Crystal Catacombs is an upcoming 2-d adventure game by Maxwell Jensen with a trailer here: [link]
I've been given the extremely fun task of interpreting sprites (with flexible creative freedom!) into official "game manual" style art! There's more on the development blog at Levels or Lives [link]
None in particular, but perhaps mantis or katydid-like if I think about it. It's similar to the "sidehoppers" in Metroid, which this game is a homage to!
Is this inspired by the Sidehoppers from Metroid? It looks like a fun caricature of a grasshopper, like when people think of them they think of their hopping so we get giant legs and such.
What insect is it based off of?
A grass hopper, cricket, or locust, maybe?
