letting a blue beetle fly away will reduce your life

red beetles will chase you around and stun you if they make contact

golden beetles are worth more points but only spawn once per round

every 2 rounds an item spawns below the mango tree which can be collected with the bug net. not using it for 2 rounds will upgrade it to a new item

the final bug of the round will fly away a bit faster than the rest

the game ends after round 25

EXTRA INFO:

this game was made in (about) a week as a personal challenge/for fun. i took two break days because i was getting tired of it, but i can at least say the total was seven days. im pretty happy with it for what it is. the main character is actually from an older game that i never released called crazy box, where they starred as the most common enemy type. for some reason ive always been attached to their design so im glad i got to use it again here
