Business Beetles

Super cute game! Absolutely LOVE the art style and the little sound effects! Gameplay is pretty simple, but overall effective. Love the concept too. Great work!

I liked the art, the beetles were so cute. I wish the game was more interactive. But the sound effects and concept were very fun.

Hypercapitalism ruined a utopian society of beetles right in front of my eyes. 11/10

Capitalism in a nutshell. Love every bit of the design! I wish I could zoom in to see my little workers get me some money. I was surprised that my guards would die at the first confrontation :( We need better self-defence training for them ASAP.

Very cute, fun design and interesting to try and balance. I'd like to see detail pages on what the hires do, I dont understand the Cars at all. And some kinda "debt warning" for heavy mafia days would be good as right now there seems to be no warning from a 0 mafia to a 30+ mafia day.

such a cute game! really enjoyed the art style and i thought the sound effects were funny lolol. nicely done!

What a cute game... i miss in the day 8 :sob:

BUSINESS

SALES

RUN

I really enjoyed the gameplay and music! Good idea, great job!

Very cute art style and funny sound effects ! I love the character design and the whole ui design.

Cute game, love the art! The sound effects are also fun :)

I like this bug so much c:

Wonderful game, I'm so glad I found it! The art was great, the music was fitting, it's great that you had so many music tracks, the gangster track was my favourite.

Also, this is a surprising description of my day job, although I did end up being fired here so I don't know what that says about me!

PS: I love how all the workers come in at night to rest, it warms my heart

Great art and audio (yes, business!). The time skip button is a greatly apprechiated feature in a game of this type. Overall fun time!

So cure! I'm still not quite sure what I was doing, kinda randomly hiring new bugs each day :sweat_smile: Speaking of bugs, the game crashed somewhere around day 8 randomly when fast forwarding. Didn't think to get more details on that, sorry!

I went bankrupt on the day 6 after I hired 30 beetles in one day 💀 Well I guess beetle business isn't my strength. On the 2nd try I survived a bit longer though.

After about two weeks my progression was stuck a bit like so:
1. day N: I get lots of money for trading.
2. day N + 1: I lost almost all of it because of griefing (doesn't matter how much protection I have, defenders just sometimes run after single target while other bad guys ruining my deals!!!).
3. day N + 2: same as N.

And after unfortunate attack I couldn't recover. Eventually, I got to the income limit? Beecause my worker beetles were waiting in queues trying to make a deal. Or this is because of high expences.

That's a pity I can't fire someone, such unrealistic for a capitalism game! /joking
Music is great, really liked it!!

Well done team!

Business. Sales! :D

Wonderful entry. Really polished visuals, fun atmosphere and relatively easy to understand gameplay :) Props to the musician, too!

I love the music!

haha i love the ball of cash (so i guess its Dung beetle that we play)^^
Very charming game ! Lovely art and audio !
just one note, We need a job summary when we have to give work to new guy, because I don't always remember my staff. Else it a great game ! :)

Struggled a bit at first because I kept losing guards to the mafia. Changed my strategy to trying to get as much money and as many new recruits as possible to be able to hire some new guards every second day when I knew the mafia would show up again.

I might have hired too many people

oops haha

Art and music are great and as much as I dreaded being visited by the mafia again, I really liked their theme song :)

_________
Also nice song for the credits

I see what you did there lol, great idea!

Very good game! Good sounds and good gameplay, I really liked the graphics, one thing to point out is that maybe the mobs are too strong, it got to a point in the gameplay where no matter how many guards I had I still suffered damage. Overall, good job!
