I do agree it takes some time to understand at the beginning, but I guess its part of the discovery journey of the game.
Loved the art style, and the gameplay reminded me of the first level in spore, which I loved. Cheers!
I enjoyed playing it and never noticed how many cycles I have already completed, since it lets you forget time while playing. Really nice work!

I really enjoyed it. Beautiful to look at and interesting to play.
Noticed 2 weird things tho:
- If you're aiming the jump and accidentally move your cursor outside of the game's window you jump instantly
- If in the second phase you catch a fly and die, the fly just gets yeeted away
Overall an amazing game. Good job!
Cool art style, sweet atmosphere. I dig it!
Overall, good entry. Well done!
