This game is really cute! The music is beautiful, and the graphics make it feel like a pretty comedic horror game, I'd say. I really grew attached to the little animals, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Yay MAD SCIENCE GAME BUDDIES!

This was very cute so far, I loved the tone and bug squad. LET DR LARVEY COOK? WHY WOULDNT I WANT TO BE A BUG?

I noticed after a bit there were some fewer music cues and backgrounds but I'm sure the schedule for the jam just didn't allow that stuff to make it in, no worries. I hope your team can continue and make a full release one day!

Yay! Thank you for playing our game! Yes I totally want super cool buggy powers as well! We absolutely ran out of time and definitely wanted to fit more into the game. We hope to continue working to update it in the future!

Loved the art and story! I incurred the scientist's madness and got really attached to the beaker bugs. The artwork and various expressions were excellent and I enjoyed the punchy dialogue. Clever cliffhanger ending.

We are thrilled you enjoyed our demo! Thank you so much for playing! Here’s to hoping our little beaker bugs escape!
