A cozy little game, definitely something I could see myself playing for hours. The hummingbird seems a bit out of place; you get almost no mileage out of it, compared to the butterfly, it’s more situational and almost always worse. The music gets a bit repetitive after a while, and it could use a bit more visual polish. All that aside, this is a great idea for a game, which I would love to see expanded on.

This is really nice, with the addition of a tutorial and some good audio feedback I think it could become a great little time waster!
Is a very good game, I like the art and the original idea of match flowers and synergys of them. At the start is a little bit confusing, there is a lot of information, a tutorial or introducing a plant or insect at each level would have been better (in my opinion). I think the leadeboard it's a great way to make the game replayable, and it's a great achievement to have added it in such a short amount of time. Congratulations, very good game!!!
By the way, you have my humble game here if you want to try it too ;
Really impressed!, it’s quite a difficult game. This doesn’t mean it isn’t fun, but since the learning curve starts off very steep, it would be better to go by levels, where new plants/insects are introduced little by little. (art 5, music 4)
I liked it, it's a good game! Maybe a tutorial would be a great addition to it.
Loved the idea to be able to compete with others and try the level as many times as you want. Great job on the art also. Though I find it a little hard to understand what the items exactly do and how to use them best, so maybe a tutorial would bring this game to another level. Overall well done!
If you find the time to play our game too, I would appreciate it!
Easy to understand, but hard to master! That’s a great balance to have in a game. It really rewards players who take the time to learn the patterns and adapt their playstyle in order to score higher, which makes mastering the game very satisfying. The overall balance feels well thought out, and the art style together with the music creates a nice harmony that fits the gameplay perfectly. With more practice, I can see this being a very addictive experience.
The sprite art looks great, and the black and yellow you chose fit the game really well, giving it a more chill vibe, especially with the bossa nova music. I actually thought about using black and yellow in my own game because of the bee, but it didn’t feel like a good match. In your game though, the colors fit the vibe perfectly. Really nice idea and very well executed, great job!
A simple and good game, I enjoyed it. Although the leaderboard was a little bit bugged.
the art is amazing and i wonder how did you managed to make it using only 2 colours
