Metal Undergrowth

I got stuck behind a pipe and couldn't get out

damn, i love the ps1 style you have going with your recent games. any tutorials or guides out there that inspired you?

amazing quality game. great experience, thanks

Love your games Ken, keep them up pls!! :) <3

This looks like a blast! Reminds me a lot of another Indie game I really love called "white knuckle" the similarity's between the "Pipeworks waste heap rooms" and this game are uncanny. the game is awesome and crispy. love it

Masterpiece

this was a lot of fun to play !! thanks so much kenforest :))

Really good vibes and pacing! Loved the aesthetic

Love the aesthetic and the gameplay! The concept could be extended to other areas or rooms until you find a final exit (such as retrieving plants from underwater) and mechanics (using oxygen bottles, faster swimming), etc. Great gem!

It’s mind-boggling that it was made in just 72 hours.

lovely game wish there was just more to the game i loved the style w the pixels its FIRE

Can't download it, says "no compatible downloads were found"

This appears from the .zip contents to be Windows-only.  It'd be nice to be warned ahead of time so I can avoid downloading something I can't run.  (It'd be even nicer to have a Linux build, but absent that I'd at least like to know when it's not worth bothering to download.)

very cool, tho i expected more "scary" in there

Really fun and amazing looking game! I think the short length really helped with the game play too.

I really love the vibe and looking of this game

TODO ESO PARA QUE SE MUERA AL FINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

5/5

THIS IS A NEAT GAME, LOVE SEEING INSECT BASED GAMES <3

21:38 BABY jolly good game

I loved play this game, it took for me 32 min!

woah this looks pretty cool. Reminds me of White Knuckle, specifically the Pipeworks region.

This was a great game! Very easy and fun!

The graphics fit the game perfectly, the creativity was nice, and the gameplay was simplistic yet hooking. My gameplay was very peaceful, I got all the necessary bugs (I didn't get ALL the creatures, I wasn't planning too, but maybe sometime), and I had fun planning and picturing. And even the enemies (those vaccum flies) were very cute and I liked them.

I do have some issues though:

Firstly, the graphics kinda warbled around? I don't know if it's intentional, but sometimes some polygons look bigger than others and the textures don't line up at certain angles. It did create an interesting look though.

Secondly, a lack of a tutorial confused me. It was clear to take creatures and dump them into the pipe, but when I first played, I didn't know it was mandatory to get upgrades (Like the jump boost that you needed to get the flying creatures). If it was communicated on what the player needs, I think the first-time experience would have gone on much more smoothly.

Finally, I think the game lacked replayability. Being thrown into the same environment with the same requirements got boring over time. If a different gameplay lead to a different environment every time, with new creatures or different needs, I think it would've spiced the game a lot more and made it more refreshing to replay it.

Overall, I loved the game despite some confusion, and I think you did a very great job for a game made in such a short time. I would like some updates though!

Made a video

oh man, this is one of those perfect lil' games: the parts fit together so well, that i wouldn't want to see any change made to it !! it's just such a sweet slice of game, immaculate vibes with imagination and crisp sound design, beautiful graphics and fun gameplay. love love love this.

Very cool looking and satisfying to hunt bugs, their mechanical hybrid designs were cool. I really enjoyed the overgrown environment and how peaceful it felt, yet the structure was still sort of haunting; it made me wonder what was beyond, though i suppose It will remain a mystery...

As for some feedback, I felt like a way to modulate the jump height would've been a nice addition, but it's also fine as is.

Had a great time, very good work.

I love that your games can be so whimsical! I went in expecting horror and jumpscares because of all the other games I've been playing recently, and came out with a sense of peace and ease! Awesome job!

Fun game, i enjoy.

Hi, just potentially ran into a bug. I was in the upgrade screen attempting to select an upgrade when one of the vacuum guys came over to eat my bugs and pushed me away from the screen. It returned me to player control mode without me hitting right click or escape, and I was unable to interact with the screen anymore. I ended up just restarting the game, and I was so close to the end too ;^;

I looked through the other comments and see one other person had the same issue, so it must not be very common that the vacuum bugs eat at the same time the players use the terminal, lol

Very cool game though! The gameplay was simple, but satisfying, it sated my urge to scramble around for bugs, and the art is fantastic!

is this a virus?

Thank you for making this amaizing game!!!

It was short, but fulfilling. I could see how this game is scary for someone with Entomophobia.

Completed in 16m 48s.

the graphics were so good, I'm not even telling the gameplay,
