Insects and arthropods all around the globe are disappearing. Whether caused by pesticides, climate change, or invasive species, humans are the direct cause of their dwindling numbers, so itโ€™s up to us to reverse this downward trend.

Bugs are our friends, so itโ€™s time to treat them as such! Raise and care for your own InsectaPet companion. Keep its habitat fresh and lively, feed it yummy fruits and veggies, and keep your little larva entertained as it grows into a beautiful, healthy creature. Once an adult, you can release your friend back into the wild where it belongs and free up space for the next little bugling that needs help.

KEEP IN MIND: Timers have been x2 speed for the Game Jam judging. After the voting period, I will return timers to normal speed :)

Run into a bug? (No not that type of bug) Let me know in the comments or fill out THIS FORM.

NOTE: This game is intended to be downloaded and played as a desktop pet. However, due to the Game-Like Jam rules, I have created a snapshot version to be played in embedded mode for the judging.  Should you want the full game/app, the .exe download will be available AFTER the voting period.

MOVE MODE:  If you are playing the downloaded version, you can customize the window location by clicking and holding down on the mini window widget or the move button on the bottom left of the full habitat screen. The window will have a red outline when you are in "move mode".

Such wonderful realism. You made this happen and it turned out so good! I love my little stick bug.

Lovely little bug sim game! I love it already.

Hey, I haven't rated this one yet cause I can't see the full game. Could you add a fullscreen button to the project? (You can do this from your game's itch page settings in the Frame options category)
