How does the game fit the theme?
BUG LIFE is a point-and-click adventure game. You've been deemed an unproductive member of the anthill, so you've been kicked out and sent on a mission for sweet treats. Who knows what's out there in the garden?! Risk it for the biscuit!!

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We did everything ourselves!

aw thank you!! im glad people liked the visuals!!

Submitted

This was so cute :)

During the boss fight, I like to think I was dancing so bad it hurt that bug :D 

Submitted

Very good game, I much appreciated being brought back to the snail once you've already done the dodging. It's little things like that that make this game fun. The artstyle is really nice, blending reality with drawings with a child-like imagination, I particularly liked the glove shop! Great job!

Submitted

I fell in love with the cute visuals and music!
I ended up being a chill guy and dancing my way to victory at the end lol XD

Submitted

Such great graphics and adorable, simple gameplay! This is one of my favorite games from the jam. It totally transported me to another world – I had an absolute blast.
Also, huge shoutout for the hilarious character designs. They put a big smile on my face!

Submitted

the visuals are extremely extremely striking and jaw-dropping. A couple more sound effects would have gone a long way. It's a great execution of the theme and seemed like achieved everything it wanted to in a short amount of time. thank you for creating this

Submitted

Good work on the ideas, art style and music. I love a good adventure! It's a perfect combination to explore  deeper narrative, and perhaps expand on mechanics. 7 days really isn't very long for all that though. Well done getting as far as you did. Good luck with the jam

Submitted

This game is so adorable and stylish! I love the art and the narrative. The mini-games are tied seamlessly into the gameplay. It has a touch of essentially everything: explore, collect, trade, even a boss fight. It feels like a demo of a bigger game. I hope you expand it! Great work!

Really amazing idea with the drawn art and pictures, loving it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!!

Submitted

Very quaint and charming game with a lovely art style. Not many point and click games in game jams. Very basic but with enough variety to not be boring.

Good job!

Submitted

loved the ideas and art , the game is really scalable . good music 

Submitted

Love the variety you get out of point and click gameplay, the death lasers, the sugar game, very fun. Also appreciate you allowing the player to skip past the challenging area on the way back. Would love to see/hear more player feedback on clicking things. The art is so unique and a massive standout. The final fight felt a little out of nowhere, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. Great work!

Great art and music that perfectly accompanies it. I purely enjoyed the game very much.

The only suggestions I have is to somehow mark interactive object, even changing a mouse cursor would be enough.

Developer(+1)

Better late than never, we did a big postjam update including custom cursors that change over interactive elements. Thanks for the suggestion! 🐜

That’s great! Hope more people will enjoy the game with this quality of life improvements!

Submitted

Really nice game. I like the art style.

Submitted

The art style is incredible, I love how the ant's challenges are so well thought out. The game is really intuitive, and it leaves you wanting to explore more places.

Submitted

Very creative and enjoyable! The gameplay twist at the end definitely surprised me in a positive way. The visual style reminded me of some Amanita Design games which I love. The soundtrack was very pleasant too. Such a solid all-around entry. Great work!

Submitted

First shot is immediately emotionally engaging. Felt sorry for the little ant. Short, sweet, polished. 5-stat worthy art.

Submitted

I love the games art style and minimalist  approach to direction on where to go.

Submitted

Love the visuals and music,  did like the ants ,

Submitted

The game is so cute. The graphics are amazing.

It would be great if you could add more sound effects, a clearer goal, or more interactive elements that clearly show the game.

I really like your work. Keep it up!
