Project Status

Project is: completed for GameJam.

Will work on future updates.

Roadmap

To do:

• Add background to Main Menu.
• Add a 'Win-game' condition after crossing the 12th level door.
• Complete the implementation of the 3rd playable bug [Morris the Mantis]
• Level design. Variations on the paths the player can take.

Room for improvement:

• Animations on health and collectible pickups.
• Adding variations to the bg music.
• Improving on the placeholder assets in the dungeon levels.

FAQ

Files are missing after opening the .zip file with WinRar.

Use 7zip to open/extract the archive.

I cannot seem to pause the game by pressing Esc.

The pause script is 'bugged' in some of the levels. Die to the mobs and press 'R' to restart, or Alt+F4.

I cannot seem to get stuck inside the hidden levels.

The trigger collider gets messed up sometimes for moving up and down the grasshopper-specific hidden levels. Move back a few tiles, then return to that position and press the Q button.
