About

(Inspired by the Famicase cartridge cover "Galaxy Garden" by Michael Schillingburg)

I knew I wanted to make something with a beetle grub eating fruit/planets, but unfortunately I didn't have a lot of time, and never quite settled on an idea for the gameplay. I had fun with mesh deformation and custom shaders, though, so it wasn't all bad!

And you can play it! It's like a grub simulator. You can crawl around! And eat fruit! ... And that's it. Hopefully I'll think of something to use it for in the future.

Check out the short devlog from the jam forum if you want.
