🎨 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!

📅 Deadline: July 25th

✅ Please read the full rules before entering! Good luck!

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 : )

Am I able to make a spider cute?

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!

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

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

I log on today to... 4k followers!? What!?

Should I do something special? Q&A? Something else? Sorry I'm not more prepared, but thank you all so much!

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!

It's Insect Week!

To celebrate, you should play the Insectile Demo!

It has:

- Ladybugs 🐞

- Caterpillars 🐛

- Crickets 🦗

- and many more cute crawlies!
