Narwhalnut 🦋 Wishlist Insectile!

Wow! These are all great suggestions! I've never even heard of Harvestmen, but they're so distinctly shaped - that's perfect for the game!
Thank you so much! 🐛

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! 🐝

Aw, thank you so much!

Yeah! I needed more stinging bugs and its shape seemed perfect.

Yay! Thank you! 🦂

They are so pretty! 💜

I know scorpions aren't *quite* insects, but I am willing to make an exception for a super interesting shape. You also need a good mischievous-looking guy in a creature collector sometimes.

What other kinds of bugs should I add?

Wait 🙌
New BUG LOVER bundle just dropped on Steam 💌🐞🐝🪲💌

Uh, of course!?! I would be honored! : )

No way! 🐝🐝

Noted! That could be cool, I wonder what kind of rooms I could create with that.

(Also, thank you ; ) It's been super fun making all this progress!)

Thank you so much! 🐌

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 🐝

I know this is quite different from my normal posts - let me know what you thought about it!

Anyways, be safe and happy Trick-or-Treating! After filling up on candy, why not give the INSECTILE demo a try on Steam?!? [6/6]

HOWEVER, I think it clashed really poorly with the puzzle-focused battle design (which is much more fun in short bursts, not long battles).

Not to mention it made the mental math much harder. Maybe I’m a dork, but I like adding up my attacks in my head : ) [5/6]

It also seriously helps now that SCARE doubles damage. SCARE used to raise damage by a much smaller amount (~25%) that stacked with each usage. In theory this sounds awesome because stacking it many times means high high HIGH damage! [4/6]

In the prototype, SCARE only halved defense. It NEVER dealt damage. It was NOT fun : ( It felt like you were “wasting” turns to place SCARE tiles when you could’ve just damaged twice in that time. [3/6]

One of the single best decisions I made with INSECTILE was to make SCARE deal damage after an enemy is already SCARED. This makes getting high combos easier and WAY more satisfying! [2/6]

It's Halloween! let's talk about SCARE. [1/6]

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!
