Thanks for giving us a gander! And yeah, you can absolutely just grab the bugs, but the stun from the loop massively nerfs their catch resistance, so hitting them with a quick circle makes them way easier to grab.
And yeah, unfortunately, we had to really carve down the idea and the execution due to the time constraints, so we ended up with money as a.. score? I guess? and nothing to buy, no tutorial, etc, things like that. Happens, y'know? Thanks again!
