Placeholder sprite, but I'm working on a new Insectile! I hope they will make the water areas feel much more alive!

Working on a feature that should've been in the demo to begin with... a map! As the Insectile world expands, it will become necessary for thorough exploration!

It's Insect Week!

To celebrate, you should play the Insectile Demo!

It has:

- Ladybugs 🐞

- Caterpillars 🐛

- Crickets 🦗

- and many more cute crawlies!

I added outlines and effect symbols to the board. Insectile placing has never felt better! 🦋 What do you think about these changes?

I'm revising the date of #InsectileContest just a bit!

Since the winner will not be decided until at least Monday morning, I will be accepting submissions through Sunday night : ) There is still plenty of time to design your own puzzlingly-shaped bug!

Okay, this one's silly:

An unsuspecting beach ball you can kick around... but it's actually a pill bug in disguise.

Following demo feedback, I've been trying to design more large encounters.

The fireflies are a great example! Lots more space for big bugs!

My game can be hard to capture in a quick post because it takes seeing a full match to really grasp.

So, if you can spare 51 seconds, I'd really appreciate your attention and feedback on my turn-based RPG about puzzlingly-shaped bugs! : )

It may just be me, but I think this effect is really cute:

With Bubble, you can build a temporary shield. Each tile placed soaks up 1 damage from the next round of attacks. I was inspired by Diving Bell Spiders : )

🎨 I'm hosting the Insectile Design Contest!

🐛 Design a cute, puzzle-shaped bug!

🏆 One winner gets their design in the game and a free copy of Insectile on release!
