This was alot of fun to play! Had to figure out juggling the scanner and the flamethrower, but it built alot of tension. Great job!

Very unique game idea. Had tons of fun playing. Great job!
Really awesome game, had me very engaged. Great work!
I'm glad we got to make that story together, David. Bless.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone! Couple things to clarify real quick:
-You can breed insects of any species together. There is a 50% chance of the final insect being either species -Hoppers sell for the most money, but the Beebl and Speetr come with a mutation (tusks and stinger, respectively), so it can be worth grabbing one to get those mutations if you don't have them -The Sell tab on the computer doesn't update automatically, you have to click buy or option then click back. That's what we like to call "A Ludum Dare feature". -If the game feels to slow for you, *SPOILER* click the pen next to the breeding notebook. While enabled, all eggs received from breeding will have a guaranteed mutation. -You can turn the music off in the options menu on the computer. Didn't get to randomize the song order in time, so I know it can get a little old after a while.
Hey @gamayun, thank you for your feedback, that's super helpful. As to the tank, it's really dependent on playstyle - sometimes you might have several insects with mutations, and want to breed them to a single insect, so you hold them in the tank for a bit. Or, you just want to see a giant Speetr with wings and claws decimate a bunch of ants. As to your other points, absolutely. We were down to the wire monday night, I literally threw that instruction poster together an hour before submission lol. Sadly, alot of features got left on the cutting room floor; I wanted a coprophagy mutation so you could have an insect that eats feces instead of having to clean it; Josh designed a really neat temperature control system for the main tank, with different insects having a temperature threshold- pretty sure it's even included in the pseudo-DNA randomizer we wrote. I love that idea of goals though, maybe a sort of check-list of bugs you need to breed, which in turn would unlock new bug types to buy. We really loved making this game, so we'll likely continue on development after ludum dare, and your feedback is invaluable, thank you very much.
This was a really awesome game. The art was really eyecatching. Great job!
Awesome aesthetic, however it ended up crashing after a minute or two each time. Overall, great job!
Man, this ain't the Redwall I remember. For real, looks amazing, definitely on them. Great work!
Awesome game, browser version was pretty choppy but the download worked great. Music and visuals were excellent, and a unique mechanic for sure. Excellent work!
Things get crazy real quick, it's pretty awesome. Very cool game. Great job!
Hypercapitalism ruined a utopian society of beetles right in front of my eyes. 11/10
Awesome game, super unique concept. Great job!
Awesome game! It was neat trying optimise progression from round to round. Great job!
A surprisingly complex puzzle platformer. Love the graphics, the slug is awesome. Great job!
This was super fun. And totally on theme. Great job!
I was far to emotionally invested in my peasants before nightfall. I now understand my mistake. Great work!
This was really cool. Absolutely top notch vibes, and pretty intuitive once you get a hold of how to select the little griblies and assign them. Really great job.
Awesome game, surprisingly engaging. Awesome artwork as well, great job!
Super awesome game, was a lot of fun and looks great. Great work!
The title makes us a promise, and you delivered on that promise. Awesome job!
I have a soft spot for bullet-heaven type survival gamess, and this was an excellent execution of that. Would love to see a full version with additional weapons and enemies. Awesome job!
Very cool game. Awesome aesthetics.
Neat game, though a bit unstable. Aesthetics and vibe were top notch. Great work!
This is fantastic. Bold choice of engine, but it looks and works great. Awesome job!
Really tight game. Great art style, and very polished. Great job!
I was very quickly punished for breaking the cardinal rule of life: never drill straight down lol. But yeah, solid mechanics, and had me trying again and again to go deeper. Definitely fits the theme. Great work!
Thanks for combining the two things that have brought mankind endless consternation; Dante Alighieri and the google dinosaur running game lol. For real though, tight game, looks great. Difficult enough that progress feels rewarding. Excellent work!
Wonderful experience; Great vibe - even though I beat the actual chess game pretty quickly, the narrative still kept me engaged. Great job!
Really awesome vibe. Had some issues prior to fullscreening the game, but I think everyone goes through that trying to get Unity games to play on here lol. Great atmosphere, controls were easy to pick up and understand, and even when I tried going off the map, I got snapped right back. Great job!
Really great vibe, and solid polish. Definitely captures the theme well. Great job!
Interesting game! I think the UI might have a bit of a scaling issue though, there was a box in the middle of the screen with all the navigation and inventory stuff, about 1/5 the size of the screen. Still managed to play though, and I love the art in there! Great work!
This is fantastic. No notes. Great job!
Really excellent work! Felt very polished, and the controls were very intuitive. Definitely fits the theme. Good job!
Awesome game, vaguely reminds me of the sand digging section from Mario Bros 2. Definitely fits the theme. Great work!
Really awesome vibe! Felt super polished. Great job!
Really super game, looks and sounds great and the controls were easy to pick up. Could definitely see this getting expanded upon. Great work!
Awesome vibe, very awesome music. Great work!
Very cool idea, and excellent execution considering the dev time. Great job!
Some optimization issues aside, the art and vibe of this game was something else. Great work!
Definitely captures the spirit of the theme. Not one to play with the lights off lol. Great job!
Super neat job! Love the aesthetic, seemed super polished for compo. Great job!
Very neat vibe, definitely on theme. Great work!
