legendary game. Theme a bit loose, I had a very hard time to move and drop the bugs they just kept snapping back to their old locations. Very funny game though. Very stylish

It made me laugh and I love the assets and voice acting, but I'm not exactly sure what the goal of the game is

Creative! Got a real good kick out of it, but it seems fairly directionless and i was utterly lost on what needed to be done. Those assets sure are.

If there was a humour category I'd want to rate this a 10 out of 5 stars. I loved the voice acting too

The game dev: It's just a silly game about making bugs work out, don't go too hard on the soundtrack
The composer: *insert that video of a guy playing a keyboard which is on fire*

Really entertaining game, the perfect amount of silly to keep me entranced. Was not expecting the big bugs at the end but it was a great finish to the game, I ended up playing it multiple times just to see what other bugs there were.

I like the game. I was a bit confused what the objective was but the voice acting was great. The art was great (the demon fly will give me nightmares). The intro scene was great. I like that you actually named it them bugs can bench. Great game :D
