Isopod: A Webbed Spin-off

I want to preface this by saying this game is genuinely very fun if you ignore the writing. You run and roll around as a cute little pillbug, eat tasty leaves, and bash everything you see. It's very Sonic-esque in the best ways. That being said, OH MY GOD THE WRITING. What should have been a simple little game about a group of bugs fighting a colony of invasive fire ants instead becomes the most blatant, unironic, no-nuance piece of communist propaganda I have ever seen. Within the first FIVE MINUTES of gameplay, the game spares no expense bashing anti-capitalist drivel over your head as much as it can, to ensure absolutely NOBODY misses the psuedo-intellectual quirkchungus political messaging that "capitalism bad, communism good". I don't even disagree with the anti-capitalist message, but it's done so horrifically poorly that it genuinely hurts to read. It's okay for a game to have political undertones or a message to get across, but the game genuinely cannibalizes itself at EVERY GIVEN OPPORTUNITY just to scream at you "HEY, DID YOU KNOW CAPITALISM IS EVIL??? THESE FIRE ANTS ARE EVIL CAPITALISTS. THEY'RE EVIL BECAUSE THEY'RE CAPITALISTS. CAPITIALISM IS EVIL." Even with that ele…

This is a pretty fun little game! The physics are satisfying once you get used to them, the level design is pretty good, and getting all the achievements was fun. I love all of the different costumes you can get for your isopod character, really fun to play as some of my favourite morphs. If you like bugs and/or platformers, this is worth checking out.

Another great game from Sbug. I really enjoy the humour they use to tell the stories through their games and the way player movement is handled always feels good and makes for an enjoyable experience. Looking forward to what comes next from these developers.

This game is me in every aspect. Every single one. Capitalism will die in the end, love and bugs are forever. }(:]]]]])

Best nature/bug/comedy/anti-capitalism/Spider-Man web-slinging/physics platformer I've ever played.

Very charming game! Sweet story and lovable characters! A little buggy (pun intended) and runs pretty poorly. I recommend turning down the depth of field and motion blur, and changing it to Medium settings! Also, you cannot move the map with the controller. I got lost after the second boss for about an hour. Maybe some kind of fast-travel system would be useful. Like having a bug fly you off screen and where you need to go!
