A nice and short knowledge-based puzzle game! I managed to solve the first stage for now; the second area seems to be a lot trickier. If you enjoy puzzle games give this little gem a go.
Sure you can imagine him happy but can you imagine him as just a lil guy?
Really good game! It's short but very dense. This game is all about discovering new movement techniques that let you make the most of your short 60 second lifespan.
beautiful
A short and sweet game that relies 100% on player knowledge and skill while still allowing everyone to enjoy it. Well worth the money.
Yes, yes, do it, yes, do it now. So fun. So cute. So great. I love this little bug.
hard to say too much about the game without giving it all away, but the characters are so adorable and the game plays perfect, allowing for experimentation with the modes beyond the first climb.
Very good bite-sized puzzle game that deserves more attention!
Have played 20 minutes and of how much I have enjoyed the game I would rate it 20 / 10. You will experience multiple 'oh wait what?!' moments in the first 120 seconds of your time playing it.
Rolar bosta nunca foi tão divertido! Esse jogo faz você repensar as maneiras de carregar a merda a todo o momento, uma forma mais criativa do que a outra... isso poderia até ser uma ótima analogia a vida, mas só estamos falando de um inseto e sua grande bola de coco mesmo...
