Demo launch day was... mixed. In hindsight, launching on a Friday (a day I never post) was not my best move.
But it ended on a high note! A ton of fun posts are coming up and more streamers are scheduled to play.
Stay tuned - I'm still programming bugs!
Next up
Introducing...
The Assassin Caterpillars!🐛
"But they're so cute I want to pet them..." DON'T! Touching their needles does 1 damage! Ouch!
Over half of all INSECTILE wish lists were added in the last month. I could not be more grateful!
If you're an indie dev or any kind of creative - do not be discouraged!
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 🐝
Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!
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! 💥
Robo Frenzy by @yytgames
is a sandbox boss-battling game where you slay bosses and create them. Defeat massive robos, customize them, and unleash the ultimate boss for the world to fight!

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!
Long-time fans will remember this tricky Insectile - I've circled back around to make her path finding even smarter!
I think it'll be a super fun break in exploration to avoid some flying stingers! 🐝
The Last Starship is a 2D space construction game where you design & upgrade your starship.
After 3 years of early access, the game will launch on February 3, 2026! Congrats to the team!

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!
