Isopod is a completely unique ball balance game with a twist: You control a roly poly pill bug, moving through real natural environments, battling real insect predators to progress through the game. Experience 24 amazingly weird insect critters from across the globe, each using its own authentic natural defense and attack behaviors. Good at balance games? This will be your greatest challenge. Scared of spiders? You might freak out! GAMEPLAY TIPS: Env1: Beetles will come to you if you can stay in one general area. Bumping the blue butterfly means you can go anywhere quickly without a problem but make sure you are not behind an ant line when the power runs out. Env 2: Follow the yellow butterfly as much as possible, bump whenever you get a chance and free as many gladiators as you can in your enlarged and invulnerable state. Env 3: Learning to bump twice is easy enough, but when multiple katydids are on screen a good strategy is to bump each one once, and then come back and bump again later, if you can move fast enough. Env 4: When the millipede stops, get far away...the cyanide gas has an extended reach. Also, wait until a group of 8-10 fireflies appears all at once before bumping the female glowworm power up, that way you can free a bunch at once.
