Restored my faith in humanity
Pretty much enjoyable and a bit funny action-detective game that will surely bring you some positive emotions. Nothing much to add... try it and enjoy it.
О, Insecticide Part 1... Это как если бы "Син Сити" сняли с тараканами вместо людей, а бюджет — на уровне "я сам сделал в гараже". Ты — Chrys Liszt, жучок-детектив в плаще, который стреляет в гигантских насекомых и сыплет шутками про "bug hunt". Город Troi — сплошной нуар, только вместо дождя — слизь, а вместо сигарет — "Crystal Coke" (не спрашивай). Бои — ок, но управление как будто на скользкой тарелке: прыгаешь, стреляешь, а потом падаешь в канализацию и думаешь "ну и хрень". Пазлы — милые, но короткие, как жизнь мухи. А партнёр Roachy? Этот жирный таракан с сигарой — лучший персонаж, он жрёт пончики и ворчит, пока ты спасаешь мир. Итог: 6/10. Потому что после финала (спойлер: "to be continued") я понял — настоящий insecticide нужен не жукам, а разработчикам, чтоб доделали Part 2.

Shame there will be no Insecticide Part 2, thus the mystery continue to be a mystery....(there is only a DS port, you can watch on Youtube)
I wish they finished porting this game from 3DS it is a really good action adventure game with strong platforming sections. I liked the detective parts, the noir setting, it's very original and I really wish it had the proper marketing to reach the people. It is an underrated gem. 3d prerendered cutscenes are absolutely great. It's cheap - come on you have nothing to lose. It's great 3.5 hrs of fun.
Yes, enjoyable.
This game runs smoothly on Linux. I'm suprised too.
this little game rules
Extremely rough third-person shooter/adventure game hybrid. The shooting is worse than the puzzles... Most of the time. It's only half of the original DS game and the second half is never gonna come out (you have to watch cutscenes on YouTube to finish the story). Goofy bug puns and a concerningly attractive protagonist isn't enough to save this game.
A game with a lot of charm and personality and a great art style, timeless (if it werent because is old and has compatibility issues with modern hardware and is just the 1st part... otherwise, this game would be just as timeless as Alice madness returns)
