New Bug Alert! 🦋⚠️
I always appreciated that games like Pokémon gave both cute and cool options to its creature choices (Bulbasaur vs. Charmander), so I wanted to offer a scarier alternative to my game's cutesy caterpillars and snails!
More on the way!
Next up
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!
I am amazed that with all of the Peach pixel art I've seen that nobody has done a Zelda sprite yet. Anyways, here's my resprite of princess Zelda!
I'm working on cutscene features like smooth camera movements. Enjoy a snippet of this prototype tutorial!
These might be my new favorite Insectiles in the game, movement-wise.
Pop the flowers off their back to open them up for capture!
Joltober is here! Today's prompt is Spider! Each day in October, you’ll get a new prompt and a new quest at 12 pm Eastern! Go to your quest log to find the quest! It'll expire tomorrow at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET.
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'm on Bluesky now! If that's your thing and you want to help me support Insectile, you can find me at: @narwhalnut .bsky.social or, use the link on my page :)
