release a more polished version. I do think it’d help if the numbers were changing faster; I should probably add a decimal place or two. Thanks so much for the feedback!

I agree, there should be a little more going on and the ending could be a bit more satisfying. I had more content planned but ran out of time (like, I put the music together and added all the sound in the last 30 minutes). I wanted to make the dive a little shorter and/or speed it up a little, but I just ran out of runway to adjust it before the deadline. It was a really ambitious project for me, and I’m happy that I got it “done” but it’s definitely not complete.
I added a little bit to the description so folks have a better idea what they’re in for. :) Thank you for sticking with it & for the feedback!
