Description
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]

Very cool!
What insect is it based off of?
A grass hopper, cricket, or locust, maybe?

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.

wow, it looks fantastic. Also it does look like it was rather fun to interpret such simple sprites into game manual type pics

Omg, this game looks incredible. Your interpretations of the low-res sprites are really awesome, too!

This looks like something from Metroid. I'm a big ol' Metroid fanboy, so I approve heartily!
