Also, really wish the protagonist could walk faster, but the game made up for it by having awesome music! I really enjoyed all of the bugs names and the unique buildings they could make.
Awesome work and thanks for sharing this with the world!
The music is adorable the graphics are adorable and it's just adorable. Although I started thinking myself of dictator of these bug people but maybe that's what I do.
I didn't get how to craft things there tho: you put them in the slots and then what? That's the part that could use some pointers.
1. Make multiple people follow you (ability to interact with multiple actors at once, starts with 1 max and goes up progressively as you play?)
2. Get running shoes early on or something that lets you move faster... Roller blades or a bicycle would be cooler.
3. More ways to get food, or more ingredients at least to create soups.
4. Smarter AIs, although it's fair considering it was made during a game jam.
Music was very serene and a big part in setting the gentle mood of gathering cute insects to interact together and be happy.
