the insect collects pollen from flowers but some flowers "aren't real"! and will eat the little insect causing a game over

Pretty impressive for something made in 4 hours, the art especially. Biggest issue is that it's so easy to fly off the screen by tapping the jump only a couple of times. It would have been cool if you were able to get the pollen from the fake flowers and they were worth bonus points.

Congrats on your first real game jam!

For four hours this is a pretty impressive entry to the jam, obviously it's a little hard to rate keeping that in  mind while also keeping it fair to other games, but still, a pretty good submission based off that context.  Honestly I've seen much worse that I believe had the full week.  So I'm happy to see something this well put together in 4 hours.

There's not a lot to gameplay which makes sense with the time limit that you were under at the time.,  Although I do have to say it would've been a little nice if the plants maybe changed every run, or changed throughout the run.  Just to mix it up a little, but it does seem like a lot of those four hours were put into the art so I can sort of understand it.  


Overall, as a first jam this was a pretty well done project for sure.  I'd be interested to see what would come out of a full week for a jam 100%.

It a nice game, the art fitting the environment and the concept is pretty interesting, it's incredible that this game in done only in 4 hours. Adding randomize flower every few seconds post-jam would be great.

Amazing what you did in 4 hours! A promising idea with a lot of space to grow.

You did in four hours what I would struggle to do in a month. Impressive.

Obviously, given the time you did this in, you wouldn't be able to add what I suggest, but I'm going to suggest them anyway: cycling out which flower is fake, giving an indication about which one is fake, having some kind of game difficulty escalation.

Nicely done.

Nice game

Pretty good for time you made it in!

Cool, the idea is nice. I think its a little bit too easy. It would've been harder if the wrong flowers would randomize. Also I think the movement is a bit janky. But if you did this in just four hours and as a first game jam, this is more than enough! Very well done!

Nice idea, good work for just four hours of time.

Fun game. However, it seems the resolution of the game does not fit very well :( Overall, great work! :)

I lake the minimalistic design of this game and its mechanics, but the font does not fit there very well.

oops I got eaten XD

Nice game man! I was getting confused at first and thought every plant would eat me. Then I saw the eyes lol.

I'd recommend using space to jump. Additionally, it would be helpful to make a bounding box so you can't fly off-screen.

I look forward to seeing your next one!

Well done! Cool art style, but it has some bugs.

The jumping mechanic feels really weird, having to play with left mouse and A/D keys doesn't feel too good. Obviously needed a lot more work. Doesn't fit the theme, but really well done if you made it in 4 hours!
