You are a little firefly who got out of a glass jar in an abandoned laboratory. The old building is filled with creepy mechanisms, and a broken security system will never let even a small bug out of the laboratory catacombs! Find your way out of the laboratory by teaming up with other fireflies along the way and carefully moving through the intricate tunnels of the scientific complex. Solve puzzles, open doors and beware of anything that may be hiding in the dark. Save as many fireflies as possible to get out!

Wow that was really beautiful. The art is fantastic. Great choice of music as much for the title music as for the in game ambiance.
The fast rotating plateform on level2 was a surprise. Everything was calm and suddenly the camera didn't know what to do.
Got really into it !

Extra cool game, love the universe! Very easy to understand the commands. I think a checkpoint is missing. It's very frustrating to loose or to be blocked when you lose one fireflie, but your game is insane, nice work!

Very atmospheric and beautiful puzzle game!

Interesting graphic, but game controls is very strange and it’s not very clear what you need to do

Cool mechanics with fireflies! The visual is also good, especially for the first Ludum Dare! Well, in general, a good job for the sophomore, hehe :)

Really atmosferic game and really fun puzzle. The only think I didn't like was the lack of a checkpoint. Great job!!!

Amazing game, absolutely beautiful visuals and very very interesting gameplay. Plus points for voice acting.

I liked the atmosphere SO much! The drawing is pleasant. The problem was caused by the fact that the buttons for connecting and combining fireflies do not appear immediately

That game was so cool, and the graphics were great! I really loved the voice acting. But sometimes the bees would just not connect or change, you know?

@aripize , Thank you! We're so glad to hear such words)
About problems with fireflies - yesterday we had known about this. If we're not mistaking problem is from low optimization, cause this game is "fast" project. Maybe in future we will work with this problem and fix it.

Overall, cool game! I really like your graphic style and storytelling. If you can polish it a bit more next time, it would be perfect (but I know every second counts in a jam ^^)

I absolutely loved the voice acting for this game. Good job! But if you want to process the voiceover better next time, I advise you to look for services with AI or Voice Processing. Overall a great game in 3 days. I enjoyed it)

your game looks astonishing! the art is beyond good, and the idea is also very nice. i also liked that you managed to create this feeling of being a small creature struggling for its freedom in a big dark world :) voice acting adds to this feeling, no doubt!

regarding to gameplay i felt that it was quite hard to deal with the first button as there a couple of mechanics are presented and it is super easy to lose your firefly and then you are forced to restart. maybe making this tutorial part less intense and giving a player a bit more time to get used to the controls would be helpful :)

had fun, o4en vse zdorovo poluchilos' :D
