I loved how, when you start the game, it teaches you how the gameplay works - Hit space, and you'll jump!  It was a really effective little \"tutorial\" that didn't require any explanation, and fit perfectly as a transition from menu to gameplay as well!\n\nI 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!\n\nI also love the sound effects you've made!

Jumping even has that high-risk high-reward aspect as you go faster than walking and cover more area for eating, but also has a higher chance of landing on a bee by accident.   \nVery 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.   \nHope this helps :smiley: I've got to the 4th ending","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1173759,"author_name":"Ansible","author_uid":"ansible","epoch":1759948658,"text":"Aww SO cute!!

Part of me would have like to be able to control the height of my jumps, but having a set jump height also makes it a good challenge.\n\nAlso, 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:\n\nBut otherwise it's a very cute entry.
