The music is a perfect representation of how my brain felt playing this game... I felt silly. Also, whenever I pressed left shift and then right shift (without releasing left shift), the game wouldnt recognize when I stopped pressing left shift. Maybe A and L would've been better keys but still, pretty cool.

My sticky keys ping had a panic attack playing this. Really interesting concept here. I found myself just riding either the floor or the roof. Not sure if it's very floaty or if I was just having issues because of 'sticky keys.' Really like the look. It's a bit hard to see what's coming down the pipe [literally] with a big round abdomen blocking the way :P Fun stuff though! :D

Is there a goal for this game? I thought it was a spider, and when I saw those mantises crossing, I thought it's supposed to catch the bugs. But I was wrong about that. :D   Could potentially turn into an endless runner game if put in some collectibles or obstacles.

Hello!!

There is a goal, just not implemented yet.  :) We'll be continuing work and should have some updates on that front in a couple days!!

Thanks for playing!

[UPDATE] Previously, the controls were A and D, which, while not exceptional, weren't anything unusual.

Now the controls are Left Shift and Right Shift (something mentioned below), and I wouldn't have any problems if it weren't for a glitch where, if you press one Shift key at the same time as another and then release both, one of the buttons will continue to register even though you're not pressing anything.

Otherwise, I agree, but I think the game will be updated periodically.

The music really makes this game. I also love the textures used in it!

The game has a well-implemented two-button mechanic; the only problem is that it seems unfinished. For example, if you touch the stick insects, nothing happens. I think they should add a few things, especially a game over button. Although the music is funny
