I liked the graphics a lot! And the flies are as annoying to catch as actual flies…

Ah.... such a good idea. It was super hard for me to grab the flies -- like I finally caught one but then the plant wouldn't eat it. :bug: ?

The art style is super smooth. The clouds and world is a nice touch and I liked that the Beetle started appearing. Even though they really stressed be out.
The flies are very hard to click on. It is also not super clear where you are supposed to drop them off, at the first I just missed the mouth and was confused what I did wrong.
My record is 15!

Hard game. Love the discordant music!

It would seem that the main challenge of the game is trying to click on the tiny, fast moving flies and then find the vague space that constitutes the plant's mouth. However, once I got good that this, it was surprisingly engaging. I also found the surreal sky-scape setting to be quite interesting. Overall, not bad.

The cubic aspect of the game is great. The flies though, they are a bit quick for me but I caught some of them :smile:. After catching them, I find it hard to know where it release it exactly. I suggest that a small animation from the plant plays when you hover the flies on the correct spot. Great game overall!

Love the cubic graphisms ! It was a little bit difficult for me to find the mouth, but the muscis fits perfectly with the chaotic flying food !

46 highscore :)

Loved the arstyle and the sound. Feeding felt verry satisfying.
Only the release was a bit tight i would have made it more forgiving.

Really great style on this game, the flies were difficult to catch but rewarding once you did.
I would of liked the area to drop the flies to be slightly more forgiving.

Really fun idea, but sometimes i put the flies in the mouth but the plant did not eat them, because it was not clear for me where the specific place to put the flies were.

Nice little game! Graphics are great and the idea was pretty good. It took me a while to find where to leave the flies so the plant would eat them. Congratulations anyways for this fantastic game

The music REALLY fit with the frantic gameplay. I had a hard time finding where to drop the bugs at first, but I got the hang of it.
Found a bug?
