I think it would benefit from some additional upgrades that you can purchase as I had far too much money left over at the end. Maybe add some upgrades that allow you to carry more bugs at a time, or one that highlights an area that will give you an increased chance of finding a bug you haven't caught yet? There's a solid little game in there somewhere and for a prototype made in a weekend it has a lot of potential. I hope you had a lot of fun making this.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1088131,"author_name":"Arscene","author_uid":"arscene","epoch":1728373675,"text":"Congrats on your entry.
