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!

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!
Thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!!
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!
loved the ideas and art , the game is really scalable . good music
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.
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!
Really nice game. I like the art style.
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.
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!
First shot is immediately emotionally engaging. Felt sorry for the little ant. Short, sweet, polished. 5-stat worthy art.
I love the games art style and minimalist approach to direction on where to go.
Love the visuals and music, did like the ants ,
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!
Very nice experience! I really enjoyed the aesthetic and hand drawn nature of the characters. The random magnifying glass kid was a little obnoxious since I didn't feel like I had control over the movement of the ant. I also found a bug (lol) which makes me world record holder for speedrunning your game. I just talked to the guard and then immediately walk left and go kill the spider. Thanks for making a cool point and click, I'd be interested in seeing a further expansion in this style
Loved the visuals, and the story. For a moment I thought the game was incomplete, but then I saw I could keep going left of the anthill. Really charming! Great work.
Among all the nice things on Bug Life I have to highlight the theme and the visuals/aesthetic! So so so cool and refreshing!
Thank you so much for your kind words!! Glad you enjoyed it
Cool point and click game. No handholding and everything has to be figure out, although it is pretty intuitive.
Also love the line-art aesthetics!
Very fun and with a unique atmosphere! The music perfectly matches the game's style, and the way the mission is presented without words, but with symbols is really cool!
Congratulations on the game!
A very charming and atmospheric game, it looks very cool!
What a short and lovely game! The style gave me Samorost vibes so kudos to ya'll! It was nice to just take the time to play this game and relax. Hope to see the game get an expansion, well done!
