This is great! I really like this silly little game.

I also hope they improve the combat down the road, they said they will tweak it later. It is important to have a robust combat system. Especially with all the various A.I insects with each their own behaviours and patterns.

This game is great and full of potential. Keep it up guys!

weather ??? those rain drops fuuuui

Yes it will be intense lol

Haha yeah, it will be awesome and I have a feeling it will look great too.
