I tried a lot of new things with this game: animation, sound design, pixel art. I loved making it, and I hope you will enjoy playing it.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Now go kill some bugs!

***Update 1.1.2021*** Thank you to everyone who has played the game so far. I have gotten some really great feedback and made a few changes since I released the game this morning.

*Added reinforcement machines earlier to make early game less random and introduce some choice.
​*Changed a few end of level tips to reflect game progression.
*Changed the name of the game from "Insect Apocolypse" to "Insect Apocalypse" (What an embarrassing mistake!)
*Changed Game Over Screen language to be more clear.
*Set a timer so the game automatically resets after the credit animation.
*Fixed a bug that turned music volume down to zero.
*Fixed a bug that didn't let you to press the button to progress to the next level.


I appreciate your feedback and hope that you continue to enjoy the game!

*Re-did menu overlay, adding a main menu button, a start again button, a resume button, and an exit button.
*Deleted volume control in menu overlay (it was just causing more headache than it was worth)
*Finally fixed the volume of the in game music. (I worked pretty hard on the music, so this bug was a huge bummer. Hopefully it's fixed for good now.)
*Eliminated end of level timer that kicked players back to main screen.
*Added new options to game over menu. Players can now decide if they want to start the game over, start the level over, or quit the game entirely.
*Fixed a bug that paused the game during the splash screen, not allowing players to play the game.
