About Little Bug

Get Nyah Home: Nyah is walking home from school when she's suddenly cast into an uncanny world where dangerous spirits linger restlessly in bottomless canyons and moonlit deserts. Play as Nyah and her spirit light in tandem, using their shared swinging mechanic to gain incredible momentum.

Gameplay Features
  • Coordinate 2 characters who share a physics-based swinging mechanic.
  • Discover hidden collectibles and piece together Nyah's backstory.
  • Offer your finds to Roadkill the cat to unlock bonus levels featuring unique gameplay challenges.
  • Generous checkpoints let you play at your own pace.

Simple Controls, Complex Gameplay: Nyah can walk on the ground and collect treasures while her light can fly in any direction - you control them both at the same time. Forming a telekinetic beam between them, you’ll create a powerful connection that can swing Nyah to new heights, destroy barriers, thwart spirits and light the way to secret locations. Your coordination with these two characters is key, as disembodied spirits can appear without warning and hurt Nyah or her light. You’ll learn their unique play style intuitively and quickly as fresh challenges emerge to test you in the wilderness. Discover Dozens of Unique Items: Collect dozens of unique treasures in Nyah's lunchbox that reveal memories from Nyah’s past and rearrange them however you like. Decide which items to keep with you on your journey and which to offer to the mysterious spirit cat Roadkill, who can unlock secret challenge levels with special items.
About Nyah: Nyah is a curious 8-year-old who loves exploring nature and studying life science. She shares treasures from her explorations with her teacher, Ms. Bisbee. Nyah lives with her single mom and baby sister, Isa, but Mom seems tired and different from how she used to be. Sometimes Nyah stays with her grandma who feeds Nyah's imagination with her quirky wisdom, but maybe grandma’s stories have more truth than Nyah ever could have believed.

[h2]I think it's important that there's some visible criticism of this game because it has some major flaws.[/h2] First let's talk about my unabashed praise: The sound design and visual design are both very good - you'll be able to gauge just from the store page if these will appeal to you. The controls are also incredibly tight and consequently controlling Nyah feels really good - there's a level of mastery you can achieve which totally validates the design choices of the game. [h2] Every other positive aspect of the game is modified by some quite glaring flaws.[/h2] [list] [*] The game is very short (<1 hour blind). This is suplemented by plentiful bonus levels which means in total you can get about 2 hours of unique content from the game. For the asking price this wouldn't be unreasonable, but: [*] The game suffers from massive padding - of the game's hour length you'll spend over 7 minutes holding a single direction with 0 risk of failure or in unskippable cutscenes. You are required to complete at least 2 playthroughs to access all the bonus content (it's locked behind collectables, and you must leave at least 6 behind on your first run) and multiple playthroughs are encour…

Short but charming platformer telling story of a little girl Nyah and her adventures while going back home from school. Also about her relationship with mother. Interesting mechanics - you can't make a jump but instead you're in control of two characters and traverse the world swinging on a beam of light as if it is a rope. Clever! But I wish it was more expanded and advanced. Maybe in the sequel?

An interesting little game, sort of a platformer except you can't jump, instead, you can bounce off helpful pillows and swing on light orbs, it's quirky and fun, the art is pretty cute too https://youtu.be/nPONa1pjNf8

Super cute game! Easy 100%. Simple, yet fun platformer. Lots to enjoy and I love a short cheap game that doesn't overstay it's welcome! Also, my friend Rob got this for me and that was super awesome! What an awesome find! Thanks friend!

Little Bug maintains a conscious understanding of what it is. At $9.99, it delivers an experience that is long enough to provide satisfaction, yet short enough so that its limited mechanics do not weigh down the experience it offers. For the price, this title provides what I expect from an indie game: a unique experience that is unlikely to be replicated elsewhere.

This game is a hidden gem that more people should play, it has a neat art style and the sound effects are well made and the main thing I like about the game is the orb mechanic which you don't really see in other games, the only annoying thing is that if your playing keyboard you can only use the arrow keys to control the orb, when using mouse would make it much better to control. Overall this game is amazing and everyone should play.
