I got a date!
The hunger bur was emptying sooo fast :D But you know...I was also eating bees bcs I didnt realize :D So then It was a date. I still dont know how to eat flies. It seems like its not doing anything. Maybe I am doing something wrong?
Love the artwork
I did have some trouble with the hunger mechanic at first, but I eventually figured it out - I didn't realize I had to actively use my claws to grab birds and bugs!
I also love the sound effects you've made! Everything feels very crunchy and satisfying!
Overall this was really cute, fun, and sweet!
Very solid gameplay and cute artstyle. My recommendation for post-jam updates would be adding a few visual effects for eating and getting stung, and some way to tell the player to press A/D mid-air for using the claws. :bug:: Sometimes you get stuck/go below the ground when landing on the edge of the screen.
Hope this helps :smiley: I've got to the 4th ending
Managed to get a date, wasn't good enough for ending 5 :<

Also, I think having some control on the number of flower that fall down, or the rate at which your "energy" depletes would be nice: at one point I realized I could just run at the spot where the flower would land, without jumping. So I was able to avoid the bees and catch every flower that spawned, but only got ending 4/5 which felt a bit unfair since there wasn't enough flower for me to catch, or time for me to get more ? :confused:
But otherwise it's a very cute entry. I enjoyed the cute graphics and sound, and the lovely story was a nice take on the theme!
Still, it was very playable, and it kept me playing through a few rounds. Simple and satisfying!
But there was no feedback for hitting anything else other than bees and flowers so that's what seemed right. Something else I would have really liked was a little more jump height control. I think not having air control is a good design decision but being strategic about how high I could jump feels like an extra layer I would like
