Very cool game! Definitely noticed that sometimes the butterflies can show up right in front of you which made for some quick points. I liked the use of the sounds that the butterflies create to locate them.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback. Yes there are some known bugs indeed that could be improved on! ^^

Very cool concept, had some trouble turning with the fact that butterflies can spawn literally behind you made it a lot hard on some run to find them

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! The controls were not the best I agree, I've changed them since to make movement more fluid and natural

Loved the fact that I had to use the game audio to find the butterflies!  Great idea! I recommend adding a basic hud so the player can see how many butterflies he/she has collected and the remaining time. Very interesting sumbisiion! Great job!

Thanks for the feedback! I thought about the HUD but I wanted to keep information and distraction to a minimum. I like the idea of game that you can play with your eyes closed

Cool idea to use mostly audio only. I really liked that there was a warmup period before it got dark. I think it would be nice if those didnโ€™t count though for the score.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, that's a good idea!

Although it's a very simple concept, the audio was incredibly well done and made for some very interesting gameplay.

Super cool game! I love the idea of minimizing the number of senses the player can use. Great use of the theme. Ever since you said the idea for this I was excited and you delivered! 

Developer

Thanks a lot!! Looks like you delivered too! Sadly I don't have windows but the graphics look great
