In what way does your game fit the theme?
I used the idea of the butterfly effect from chaos theory although the things the butterfly can do are not as chaotic as I'd hoped when I began the project.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Fun!  I don't understand the point of the purple collectables as they have no impact on gameplay, and while it fits the theme I feel like some of the puzzles (especially the very last one) were less of a test of skill and more of do it over and over until it works.  Then again, that is pretty chaotic so it also kinda fits the theme so that's kind of a win.

I like the idea of the butterfly effect for chaos. I think the dominos represented the idea well too.

Cool game. The art looks really nice, and the butterfly looks cool flying around too, but that also makes it harder and more drifty to control. It also wasn't super chaotic. But all the different mechanics of the pressure plates and bouncy pads were cool and satisfying, wasn't much of a challenge though.

Would appreciate it if you played our game too.

The art is amazing! The puzzles were fun and I liked how it played. Good job!

Interesting Concept Very short tho

Could build upon  it to make interesting and in-depth levels

Really liked the idea of a flying platformer. Feels like you could do something great with more time and some other ideas using the same line :) 

Enjoyed it!

i really like the idea with the butterfly effect, the art is also really good

Cool game dude. I really like puzzle games and this one looks great! I don't get how it fits the theme though

Submitted

The sprites are really well made, the butterfly looks really cool and the background also looks amazing :D The BGM is also very nice.

Submitted

Cute and small game, although I was hoping for more chaos to unfold :c

Like the puzzle ideas though!

Submitted

Look at that we made the same game lol. Anyways I really liked how to showed the butterfly effect in game, that the fragile, tiny butterfly could set off a chain reaction large enough to pass the level. Also the graphics were great. Nice job!

Submitted

Nice game but less chaotic . Art work is excellent!!!

Submitted

Love the bgm, butterfly is a symbol of chaos anyways ;)

I like the idea of making a game about the butterfly effect, but when i started to play i thought that you first play a butterfly and do something and then play someone else and do something else and so on and so on and in the end it leads to a big event. This gameplay is okay, but i difficult, i couldn't get past level 3. It's cool that you tried out this idea tho, that's what Game Jams are for. The music gets annoying pretty quickly, but the graphics are amazing. I noticed that some of the sprites don't really fit together, some have an outline, others don't,  and the butterfly looks alot different than the other things.

I hope the feedback helped you a bit, it would be cool if you could check out my submisssion too. Thanks! :)

This feedback is very helpful to me, and I really appreciate the time you took to play my game. Having the player play as someone else would have been really fun to implement, and I did actually want there to be a bigger event but I just did not manage my time very well. And with the music it's possible I may have went a little overboard. I'm really glad you enjoyed the graphics, because I did happen to spend a lot of time on it, although I do need to practice finding consistency with the art
