- 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)
Alone

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! :)
Thanks! I was pretty proud of the jar sound I made I'm glad it's liked by others too 😊🙏🏼
I loved this game! The art is so charming and cute. It's so impressive that you made ten whole levels with different music and backgrounds! 10/10
The key is to make individual assets you can reuse in different ways xD
Glad you enjoyed 🙏🏼😊❤️
It kinda reminds me of where's waldo. Good work on the art!
Yay! That was kinda the idea.
Thanks for playing!
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.
Thank you for playing! I had ideas for other modes but I barely squeaked by with the base one unfortunately 🫠
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.
my first idea was actually a lot like this but with sea plants but I got overwhelmed so I made something simpler.
I have heard of Maya and the bee but I didn't actively watch it.
I'm glad you enjoyed!
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!
Yah I think that's the only "complaint" I've gotten is it's repetitive. Which I get, it felt that way when play testing it after a while. I did have a timed mode in mind but I ran out of time to implement it. 🫠
Thanks for playing!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed 🙏🏼😊
Easily some of the best art in this jam, great job! (also i really liked the jar closing sound)
thanks so much!😊🙏🏼
I used an olive jar in a microphone for the jar sound.
An olive jar? What even is that??? People put olives in jars? I only ever saw olives in cans
What? Really? 😯
Yah I used a jar of green pimento olives xD
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!
thanks! Yah I can see it getting old with the ladybugs. I picked them since they're easier to make small. If I had more time I would have had more bugversity.
Such a cute little game! It’d be interesting to add actions that could make things more challenging—like bugs that knock over the jar and scare off other insects, or something like that. Lovely art, great job!
I did plan on a times mode for extra challenge but I didn't have time xD. Those are cool ideas too!
Thanks for playing 😊🙏🏼
I'm probably the best bug hunt player ever and I dare anyone of you wannabe bug hunters to challenge me!
(this was a pretty good game.)
Awww xD thanks!
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 planned on having a timed mode but I ran out of time making the main levels unfortunately. D:
I'm glad you enjoyed! Thanks for playing 😁
This has a really nice style. The art and sound effects are great. Particularly impressive that you created all the assets! Great job 😊
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼 😁
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 !!
Aw thanks! That means a lot as someone who isn't a huge fan of certain bugs myself!
Thank you for playing :D
great job!
Thanks!
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
Thank you for playing!
