What game am I thinking of?

I'm trying to remember the name of a video game I played in the early 90's...

It was on PC and Mac, and involved a polygonal blue insect-like creature which you had to guide through a complex of shifting platforms and assorted deathtraps. The bug had rudimentary AI, and would gradually learn not to walk off of platforms, and to turn or jump when you clicked on it in certain ways, so you had to train it to react properly to your instructions.

Does that ring any bells for anyone? Mainly I just remember this bright blue rectangular bug and shouting "Now! JUMP NOW!!" a lot. And that in one level, the platforms had holes in them that made them look like graham crackers.
