What premade assets did you use, if any?
We have some sources for audio we sampled and music we used on the itch page. I would paste it here, but I'm rushing to submit

I did not use AI in any form throughout this jam.

The visuals and concept are amazing! I just wished the camera function was controlled differently.

I love the art style of the game, and the concept is pretty cool! I think if the camera was controlled through WASD instead of panning to mouse location and space, the game would feel pretty fluid.

That's a pretty good idea! I also think WASD is probably more natural. We kinda got too attached to the idea of making the game feel like League of Legends, where you can do most stuff with the mouse.

Incredible work for only a couple of days! Great concept, I love the idea of guiding your little bugs to safety. Unfortunately needs more time in the oven.

Really cool for only a couple of days! Unfortunately I couldn't get very far because the bugs kept walking behind stuff and I couldn't see but that could be a skill issue 😅

Hey guys, I just wanted to tell ya'll the controls, because the original plan was to say it on the Itch.io page:

  • ESC = Pause
  • Middle Mouse (OR Hold Space + Click and Drag) = Pan/Rotate
  • Left Click = Guide Bugs
  • Scroll Wheel = Zoom in and out
  • Numpad 0 is for cheaters

You may lay eggs on the heated vents to respawn units. 

You need 10 bugs to push down a big red button. 

Pushing down all three buttons wins you the game.
