One thing I think contributing to KM feeling bigger is everything else in the scene (at least in this comparison)

The FX and props help give the scene a sense of greater scale your shot is missing.

I enjoyed it, but I was also like 19 when I played it, so my taste was dubious.

๐Ÿชฒ Welcome to the swarm.

@samuraipunk.bsky.social's Killbug is what happens when you mix @ultrakill-game.bsky.social's speed with Devil Daggersโ€™ dread - and then throw in bugs. Hundreds of them.

Quick reshare for the Monday crowd

Re: @frostygamesfest.com, looking to get an indication from devs with key news (game announcement, surprise release, or a first demo launch) that would be aligned to a DECEMBER timeframe.

If you can pls DM me, that would be very helpful! TY!
