A really fun game! I liked the addition of the glitched scarabs as well! The music you chose is very befitting of the Egyptian theme!

Great job! This was really fun! With a bit more polishing this could be really addicitve. Mainly when you match your insects in a combo, I found it very hard to see what was actually going on. Really nice music and i love the variety in insects you can use! Well done!

Submitted

Great game. Nice match-4 game but with a lot more constraints and being able to swap any two insects instead of the neighbours only.

Submitted

nice game. I enjoyed having combos by just moving one insect from one corner to another. It took me a bit a while to get the insect constraints but overall great match game! props for doing everything by yourself!

Interesting concept! Didn't quite understand how the shiny ones worked..

Submitted

nice game! It took me a while to get used of the shiny target that only activate at the end of the round, very original!

I wish there was a mode with unlimited moves and a timer!

Submitted

nice match-3 game (well, it's 4 matchs though) with more twists about the bugs. nice work.

Submitted

nice puyo puyo like entry. it's satisfying to have a combo at the end of the level :) the music has a cute and fun vibe. nice work!

Nice soundtrack! A well polished game! Good job putting this together - if you’re looking to revisit someday it would be interesting to see how you can innovate on these traditional core mechanics with something completely different.

Nice job!c:

Cool game, fun and very addictive.

I have no idea if it's a good score, but I got 95440 on my first play through. I didn't really have a strategy, because I didn't always understand what the bugs would do at the end of the round. But it was fun!

Submitted

Simple little game yet fits to the theme so well. I took me some time to realise that the bugs could be swapped not just horizontally or vertically but literally from anywhere unlike the conventional kind of games. Great game!

Cute little match four game. Satisfying sound and interesting mechanics that vary over time. The idea of being able to swap anywhere on the board is clever and kind of innovative. I think it would be more fun if the enemies did stuff during each match instead of a batch hit at the end but it was cool how each did a different thing at the end of each level. Satisfying art and matching.
