Coherent and detailed while remaining very readable! Amazing work for just 2 days on art alone! The insects' animations are fantastic as everyone else mentioned and I personally really like the stomping animation.\n\nI wish there were more mechanics as the levels went on - I think the game was a bit too long for the amount of variation. What was there was fun though - enjoyed stomping my way around. Especially right in front of inspectors' faces once they gave me a penalty anyways and had a cooldown. \ud83d\ude01\n\nGreat work, looking forward to see more from you!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1081415,"author_name":"Custodi","author_uid":"custodi","epoch":1728267062,"text":"Great art work with level creation!\nLike this simple mechanic, when you need to rid of bugs.\nSometimes bugs spawned near the inspector, but it is okay.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1083289,"author_name":"Fernando Tonon de Rossi","author_uid":"fernando-tonon-de-rossi","epoch":1728323395,"text":"Such a nice concept!
