Why play it

Little Bug is an adventure platformer where you coordinate two playable characters who share a physics based swinging mechanic in real time. Nyah can walk and pick up items, while her spirit light can fly and explore dark areas.

Story and worldbuilding

Nyah is lost and the sun is quickly setting. A massive presence materializes in the darkness, its eyes barely visible through trembling branches. Nyah runs, terrified of what might have happened to her mom, but then she falls... she's woken by a light zipping through the air, and it beckons her, feeling strangely familiar, warming her mind - but the world around her has changed. Lost spirits roam the horizon while remains of the dead dance in dark canyons. Nyah finds the warmth of the light isn't just in her head - when she focuses on it, a wildly powerful beam connects them, but she has a whole lot to learn if she's ever going to find her mom in this strange land.

The colour palette and animation style in the trailer for Little Bug are what attracted me to reviewing this title. Did they keep me captivated throughout my time with this game? What else did it have to offer? Find out in my Rapid Review below.

While this game has a unique charm to it, it ultimately doesn’t feel completed and I hope that that’s the case. I did have fun piquing my brain for ways to solve some harder segments. The saddening part of the culmination with this game is that it somewhat feels empty without too much other than, gather treasures and move right.

A storybook with half the pages missing, Little Bug rushes towards an ending whilst attempting to leave everything in the dust, including its fantastic gameplay. Take your time and you'll find a shining core of fun, challenge, and excitement, failing to be extinguished by its lacking narrative.

Little Bug is a platform puzzle with unique mechanics that shows how simplicity doesn't equate to lack of challenges. Despite having annoying difficulty peaks, it's an interesting game that will put the player's control over the controls to the test, as it tells the most incredible adventure ever experienced on the way home from school.

Over a lifetime, growing and maturing isn't exactly an easy task, and Little Bug exemplifies this very well, with an introspective journey of unique gameplay. Thus, we can resort to an old expression and say that the title provides an experience of grown ups, even though it has little Nyah as its protagonist and has countless childhood touches in its plot.

Little Bug is a nice little indie game that could be so much more.

Possibly one of the more unusual titles I've played in quite some time, Little Bug mixes together sometimes-tricky platforming, some physics-based elements where you're slinging yourself around, and an unusual story involving a girl trying to track down the elusive cat spirit she encounters and calls Roadkill...
