Nice art. Are the light things supposed to do something? I can't get up the first shaft.

Fun game! Reminds me of my first jam game. Love the snakes. Keep up the good work!

Nice game! Managed to survive for 5 minutes. The snakes felt way stronger than the other two options. Good job overall

Yea. The snakes are deffinitely OP. If i ll publish a second version, there will be some ballancing in favor of the spider and stag beetle fans.

Nice art, nice music (really got into my head), i could have wished for a life bar somewhere, but this is still a very cute game !

Bonus points for the pun name :D

Thanks for all the positive feedback. The health bar was a feature I wanted to include aswell as some kind of hit feedback but I ran out of time.

No idea what the spiders and beetles did, but snakes definitely carried my run. Got to around 400 seconds. The difficulty could ramp up faster as the first 300 secs I felt like there was no danger at all. Nice entry.

@samuli The beetles can push enemies away and the spider atteach to enemies and deal damage. But the snakes are definitely the superior option. The ballancing is a bit off.

I think it was quite a challenge to create an AI for bugs, and you did good job.

Snakes definitely felt like the best option to go overall, but the bones of a bullet heaven survival game are definitely there. Good funky music too!

Cool game - I really liked the hand-drawn style (especially the pumpkin head). Snakes are OP but I enjoyed having an army of spiders following me around. Nice work!
