Describe How Your Entry Fits the Jam's Theme
Bugs make fine snacks is a game about little short-sighted owl flying in the night forest and looking for yummy bug snacks, but he should be careful: some of them ain't bugs at all
Did you create all of your art/sound/music as a part of the game jam?
yes, all code/art/music/sfx were created during jam

thanks:)
well, the stars shouldn't really change their position when you move, but maybe next time i will add some clouds or whatever:)
Love the graphics so much! :3
thank you do much:)
nice idea although i didn't figure out "if it's not a bug then what is it ?!" , i like the scene graphics but the sound get my nerve , making owl eating the bugs should be a good things , i don't knew why you use kind a horror music .. anyway nice affords .
It might have been some spiky flying plant seed, those are not yummy:) the music wasn't happy music since night forest full of thorns isn't a sunshine valley, it's a dangerous place if you are tiny owl with bad eyes
it's a pretty nice game with nice graphics and nice music, but its pace is too slow
Thanks. I suspect you played browser version? Yes, it is slow for many people, please try windows version instead, it should be ok...... (sorry, I will remove backtrace after the jam and it will work fine)
But I tried the downloaded version
Oh....... That also happens:( I can't express how much I am frustrated that game became so slow and laggy after including backtrace libraries:(
the graphism are so cute, the theme it's original
thank you!
The graphics and the music are very cute and the gameplay is original so well done !
thank you!
very good👍
thank you:)
lovely visuals, relaxing game. Thank you!
thank you:)
Amazing art! I totally fell in love with your style and I'm excited to discover you made a few visual novels, I will defenitely check them out!
Unfortunately, the game itself wasn't challenging enough for me. I tried the Windows version and I still find it too slow, even when pushing the right arrow. Regardless of that, I cannot say I got bored super fast, as I stopped playing at 2k+ points :D
I also like your idea for the theme; simple, but still both engaging and relaxing in its' own way. Good job!
Thank you so much:)
That's impressive number:) have you met the cat then?:)
Yes, I know about that problem and it is sooo frustrating that it is so slow in builds. After the jam is over I will remove backtrace from the project (or will think of other ways to keep it but keep the game look as it supposed to look like) and one can enjoy the game as it should be:)
Yes, I did meet the cat, but I avoided it not knowing if it's an enemy or not, so there was no interaction :D
I'll play it again to check out the cat and the new pace after the jam, I hit you with a follow to stay tuned.
Best of luck with your future projects! :)
you might guess owls and cats are not best friends:)
Amazing visuals! The game felt a little bit too slow, so I suggest making the bird fly faster. But despite that, it was a simple but fun game with a quite nice idea!
Thank you! I think i know the reason why it is slow - because webGL version doesn't work as it should after including backtrace. For me it's also incredibly slow. Try to play windows version instead?
Uneasy music, so I tried not to hit the plants. Cute graphic!
happy to hear that you like the art:) Uneasy music for uneasy task of little owl in a dark forest full of danger thorns:)
The graphics were great but the sound was super unnerving..... and I feel like you fly a bit slow, maybe speed it up a little bit
Thank you! Yes, I know about this problem, it happens sometimes that browser version is too slow, that's why we recommend the windows-build instead:)
I liked the graphics and sound, the textures on the art are reminiscent of Kirby games and Yoshi's island. sometimes it will spawn two flies that are so far apart on the Y access it's impossible to reach them even if you change direction right away. Great entry!
thank you! You don't have to pick up all them, you can just enjoy the flight and avoid any obstacles:) Bugs are appearing in random places - they can even appear inside a thorn bush - like in real life:)
Love the simplicity of the game loop! Wonderful art style.
thank you:) not much time to do something more sophisticated when you do everything from scratch within 48h, but I hope you like it anyway:)
With this kind of music I would have expected an horror game, but I think this is the only "defect".
Nice concept and I really love the art design! It's like reading a book for children!
thank you!
Well, the night forest full of thorns when you are short-sighted owl is not exactly a happy walk under sunshine, so music shouldn't be too happy;)
beautiful art :)
thank you!
thank you:)
The Art is really cool. Has a very soothing effect to it while playing. I enjoyed it very much :)
thank you! I'm happy you liked it - all is hand-drawn:)
Art is beautiful and it's a calming experience. I'd add a little bit more difficulty but other than that very well done =)
thank you! it might be that browser version was too slow (it is happening to me) and this is why it might seem way too easy. Try the windows version instead:)
It is very beautifully drawn and funny that it is not immediately possible to consider what kind of bonus. You did well.
thank you! happy that you liked the game:)
