Simple, cute, and fun arcade style game with a short "story mode" as well as a "arcade mode" for various playstyles. The art and music is nice, though there is a black square outline to the main character not present on other sprites which seems odd.
Ultimately, a very well executed game, each "run" takes about 10 minutes but the game can be played repeatedly for higher scores. I could imagine playing this on an actual arcade machine, as it's so well done and looks the part.
Sweet fruits, cute bugs and a wholesome short story- that is an adorable little game! Perfect for a short session during a break. The artwork during the cutscenes is also really nice and the soundtrack fits in wonderfully, too. Well done!
This game was a fun simple experience. The game is very simple, but like some older arcade games there is a lot of fun to be had! It's enjoyable, and the controls are very intuitive.
However, there were certain instances where if some bugs were uncatchable, and to an extent, unfair. The bug net had some weird hitboxes, as do the bug's visions (sometimes they can see me from across the screen, and other times can't until they're right in front of me).
But those complaints aside, this game is pretty great. I would suggest making it easier on the eyes by having a darker background, not less saturated by any means, as the player pops off quite distinctly even with out the black square. About 25 minutes long. 3.5/5
It took me 2-3 levels of figuring out what to do (and discovering I couldn't lose), but I enjoyed the 'sneak/positioning'-mechanic . I had the feeling that I was getting better in it over time. The different bugs with their different behaviors made the levels interesting. As did the frog storyline ;)
It did feel a little unfair at the moments where I had to 'turn' (in stead of immediately walk) to catch a bug. My character would then run into the bug and it would fly away.
I just finished the story, and I thought the game was great! The whole "Sneak up on the bugs" thing was fun, and I liked the different behaviors of each of the bugs. The music and the cutscenes in the game were really good too!
nice graphics! i really liked it. it played it on twitch. later i will upload a video, i'll send it here
i was a little confused at first also with the net, i felt like there are some unfair situations; maybe you could add some delay after the bug sees the player, or increase that time if there is any

Can you see if you can get rid of the black pixels around your character?
Other than that. Cute.

I enjoyed this! It has an old-school arcade feel and I appreciated the lack of an antagonist. Also, the bug screams are A+

But all in all: nice job.
good score!
thank you very very much for playing and enjoying <3
yeah i wonder if there is a better way we could have done the turning.
thanks so much for the feedback and for playing <3 <3 <3
I’m no trailer pro, but I think perhaps more than one black panel with text would be better.
This was so good!!!!

I just finished the story, and I thought the game was great! The whole "Sneak up on the bugs" thing was fun, and I liked the different behaviors of each of the bugs. The music and the cutscenes in the game were really good too!

I loved it!! For a minute I thought the frog would be my rival and would eat all the bugs I was trying to catch. Anyway, congratulations!!
Congratulations on your release!!! Really fun, cute, and addictive game!! :D

great game! i love the arcade aproach
amazing! thank you for playing! i'd love to see the video!
and great feedback thank you! i've been feeling the same way after watching people play, so will see what we can do :)
Controls was kinda confusing but it was fun to play!
thank you!!! which part of the controls was confusing, as i might be able to fix it :)
Yes i think too, the "catch" is too much slow, so the most part of the bugs can run away
Also, the movement is kinda slippery and delay
