A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

You control a little bug on its way home. Unfortunately the world is dangerous. Traps are everywhere. When the little bug falls into a trap a precious life is lost. But the little bug is not helpless. It has a sixth sense telling him how many traps are in his surrounding. But it does not know where the traps are located. Logic will help you to navigate the bug to the exit. Use as less steps as possible to get as much points as possible.

Controls:

  • ARROW keys for walking
  • SPACE to place a danger sign
  • ESC to escape.

Hello, I downloaded and played the game. This puzzle game is high-quality and interesting. The gameplay is challenging. Sure. The graphics are really nice. I like the graphics. May I ask a question? How many levels are in the game?

By the way, Raylib looks like a very nice tool and SmallBASIC looks versatile. I look forward to new games from you. Yeah.

Thank you. The game has 20 levels. You can create your own levels using the editor and share them with your friends.

Raylib is a really nice library making 2D and 3D game development easy. I like it a lot.

Hi!

You can create your own levels using the editor <--- It is a very good tool.

Raylib is a really nice library making 2D and 3D game development easy.  <--- I see. So good! I am quite curious. I have one more question. May SmallBASIC have a webpage  on Itch in the future? The official website of SmallBASIC is so nice: https://smallbasic.github.io/. The official website is really nice because it provides detailed information of SmallBASIC, On the other hand, Itch is a social media where youths and teenagers like to visit. If an itch webpage is created for SmallBASIC, many young visitors may become users of SmallBASIC after visiting the Itch webpage of SmallBASIC. Yeah. In fact, creating an Itch webpage of SmallBASC by you is convincing because you made two excellent SmallBASIC games. Anyway, I am only curious.

I think it is a good idea to have an itch.io website for SmallBASIC. Maybe more people will get aware of SmallBASIC.

Hello! Thanks for considering this idea. In my opinion, cool and colorful Itch page can easily make good first impressions on visitors. Sure.

Good luck!
