Really nice getting the cut scene in to set the tone. The game works well but as you have noticed is cheesible if you just run straight. I really liked the sound effects and the thunder.

Awesome artwork and use of the theme. Love the cutscene and the atmosphere of the entire game. Impressed that you managed to fit a difficulty system in such a short time as well.

I really enjoyed the art and the premise. The red fireflies were really annoying, though, and I wound up just running in as straight a line as I could to collect 9 before they killed any.

Haha, yeah, that was not supposed to work this way, but we realized that you can cheese the game a little too late.
Thank you for your feedback!!

Beautiful animations!  Love the simplicity of the core mechanics.  Above all I think the art style is my favorite here.

Developer

Thank you!! c: I think graphics were the hardest part lol

Nice cutsceenes, art like from old flash games (nostalgic) and great idea and implementation.

Developer

Haha, it's nice to feel nostalgia sometimes, I think. Thank you!!

Great art and narrative! Really cute! There's not much to the gameplay, but the idea is really neat, and the music certainly helps with creating an atmosphere. Lovely!

I definitely got the story and enjoyed the art. My favorite parts were the simple animation style and the lightening strikes. It also had that intangible 'cool' factor. Great submission!

Wow, love the atmosphere in this one! It was really charming to see the story play out. The storytelling was simple yet effective. I enjoyed the sounds used and even little effects like the lightning and the bugs following you added a lot to the game. Also, I love how the assets looked! They looked coherent together. However, the gameplay was pretty slow and consisted mostly of me aimlessly wandering around the map. I wasn't exactly sure how to avoid the red flies from taking mine away. 

Developer

We wanted to add more interesting features to the gameplay, but just couldn't make it in 3 days. Maybe we will update it later!
It's very nice to receive such feedback, thank you very much for your comment!!

Wow! It's like very simple but I LOVE the story, like your character wants to help out the bugs, (if that is accurate) that's really cute! The color palette in the menu is also really simple but there is just something with that dark blue color behind the greens and the yellow character, really soothing! And the music is mysterious which is nice but I think the some sound effects during gameplay are perhaps too loud. The cutscenes were very nice. And the THUNDER, OMG it literally scared me every single time hahaha, I think that was very accurate, it should be scary. One little thing though, during gameplay, at first I thought the bugs will get lost if you're moving too fast and therefore it was much easier for the red bugs to eat our bugs, thus making the game harder, but if you just start zooming through the level your bugs are left behind and I am not really sure what happens but the red bugs don't eat them at all off screen, so it was kind of easy even on the hard difficulty. Maybe your bugs have to be near you, otherwise the counter will just decrease. 

Overall nice game! :D

Developer(+1)

OMG Thank you very much for such a thoughtful comment!!! We are really grateful for your nice words and will try to improve the gameplay. There really is some problem with red bugs following our bugs off screen, maybe we will try to fix this after the jam ends) We are happy you liked the game cc:
