In what way does your game fit the theme?
The Butterfly Effect is a common saying in chaos theory, suggesting that something as small as the flap of a butterfly's wings can trigger thunderstorms on the other side of the world.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Everything was made from scratch except for these assets (all from the asset store): Butterfly (Animated) by Innowell GMBH, Lowpoly Flowers by Chlyang, Free Trees by Ada_King, and Lightning Bolt Effect for Unity by Digital Ruby (Jeff Johnson).

love the concept :). Flapping around as a butterfly makes for an interesting playable character dynamic.
Lots of work to make this in a week. Well done!
This game has a lot of potential. If you made the movement better and the camera a bit better it would be really good! Also the audio is missing
How is a flower half the length of a tree?
A bit too hard to land maybe? But the idea is very cool and art is also nice but I wish you did made by yourself.
I liked the idea, but I find it hard to aim which flower to land on.
The game looks very nice so that's a plus. I didn't really understand how to play at the beginning so it kinda put me off at the start but after I figured it out it was fun
Really cool, camera is a bit too far away or maybe you could do a better angle. A little bit more feedback for growing flowers would be nice. Liked it!
Really inspirational game idea! I'll be honest, I had trouble seeing exactly where I was on the planet. Maybe you could allow the player to move the camera, make the player a bit closer to the camera, or just adding a shadow under the butterfly would help. Overall though, really cool concept!
It was fun being a destructive butterfly! Sound would definitely help. Great concept!
First off, nice graphics. I like the low poly 3D aesthetic. The game itself is a unique concept and I like how it relates to the theme, though I was a bit confused at first until I scrolled down to the page text. Having a shadow below the butterfly to show how high it is would help see how close it is to the ground, since as is it's kind of hard to tell. Another thing I'd suggest is having an in-game tutorial or description, as a lot of people don't bother reading the store page text. Also sound would add a ton.
interesting concept, really love the aesthetics of the game, maybe adding sounds will enhance the overall experience, improve the lighting and add some post-processing effects and you got a piece of art, overall it's a nice game and has some potential.

Camera doesn't feel intuitive for me but idea is great, very pleasing for eye and fun to play. Would play again if this becomes more than jam game! :)
Beautiful stuff man! I love the concept. Keep it up!
Had to get used to the controls, but then it played well. Good work!
Wow the idea is so cool! controls felt bit off at first but got used to it. pretty good game overall!
Interesting idea and looks good. But the controller is hard to control.
Love the idea, looks good too. I sometimes found it a bit hard to control with the camera being so far away from the butterfly but got the hang of it eventually.
Beautiful planet with beautiful animation. Good job!
interesting idea my friend, took me a minute to figure out how to play, but good game overall :))
