The scrolling background looks very nice! The bugs look okay and pop out well from the background, but could maybe look a little "smoother". I like that the coins have a little bug drawn into them. The hazards could look a bit more menacing though, maybe have a red background instead of white or something, they kinda look like collectibles to me. The butterflies look good, but could pop out a bit more.
The music fits well with the aesthetics. Found (an unintended) bug though - if you die and restart, the old music keeps playing while a new one starts. The sound effects do a good job communicating the function of the things you bump into (coins sound like coins, hazards sound like "failures", butterflies sound like something extra good).
I thought the game would have three characters running on assembly lines or something like that, so the bug theme was unexpected. Overall, nice job improving on the base game!
Some of the stuff you mention was limited by the base game, especially the music issue, but I will keep your notes on the hazards and butterflies in mind. Thanks for the feedback!
