How does your game fit the theme?
Our game is styled to emulate the tension of the countdown to a New Year's Eve kiss. As the clock ticks toward midnight, Kori is deciding whether to go for in for the kiss, and it's up to you to nurture those nerves, growing the butterflies in her stomach until she's got the courage to lean in. As the game escalates, every caterpillar you feed starts its own countdown too - a patience timer ticking away, stacking and compressing until keeping them all fed becomes its own frantic race against the clock.

fun, cute, silly, and i loved the art style. i don't know how Kori has managed to eat all of that stuff though, worried for her digestive tract a bit.
Awesome game!

Such a cute, silly, fun game, and a nice take on the theme! The art direction was fantastic, the music was a vibe, the game loop was frantic and fun. I even liked the butterfly catalog feature. Really well polished game and nicely executed :)

Pretty fun game fitted up with some BANGER music, I was bumping to this beat the whole time. Haven't seen this take on countdown either, so huge props! I will say that personally I found the game to be way more lengthy than I expected, especially since the gameplay loop stayed largely the same, I was getting slliiiiiightly bored, but other than that great game!

Thank you! I made the choice at the end of day 4 of the jam to increase the length of the game when I was tired and should not have been making choices like that 💀😂😂

I'm glad you love the music as my fiancé made it for us 🥰

I absolutely get that, I was beyond exhausted I nearly ended the jam without a web release, couldve been catastrophic! 

Tell your fiance they make amazing music! (I'm sure you already do lol)

Such a lovely game! The butterflies and the whole art style are beautiful, and the little facts were a really nice touch. I only managed to win on easy mode too, but I still had a great time.

The artwork is just adorable, plain and simple. The gameplay is super fun too, but the artwork and the vibes are everything with this one! Probably one of my highest ratings this whole jam!

The artwork is extremely pretty and the idea is really original

I found the pods pulsing when you hold the correct item extremely helpful. The difficulty curve was also very well done, especially that last part where Kori just chows down on whichever object she finds. No complaints here, very well made game!

That was one long kiss though I'll tell you that

Incredibly original idea and the artwork is stunning. I love the general art direction, especially with the choice of colors. And I absolutely love those menus. Top-notch UI.

I love this game! The butterflies are so pretty and the artwork is so gorgeous. I could only win on easy mode but thats on me haha. I also loved reading about each bit of butterfly info.

Thank you!! Our artist did an incredible job on the butterflies, we love them sm! 

We knew spending the extra time to add Easy Mode would be worth it hahahaha.

Very chill vibes with this one, which contrasts well with me frantically searching the stomach for a soda when one of the worms demands sugar. This game was really fun, especially towards the end when everything got faster, though I was a tad frustrated when the caterpillars demanded a very specific item and that item was refusing to drop for like 10 straight seconds. Still enjoyed it though, that kinda added to it even if it was a little frustrating, and the amazing art and lovely music helped a ton to ease my worries.

Thank you!! I plan to add a system to ensure item drops are less infrequent in future, but it does add to the fun stress in the meantime hahaha
