Become a hundred thousandaire or have fun trying! Play as Joe, and capture butterflys to make money, then buy upgrades, then catch more butterflys!

​Controls​

move: wasd or arrow keys

swing net: spacebar

buy upgrades: left click on the upgrade

activate vacuum: right click

Pssst, I hear if you press the END key you get 1K for free. But that's cheating, unless...

This felt a little like one of those clicker games. Its actually really addicting and you do want to finish it.
Good job!

I had fun playing this. I found the massive net combined with the vacuum at the end very funny.

I guess that you didn't lie about not being more upgrades :laughing: I loved the mood and the progression of the game! The texts could be more visible but other than that I liked this entry, congrats!

Godot FTW!

How high were my expectations for this game? Not nearly as high as they should have been. I became a hundred thousandaire, but did I stop there? No. No, I became a two-hundred thousandaire. Thanks for the game! This would be a great fit for the Playdate! If you're not careful, I might beat you to it...

This was a lot of fun - I kept being surprised with each successive net upgrade, it became comically large.
I'm torn about the vacuum - early game I was impatient about it recharging, but once I had a bunch of upgrades I felt like it should charge less quickly; I was able to get most of my hundred thousand in two uses of the vacuum. Maybe if the vacuum's charge slowed down as you got more upgrades that would help with the pacing. That's super minor though!

Great job!

Fun game! The start with only a few butterflies felt a little overwhelming, but the money doublers and net upgrades made the impact with upgraded creatures.

Good job!

Really enjoyed the game, but the only thing that was a shame, that the upgrade isn't infinite!

Really great job you've done here

I really liked the graphics and the atmosphere, it took me back to my early days with Unity! 🦋 The gameplay is fun and addictive, I became a millionaire in minutes! 💰 😂 The improvements were well thought out, but a little better text visibility could have made the game even better. Overall, great job! 👏

Had a lot of fun playing, although after getting all upgrades the game becomes a bit tedious. Great entry!

Super fun and addictive! I was surprised how much time I spent playing. The upgrades are satisfying, and the visuals are charming. Any plans to expand or polish it further? Would love to see more!

Fun game! I liked that better butterflies are not just more expencive, but also fly faster, so at first they are not that simple to catch actually :smiley: (before you get the giant net and some speed boosts) Maybe some kind of a combo system would be grat.

Movement feels a little bit clunky, but is a minor nitpick

Nice and simple. Very inspirational. I like the absurdity of the net upgrade.

Waw nice game, it was really fun to play, the walk animation was killing it xD.
Good job!

Simple but effective. Sometimes these kinds of incremental games are fun to play, but they tend to start stretching the gameplay too much. This did not overstay its welcome and I did get the crown and I did enjoy my time.
I had a minor power trip with the last couple net upgrades as the area was so big and it felt good to capture massive quantities of butterflies at once when vacuuming. Audio and graphics were clean and worked well for the game.
Overall a nice job.

Haha, very fun, with max upgrades it looks buggy but in a good way
M2tias20 Oct 2024, 20:03
I liked how my screen turned brown when after vacuuming hundreds of butterflies and caught them all at once. I wish the upgrades got even more crazy but it was pretty crazy already. Nice job! I like this kind of over the top crazy but wholesome and chill.
