Love the art style and the atmosphere. I panicked from the beating heart and thought I should hurry to find more bugs to live, which makes the ending even sadder. :'(

Small note about your submission image, you might have to redraw the L and I of your game's title, as it can read like a different word. :)

Relaxing and slow paced experience. I like the drawings a lot - good job! Can I see the collected bugs somewhere? Is there collection created or something?

Developer(+1)

That was the plan, to have a bug collection, but due time we only have one bug :(     (but the game code does not have a lot of bugs haha )

I absolutely adore the art of this game, especially the imagery(?) with the red heart timer made of various flora and a clock. Even the animations are super cute when Pancarcio walks (I'm not sure if I got the name right, it wasn't on the screen for long)
