Bug Eater: What happens to the project after the jam?


INTRODUCTION

First of, I want to thank everyone that took their time to play/test the game. As we all know Bug Eater was made under 72hrs for the 79th Mini Jam with 'frogs' as it's theme. The game was originally supposed to be a one-off browser game but it's popularity among peers pushed us to make a restricted port to android and it was a hit! After the game jam, Bug Eater would be in active development for mobile devices. Whether or not we will update the web/desktop version to keep up with it's mobile counterpart is still up for debate. With all these out of the way here are a few things to expect from the mobile version:

I) A BRAND NEW INTERFACE : We might not have received any complaints about the user interface and/or user experience, but we feel like we can do a better job to make the game more appealing to the eyes.

II) A HIGH-SCORE SYSTEM : Remember that one time you got 500 points? Well, your device doesn't...and we think it would be a great addition if it did (see what I did there?)

III) POWER-UPS/NEW CROAKING ABILITIES : Robert the frog has been doing some voice lessons and he is coming back with brand new croaking abilities! The bugs won't know what hit them!

IV) SKINS: No one knows how Robert gets his skins or why he keep skins at all! Just get ready to see Robert in his true colours.

V) MORE TYPE OF BUGS? : No, we don't mean it's going to be a buggy game, we mean that there would be a great variety of bugs Robert would be grateful to eat.

VI) A CROAKING-BAR SYSTEM: Remember those days when Robert could only croak 5 times before meeting his inevitable end? Are we still in those times? Man, that's crazy! Fear not Robert, very soon you can Croak infinitely before meeting your inevitable end (as long as the bar is full.)

VII) NEW LEVELS/SCENERY: (Q): Bug Eater is going to have levels and boss fights?! How the 'h' will they pull it off? (A): I guess you just have to wait to find out, also we said New levels/Scenery, where and when did we mention anything about boss fights?

VIII) FIREFLIES! : Shiny! I bet you could trade this in to get stuff in the game.

Q & A 

Q : Is this supposed to be Bug Eater2?

A : Nope, still Bug Eater!

Q : When should we expect a release or soft launch?

A : <Error 404: Specific answer not found!> We are targeting to do a soft launch in the Google PlayStore before the second week of July within a week after launching in the PlayStore, we will ship to the Apple Appstore. This is subject to change and we will keep you updated through the development process.
