Indeed. Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling, the Panamanian spiritual successor to Paper Mario turned cult classic, does have a sequel! Bug Fables: Aphid Festival was a masterpiece of a game released on April 1, 2021 on Moonsprout Games' Itch.io page.
Aphid Festival follows side character Tanjerin as he raises aphids by leveling them up and breeding them. Leveling up aphids happens through feeding them and pitting them against Tanjerin. Once you reach level 10 with an aphid, a task that takes a very long time might I add, you have made your aphid the prime specimen it could be and can breed it with another aphid to sire the next generation of aphid greatness. The gameplay loop, while simple, never gets repetitive and the game is a blast.
