I want to say that the game is cool, but it has a couple of disadvantages, there is no sound in the game at all, there is an imbalance in the number of enemies because shooting bugs do little damage and bugs that run too much, and I also did not understand how to attach different devices to the turtle, and so the game is very good, I hope in There will be updates in the future!

The game implements a really cool idea, it just needs sound. I enjoyed it.

I was able to craft each upgrade and essentially beat the game. I could see how though many players especially jam players would stop playing after a few minutes, not in a mean way, this game is really cool and I love building turrets to put on my turtle. The issue is that the game doesnt explain things fantasticly, (i struggled to figure out how to attach my turrets to my turtle for a bit) My double homing turrets didnt seem to work, I wish there were more enemy variety and I wish there was a quick crafting or more intuitive crafting interface. All that said this game is sick and I hope you keep going with it. Love the art work and animations, they add tons of juice.

The animations are cute! Unfortunately the fighting system is unbalanced at the start of the game so I couldn't know if it gets interesting later at that aspect.. I tried several times but i couldn't craft the first upgrade. You should look into making it more progressively hard. I can see at the screenshots that you put effort on the crafting and the upgrades so it's a bummer I can't see that.

I played the game. Love the art and the turtle is so cute. The control is also very smooth. However, I'm not sure what to do besides running around. Could you give me some hints?

Hello! Thank you for playing! That's understandable, I hadn't gotten a chance to update the itch page until around now.

Basically, there are random holes in the ground scattered around the map. Robot bugs spawn from these points which drop parts you can use to craft turrets to fight even more bugs, and they also give you "dna", which you can spend to mutate your turtle.

I'm glad you enjoyed the controls and the turtle, and thank you for giving it a chance even without instructions!

cool! I saw the bugs and they do damage to me so I just ran away without even looking. I’ll give it another try!
