Really cool idea; I love being a bug catcher and using bugs to fight MORE bugs. Sound effects were weirdly satisfying. Interesting gameplay loop, I can see it developing more later on
I liked how the net had a bit of delay which required thoughtful timing. Furthermore, the cut-in sequence with the mantis and the frenetic gameplay that followed was both unexpected and fun.
Really felt like a well put together arcade game.
What I Loved:
- I loved all the sound effects really made the game feel awesome.
- The mechanic of switch between the bug and the catcher works really well
- The catching mechanic was satisfying!~
- The art style is really cool! Love look of the entire game both the catcher view looked and the bugview.
- The music really fit the style
What Needs Improvement:
- Took a few seconds to figure out what was happening since I didn't read the controls lol.
- Wish for a legend or help menu for what color bug does what but was able to infer pretty quickly.
- I did encounter a bug on my third play through where bugs were not giving points until about 20 seconds passed
High Score: 120
The menu art is fantastic. I like the look of the game, and it was so satisfying when I got a combo of slaps as the big catcher guy.
