How does you game fit the theme?
This game fits the theme as you play a moth as they fly by a never ending series of lamps which may or may not be real (some are bug-zappers instead).
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All assets (graphics, sound effects, music, etc.) and code were written by myself as the sole developer during the game jam. No external packages/assets were used in the making of this project.
Tools used to make the assets and code: Unity, Visual Studio, Inkscape, Krita, Audacity, and Bosca Ceoil

That was fun and adorable gameplay! I wasn't a good moth leader. I kept accidentally running my moths into the lamps.
Such a cool, relaxing game! I liked the graphics and music. The gameplay feels really good, but I was surprised that there is no ending and the moths won't achieve their dreams... But still, very fun game.
hahaha so funny :D I Liked it !
Amazing game! I loved everything, but my favorite little bit was the slight pull the moths have towards lamps. Excellent UI work as well, fantastic all around!
And I think the bug-zapper pretty fits on the game jam theme, "IT IS NOT REAL"!
I played it and enjoyed well. And killing bats was extremely fun.
This was very cute and fun and I enjoyed a lot the reading the banter! :D
Adorable. It was heartbreaking watching so many of my brothers fall to seductive false lamps, and eaten by hungry beasts. Though I will persist, as one day I will reach the great lamp in the sky. I love lamp
Me and the boys flyin around, livin life and lovin lamps. How could it get any better? Really fun concept and use of theme. It's interesting how you must avoid touching the things that bring you joy, but hey, I guess that's moth sim for ya!
I never knew that I wanted to play as a moth so badly, my fellow moths kept getting zapped or eaten. I enjoyed it overall, what an excellent game!
That was pretty fun, I like the concept. I have a bit of a moth problem where I live, so I actually enjoyed gathering a group of moths then purposely flying them into a zapper, kind of satisfying... I know that's not what I was supposed to do, but moths haunt me haha.
I was actually pretty impressed by the fact that you have a fully implemented settings menu... with things I wouldn't expect (saturation etc). Minor thing - one suggestion to make the sliders look a bit nicer is to use sliced images rather than stretching the image to fill the slider.
Great job!
I had a blast playing this game!! I love the flappy bird-esk movement, but with the additional mechanics of getting friends along the way. And it was sad when my brothers died! I felt very invested trying to keep them alive!
I was curious is there a way to kill the bats? Like get them to hit lamps? I tried but couldn't get the angle right.
I also love your opening cutscene super cute humor great game, excited to see where this goes!
Thanks! The bats follow the moths, so you have to lead the bat into the zappers without getting into the zapper yourself of course.
That's so cool! I'll have try again then! Thanks so much really excited to see more!
The gameplay was really fun, and I liked the idea of using moths

Really fun and cute game!
[appreciative moth noises]
This was so cute. Thanks for this great game. I constantly flew over the roof in the hope you really could get to the moon. :) Sadly i couldn't. But i had many friends. But the bat ate them all. :-( Great experience. :)
Haha I loved it :D I absolutly get the theme here!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
Never would I ever guessed that I would enjoy being a moth, gathering moth friends. Great game! :D
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I really liked this game, the art are simple and cute, and the moth talking during the game was a nice touch, the only thing is that i felt the moth was too fast, but i guess with practice the player can handle it, nice job!
Thanks! I wanted to give him some personality and add some humor to the game. The moth speed was something I was indecisive about. I'm thinking of adding a gameplay menu where the player can increase/decrease the difficulties (including speed) where it provides higher/lower score rate after the game jam.
This game was super fun and cute! I was smiling and giggling the whole time I played it. It took me a few tries to realize exactly what was going on, but once I realized what was happening it was a blast!
Thanks! I'm glad you had fun! I had a lot of fun making it
It came through, for sure.
