Fun and neat game, the puzzle was cleverly made 🦋🌼✨

Very interesting concept! I really enjoyed solving the puzzles! The flight mechanic was a little tricky to master (perhaps I just have my mouse sensitivity too high), but once I was used to flying around, it was very fun to do. I would love to see this as a longer game, with more puzzles, and more variety of flowers/flower shapes!

Those were some clever puzzles! The mixing mechanic was a nice surprise for sure

Nice concept and mini-puzzle game! I had a bit of trouble with the movement controls at first.

The game itself was great! I loved the mechanic when it came to the flowers and while it took a little to understand, this felt good to solve. A great puzzle game that you should be proud of!

thanks for giving it a go, well done for solving it!

The artwork and style were really nicely done. I read through your page (thanks for the instructions) but couldn't figure out what the flowers and dishes did -- so I was unable to figure out how to move past the first room. Regardless, I spent a good few minutes just enjoying flying around and experiencing the world. This was really nicely put together in such a short time!

A few thoughts for your consideration:

  1. The camera follow distance is so close that I found it difficult to orient myself in the room/world. Perhaps allowing some sort of zoom out or follow-distance option would be helpful if you were to revisit this game in the future.
  2. More obvious hints or game interactions would be useful in solving the puzzle(s) -- or perhaps amplifying indications that a puzzle can be solved to move forward in the game would be beneficial.
  3. The mouse controlling camera and vector was challenging for me, but I'm on a laptop so maybe that's less of an issue for a mouse user.

Cheers!

thanks for the detailed feedback, that is useful to know about the controls. For the hints I was planning to add hints into the game where the other butterfly or a bird character could be approached to give hints and also explain the objective, but ran out of time.
