I love the design of the snail in the game!

TheClownOfAllTime @TheClownOfAllTime

yo.. we’re both making bug games.. your Insectile, my Bugable… sorry if my games idea was to close to yours..

Brigadeiro @Nightfoxy25Animations

Looks interesting and charming, even though I myself don't like bugs, I'm looking forward to it!

I've heard this is a collection game, I LOVE THOSE!

KOU_SAI @KOU_SAI

This game is so cute and pretty!!! The art, the mechanics, gaaaah! I need to spare money to buy this!

Find bugs, catch bugs, and piece bugs together! Explore a huge, whimsical world as a little mushroom in this clever, turn-based RPG about puzzlingly-shaped insects!

Wishlist on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3045270/Insectile/

Find Bugs

These creatures we call “Insectiles” hide under every rock and within every crevice! Finding them is not so easy when you are small. Explore giant gardens, uncover secret pathways, and hop across lily pads in search of each and every Insectile!

Catch Bugs

Every Insectile is a potential teammate! Collecting them all will require careful observation of their behavior: Bring tasty snacks, chase energetic crickets, morph new species, and even dodge wasp stingers to grapple these unique creatures!

Piece Bugs Together

Battle against enemy Insectiles with a distinct mixture of puzzle and strategy! Synergize your new Insectile teammates with complementary shapes or abilities. Insectile combat is quick, satisfying, and rewarding of clever combinations!

I'm currently writing bestiary flavor text... What kinds of little bits of flavor do you all like seeing in games?

Are these names fun? Cute? Nonsense?
I am trying out this defamiliarized naming scheme for the different species in Insectile. I'd love any feedback!

Unlike any indie game I've done before, I have this goal with Insectile that the maps should feel "cute" even when zoomed out.
At some point, I'd love to do a time lapse of me building one of these rooms :)

I've been hard at work on level design sketches the past couple weeks. Maybe I'll post some soon so you all can peek at my process! Stay tuned :)

I'm working on cutscene features like smooth camera movements. Enjoy a snippet of this prototype tutorial!

Working on some more enemy actions for my indie game.

Snails and other Insectiles with shells can now "take cover" which shields a portion of their body.

This is like the Tetris equivalent of a defense buff!

These might be my new favorite Insectiles in the game, movement-wise.

Pop the flowers off their back to open them up for capture!

Let me show you my favorite Insectile: the Locksnail!

In place of doors and keys in a traditional Zelda-like, Locksnails will be scattered around the world. They act as mini-bosses closing off certain areas!
