Just a few of the games that have influenced Bug Squashers

Finally, a new update about Bug Squashers!!! You’ll start seeing weekly updates starting next week 😍

Looks like @transcinderella.com is digging into the story of Bug Squashers…

Impossibly Creative Games @impossiblycr8v.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

What's this? A possible redesign of Iggy?

Impossibly Creative Games @impossiblycr8v.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Hey, y’all! I know it’s been WAY too long since we’ve said much about the game. *gestures at the world* A LOT has been going on, but we’ll be launching a revamped website this week, along with a regular update schedule and roadmap. Thank you for your patience & support 🥰

031

Impossibly Creative Games @impossiblycr8v.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

The first demo for Bug Squashers is now available on The Retro Verse and @itch.io!!! More info: bugsquashersgame.com/bug-squasher...

That last pesky crash bug has been squashed 😏 Alexis is hard at work prepping the first demo now, launching in the next few days on @itch.io and theretroverse.com!

Apologies for the lack of daily updates. We’re still working, but hurricane fatigue is very real. A lot has happened behind the scenes, but we should have a new dev log on Monday going into all the things we’ve updated ☺️

Impossibly Creative Games @impossiblycr8v.bsky.social · 15/10/2024

Add DKC to the list of games #bugSquashers is inspired by. We promise it won’t be as hard though. We’re not cruel 🤣 #indieGameDev

Impossibly Creative Games @impossiblycr8v.bsky.social · 02/10/2024

Yesterday, we added the bugs. Today, we added the ability to squash them. As an added bonus, we've improved the Dash mechanic's animations to include a trailing ghost that disappears. #gameDev #dailyDevlog

030

Impossibly Creative Games @impossiblycr8v.bsky.social · 30/09/2024

Today we've implemented a new dash mechanic to the game, complete with sound effects, a charge system, and a pickup that speeds up the recharge process. #gameDev #dailyDevlog

021

Impossibly Creative Games @impossiblycr8v.bsky.social · 29/09/2024

What kind of platforming game would we be without jumps?Good thing we finished the jump code today 😜 We've got regular jumps, double jumps, and wall jumps! Plus, you can use them all from the...jump! Follow the Bug Squashers Daily Devlog series on YouTube - tinyurl.com/dailydevlogs #gameDev

Hurricane prep and watching the storm stressfully ate up dev time the last couple of days, but we’ll have more Bug Squashers updates starting tomorrow! Thankfully, we were largely ignored by the storm. The team nearly lost everything in 2022 with Ian, so these are always nervy times for us.

020

Impossibly Creative Games @impossiblycr8v.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

Today we kick off new Daily Updates series for Bug Squashers, coming in early 2025 to the NES! In our first update, we look at our animation tests for the Idle, Walking, and Jumping animations. For more on Bug Squashers, check out our YouTube channel for full devlogs, soundtrack previews, and more!

Impossibly Creative Games @impossiblycr8v.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

As promised, a new devlog! Here's the latest update on the #gameDev of Bug Squashers for the NES, including a planned demo release date!

Dev log filmed! Will be up later tonight, maybe tomorrow depending on how long editing takes

So...yeah. This didn't exactly work well with her work schedule and Alexis had to bail pretty fast for a variety of reasons. On the bright side, we're learning a TON about Godot through an online course, and will soon be back to work on Bug Squashers (video on that very soon).

Impossibly Creative Games @impossiblycr8v.bsky.social · 09/09/2024

Brackey’s Game Jam Updates 🧵- Day 1 It’s been a slow day. Alexis has been working through the Brackey’s Godot tutorial, but due to a very poorly timed illness, she’s low on energy. Still, she has a player moving, jumping, and animating already, so we have SOME progress!

Impossibly Creative Games @impossiblycr8v.bsky.social · 08/09/2024

Starting our first Game Jam today! We’ve never done one of these, and we don’t know a thing about Godot, but we wanted a game dev challenge. Build a game in a week? Why not?

No #screenshotSaturday today 🤦🏼‍♀️ Too busy dealing with some technical issues and taking some needed rest ahead of the Brackeys Game Jam starting tomorrow.

Look what was just delivered by UPS! Bug Squashers isn’t even close to done yet, but holding the physical cartridge for the first time was an incredibly surreal and magical feeling. #gamedev

Are you ready to encounter the Resource Leech? I’m not sure if Iggy is 😳 And this is just the first boss. What else are we up to? 🤔 #gameDev #gameDesign #conceptArt

For #screenshotSaturday this week, we present…our actual game box and cartridge! As we plan on an eventual physical release, we figured we’d do it with style. This is just a test run, but we’re so excited about how it turned out 😍 For now, this cart will be our flash cart for hardware tests.

Impossibly Creative Games @impossiblycr8v.bsky.social · 30/08/2024

Tomorrow’s Screenshot Saturday won’t be a screenshot, but I promise it’s cooler 😉

Bug Squashers’ first boss is starting to take shape. How’s Iggy going to squash a bug this big?! 😳 #gameDev #gameDesign

Inspiration comes from everywhere, including our kids. When one of your kids suggests a boss or enemy idea, you listen. Sometimes it’s just what you need 🥰 #gamedev #gamedesign

We have to do #screenshotSaturday a little differently this week since we're still working with a demo level. Instead, you get a box art reveal! #screenshotSaturday #gameDev

🎶 The first full track from Bug Squashers is now available! 🎶 Matias Hein absolutely killed it with our main theme 😍 #gameDev

It's our first official #screenshotSaturday! This is just a movement demo level, but it's a start :)

Hey, BlueSky! @transcinderella.com thought we should probably set up an account here since it’s where all the best #gameDev people hang out 😉 That and she didn’t want her main main account to be all promo for our games 🤷🏼‍♀️ We just officially announced our first game, Bug Squashers for the NES!
