Update 1.3.1 - Watercolor Falls


The big feature of this update is the overhauled background of Act 3. This update also addresses concerns of motion sickness, fixes a few bugs, and overall ties the game closer to its upcoming Nintendo Switch counterpart.

Visuals

  • The intro now features a “photosensitivity warning”.

  • Act 3 has received a significant amount of polish. The new backgrounds allow the viewer’s eyes more space to rest and are more compositionally interesting.

  • The Intermission and all other instances of Act 3 background elements have received similar polish.

Controls

  • Players must now press the Up Button to interact with NPCs.

  • In textboxes, the star icon has been changed to an A Button icon. This change can only be seen when using a gamepad.

  • Plugging in a new gamepad will now register during active gameplay.

Misc.

  • The Bellion’s attack will no longer staircase upwards when jumping.

  • The Hshu Hshu enemies now burst quicker when hitting a wall or a screen boundary.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the Bellion would shift forward upon being possessed.

  • Fixed a bug where the Bellion would be unable to pick up bells with ribbons.

  • Fixed a bug where the Zoontites would flip back and forth rapidly.

  • Fixed a bug where the Sheris would begin moving forward in air.

  • Fixed a discolored screen transition in Act 8, Scene 4.

  • Fixed a bug where stars would spawn twice in Act 8.

  • Fixed a bug where the Hshu Hshu’s head would detach.

  • Fixed a visual error where you could see the edge of an offscreen sprite in Act 12, Scene 2.

Please let me know if you find any further bugs! Enjoy!

Some fast-paced platforming on a snowy, but sweet, summit!

Don't forget that Belle Boomerang is 50% off right now!

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!

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! 💥

Introducing...

The Assassin Caterpillars!🐛

"But they're so cute I want to pet them..." DON'T! Touching their needles does 1 damage! Ouch!

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!

What's an Insectile? 🐛

Insectile is a clever, turn-based RPG about puzzlingly shaped bugs! ...And now it has a Devlog!

If you enjoyed the charm of Belle Boomerang, I know you are going to love Insectile, So, give it a follow! https://gamejolt.com/games/insectile/894155

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 🐝

It's been a while, but here's another "Before and After"! This time, it's for The Phantom's Library! How do you feel about the changes made? Also, don't forget that Belle Boomerang is 50% off for just a couple more days!

Update 1.4.0 - Difficulty Swapping!

If things get tough, there's no need to start from the beginning!

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! 🐝
