And the winners of #InsectileContest are...
Creepslime (Twitter) and ricekrispbee (IG)!
I will be adding both of these puzzlingly-shaped creatures to the game!

On top of being adorable, I fell in love with the crawdad's claw placements! It'll make for some super fun tile effects - I'm sure!

There were SO MANY great weevil entries... But this one takes the cake for having this super unique zig-zag shape and stubby little legs!

It has been a joy doing this contest... and everyone did a fantastic job! I will be posting some honorable mentions later this week - Stay tuned! : )

I am SO excited for some of these new maps I'm making - It finally feels like I'm taking full advantage of that z axis!

I can't wait to see how this changes bug catching 🐝

Delighted to announce that the INSECTILE demo will be in Steam Animal Fest! I'm hoping this will be a great boost for my little indie game!🐌

So if you haven't already... now's the perfect time to piece bugs together 🐛 to form some attacks! 💥

Okay, I do a color sketch for every INSECTILE before I commit to its design. I normally don't share them but LOOK AT HOW THE EARTHWORM TURNED OUT! DONUT!

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

I was worried the "blockers" in INSECTILE would annoy players - but many cited them as the best parts of the demo!

So, I'm working on new blocker types today : ) Bees leave honey splotches and water skimmers have armor that pops like bubble wrap!

I know scorpions aren't *quite* insects, but I am willing to make an exception for a super interesting shape. You also need a good mischievous-looking guy in a creature collector sometimes.

What other kinds of bugs should I add?
