Really nicely done - I love the music, the art is fantastic and my favorite part is how satisfying it is to collect the bugs, the sounds of the jar opening and the lil bugs getting dropped inside the jar, very cool! :)

- Chill game ! Very relaxing. Nice art, nice background. My only issue was that at first I would drag the bugs directly inside the jar instead of on top of it and it wouldnt register, took me some time to understand I had to drop them over the lid. nice chill entry.
Did you work alone, or as part of a group? (If in a group, list their names)

I really like the art of the game! I think one of my favorites is the one with just the branches and leaves. Gameplay is fun but turns a bit repetitive after a while.
I liked the music and especially the animation + sfx of the jar opening and closing. The game play did feel a bit repetitive. My idea to make it more engaging while keeping the low stakes, relaxing game play, would be have more varied environments that include many diverse objects with the bugs hiding in between. I also think less but better hidden bugs would help to make collecting a bug feel less like busywork and more like a reward for finding the bug. That said the art is amazing and reminds me of the Maya the Honey Bee tv series and my favorite part of minish cap if you know them.
Cute game! Love the art, it's very well done. It gets a liiittle repetitive after a while (my hand hurts lol) and the dropping from the top of the jar didn't always register properly but honestly great job!
The game is super charming! It was a lotta fun to locate the little bugs, but it did feel a bit repetitive when I had to grab so many ladybugs, it was still an awesome game though!
I remember seeing this one in the discord server and I was like, "Man, that looks like a good game." I was not dissapointed! It's a nice, cozy, relaxing game about collecting bugs, and with great art to boot! I would have liked to see a bit more challenge with the gameplay(right now you just have to drop them in, and there aren't any bugs you need to avoid or anything). But then again, I didn't come to Bug Hunt for the challenge, I came for the vibes, and you certainly delivered on that front! Way to go on this peak submission!
I dont like bugs so I wasnt sure about this game, but turns out I had a great time ! I dont know how you did it, maybe cause the art was so cute I didnt mind !!
Very fun game! Took me a bit to realize that if you drag the bug into the jar itself and not into the lid that the bug didn't count to the score. But figured it out in the end :D
