Cute bugs. I got a couple of levels in. It was interesting that it was a physics based puzzle and that it wasn't entirely predictable what would happen. But it also meant that it was a bit frustrating at times too. The way the critters didn't have any or almost no friction was something I sometimes could exploit but other times also forced me to restart levels. It felt a bit odd that they could glide that much.

The idea of this game is nice. Guiding the bugs using the fruits in physics based levels brings up really different experience compared to other puzzle games.

玩法很有新意,不同水果的效果给予玩家多种过关思路。不过物理效果有些怪,箱子似乎没有摩擦力,虫子能通过在箱子顶部移动来推箱子,顺便重新开始的按钮非常容易和摧毁水果的按钮搞混The gameplay is quite innovative, and the effects of different fruits offer players multiple ways to pass each level. However, the physics effects are a bit odd; it seems like there's no friction on the boxes. Insects can push boxes by moving on top of them. By the way, the restart button is very easy to confuse with the button to destroy fruits.

Fun game. The bug art was cute, and the bomb fruit added another layer of fun. I wasn't able to complete it though because I suck at puzzles sometimes lol. The music was pretty calm and relaxing.

Aaww, this game is really cute and has a really relaxing atmosphere! I loved the level where you could pull a bunch of the bugs onto the objective all at once and I was extremely surprised when the bugs started needing to be exploded with the fruit... ;-; Overall, great job!

Thank you for the hard work! It's an totally very interesting platformer puzzle game. I'd very appreciate you can control multi-bugs to beat the level, and make them have different functions. The hand-drawn style bugs are cute and the music are properly.

And here are some small issues, like the bug sometimes will stuck in the wall or in some levels you have to set the bubble bug in a proper position or the bubble will be break by some passing blocks. That'll be better if I have a undo button but It's a gamejam game so that's okay.

A little bit confusing that I do not need to guide every bugs to the exit, but UI shows the total number of the bugs (or maybe I missed something?).
I like the idea of bomb fruit.
Good job.

The bugs appear to have some sort of vision range which was not obvious at the start of the game. And there were a few times the game would just get stuck without warning because the bug could not get to the fruit even though that is part of the strategy. But overall a good puzzle game with some very nice bug graphics.

Very interesting puzzle game combined with physical effects. The level design is exquisite. At the beginning, you will be at a loss because of the bugs and fruits stuck, but later you will find that you can destroy the fruits.
I love fruits,I love Originium Slug
