Buggy System
Kix!
Jingles!
Help Kix and Jingles, the Christmas beetles, finish their holiday decorations by stealing from the human world!
Bring the 4 decorations back to the beetle home to win. Jingles is stronger and is slowed down much less by carrying items!
Team:
Programming: Fryro, FluffyCastle, FourIsTheNumber
All Art: Lykidae
Controls:
-WASD to move
-Space to pause
-Hold left click to draw a line for your selected beetle to attempt to follow. WASD will cancel any line movement you have queued, in case you get stuck. You can draw a path for one beetle and then swap to the other while it is moving!
-Swap between Kix and Jingles with 'Q'
-Use 'E' to pick up objects, travel through holes, rescue fallen beetles, and activate distractions as Kix
Tips:
-Anything you can interact with glows! A GREEN glow means a goal object to be brought back to the nest. A RED glow means you are in range to interact. All other interactables glow BLUE!
-The cat runs back to its bed in fear as soon as it hears a distraction! The human will go to the source of the noise and investigate.
-Not all distractions are equal! Some (like the car alarm) are much louder and cover more area.
-If the cat catches you, you will be flipped over and unable to move. If a human catches you, you will be brought to the terrarium on the second floor (even if you were already flipped by the cat)
-If one beetle is caught, the other can rescue it with 'E'. Wait for the interaction to finish before you move again! If both get caught, you lose.
-Once you've retrieved all 4 items, make sure both Kix and Jingles have returned to the nest to win!

What an adorable game, fitting right on theme with "Better Together!" Adorable, well-made, with no glaring bugs other than our cute characters, I have no critiques or complaints other than I wish maybe there was a system to keep track of the items we needed. I do love the art, but I'm not sure if these were assets or a person on the team. With no credits to anyone except a website for the artist, this is a little unclear to me. If it is an artist on the team, well done. If not, then congratulations on fun gameplay at least.
Thank you!! All of the art was done by our friend Lykidae during the jam :)
The team credits are in the main menu and I forgot to add them to the actual game page, it's been fixed! Incompetech is credited for background music.
