Insect Combat (14-07-2011) (VB Game)

Insect Combat is an attempt to create a fighting game, only using insects instead of people.

Release notes:

I found someone who is willing to make some 3D sprites for my game, but unfortunately, he will not be able to do them until September. So until then, all I can do on this is just fine-tune what I have. In today’s version, I made the title screen and fighter select screens 3D.
