The art is so cuteeeee. My only problems with it is the bug hitbox is a little weird. I swing the net multiple time but i  can't catch it. Overall, Great game.

It was a little hard to swing the net. I really liked the aesthetic and the bug facts! Also the hercules beetle opened my jar and it freaked me out

Once I had my feet under me, this was a really enjoyable romp. 

In the yes category, obviously all the asset working, the moodsetting, and the 2d inverse kinematics are all just fantastic. I loved the bugs-eating-bugs behavior, just a nice little touch. Getting to shake the jars felt cute.

The inputs were inspired, but not too forgiving. That was a little fun in a QWOP way, but might have put a person off. I'm glad you had multiple timers in different venues of the experience instead of just one big one, but aside from the clock It felt just a little disconnected from 'countdown'.

I don't intend to be bad news! The truth is always best. But, out of the games I've played the input method here was totally unique and very memorable to me. I'll definitely be checking out everyone's works. xx

Loved the art and the music! 

The jars were invisible for me for some reason
I guess you could say this game was pretty BUGGY



sorry

Sorry for our jars! They are definitely misbehaving. It's so buggy out here. But still, thank you so much for playing.

It looks great! But collecting the bugs is actually really awkward—though it is cool that you have to put them into different jars!

The art is very cute! I had a hard time swinging the net because my browser was lagging pretty bad, but I enjoyed shaking the jar until it went off screen.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Haha, I didn't know about the jar thing. I guess jam games are junky like that. :D

Cozy game! Catching was a bit tricky at first but I quickly got the hang of it :)
