It's really fun and stressful. The music loop feels funny and the sound of the splat is well implemented as well. The bugs are annoying to control, but they're quite cute and similar to children who don't know anything about danger. Overall, it's great.

Music really fits the game! I played for longer than I expected to because I kept trying to optimize each run. Good job!

Honestly the music is just what the inside of my brain is like, LMAO but it was really fun and it's easy to get addicted to! I really liked it overall!!

Interesting mechanic! Was a lot of fun to play and try to do well in.
I only wish I could've save some more of my poor little bugs :(

OK, I thought I should lead those bugs to a certain place and kill them with one pat.
Love the idea.

I was able to play smoothly.
I was able to relax and think about the destination of the insects.
good job!

That was actually a very brilliant idea! The Splatoon mechanics is a little tricky to understand at first, but it is enjoyable to play with later!

Fun to play and a different sort of mechanic that is very unique. Nicely done!

I like how it plays and the music and the aesthetics are a real throw back. With a smaller color palette it would remind me of an old Atari game.

My only issue with the game was the difficulty curve: the game gets easier the as it progresses because its harder to play when there are a lot of bugs but pretty easy when you are down to your last one or two.

The instructions were a bit text heavy for me but the game was intuitive enough to pick up by just playing it.

Really inventive game idea. I liked the interesting challenge of directing the bugs by marking a route with sauce. The interface is well made and I liked that you could use the mouse scroll wheel to go through the buttons. This is a strong concept for a more developed project, well done :D

What a unique and fun game!
Easy to understand, hard to master.
In the end I could not save all my bug friends, but at least I had fun trying :D

I used to play an old Dreamcast game called Chu Chu Rocket. This game carries the same essence. Thank you for the memories!!!
