Game Description
You play as a time traveling butterfly, on a mission to gather as much information as you can.

How does your game tie into the theme?
The idea of the game is a time traveling puzzle game, in which you are the time traveler in a chaotic world. The game plays on Chaos theory, also known as the butterfly effect. Here, we tried to show how chaos is created by butterflies behind the scenes.

Someone noticed! Thank you! Here's the tutorial we followed in case you want to learn how to do it. After you do it once, it's just plug and play for most games.

Hey

This is a really interesting idea and the game being 3D makes it even more compelling. The music is perfect and the simple artstyle, calming colours makes it nice and comfortable. 


I did struggle with the game tho. I couldn't figure out the controls properly, everytime I would press glide, none of the direction arrows worked. Combined with the mouse pointer changing the direction made it really difficult for me to do anything so I couldn't even get to any person let alone try the time travelling mechanic. 

I am really interested in the game tho so wouldn't mind seeing an updated version in the future and try this game out again.

Good luck :)

Thankyou so much for giving it a go! There seems to be a few bugs that happen to only some people, we’re working on fixing those and will update the game after the jam :)

Wow there's a lot going on here (in a good way). You did a good job with the dialog, it's not too long and gets the message across well. Would be good to have a log of who is who, maybe icons in the dialog next to names. Eventually I got stuck in a wall. But I had a good time anyway. Great job!!

Developer

Thanks for your kind comment! Sorry about the wall. You can check the character's names, their schedules, and get a hint about their quests in the pause menu! We also wanted to add portraits to the pause menu and dialogues, but unfortunately we ran out of time. We'll expand on the game after the jam is over, though!

Liked the concept and movement is pretty great, unfortunately I got stuck into something and couldn't continue, but still, good job!

Developer

that seems to be happening to quite a few people, it’s not a bug that always happens but when it does you can’t go on sadly, thankyou so much for playing!

Loved floating around the house and talking to everyone.

Was a cute game. We liked the butterfly character. The time travel to complete everything was a nice mechanic.

Developer

Thanks for the nice comment! We just hope someone gets to complete Albert and Ollie's time travelling quests.

Wow! What an original game concept! I really enjoyed flying around as a butterfly to the chill music

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, it's all chaos theory :)

I really like what I see here but unfortunately every time I try to play the camera just spins constantly, making it unplayable :(

This looks like a possible contender for my favorite game of the jam though. I see a really unique idea with a lot of originality and potentially a well executed implementation.

I would classify my problem under “game breaking bug” and vouch for an eligible patch. However, I’m not seeing anyone say they have this problem, so not sure why I am.

Developer(+1)

I'm really sorry that's happened to you :( to be honest you're the first to tell us that. 

Unfortunately, indeed our bugs are not considered 'game-breaking' so at least until the end of the votes we'll have to leave as is. 

Come by and check it afterwards !

Developer

wow  favourite jam game, that’s high praise, thankyou so much

Really cool game! I like the chill vibes and the cute animals. It's fun to fly around as a butterfly and explore the world. I didn't get super far cuz the game would freeze when I tried to talk to people sometimes in the web version, but I enjoyed my time with the game. Great work!

Developer

Thank you, Nick ! 

We'll be polishing the game after the jam, we hope you can play it once it's less buggy !

I love the cute atmosphere and exploring the environment! The music is pleasant and understated. 

Developer(+1)

thank you so much

Submitted(+1)

This was great! I actually had a lot of fun just flying around as a butterfly. The way you designed the levels was great, sometimes flying indoors can feel like you are boxed in but not here. It felt free and open so kudos on making the flying fun. The music was fantastic and really set the mood. I also got bugged out ;) in the basement but overall this was very charming and fun! Well done!

Developer

Thankyouuu!

Super interresting mechanic!

That is a wildly original game and honestly I really like it. Making a 3d game is super hard in such a short timespan so amazing job for creating it!

Developer

Thank you for your kind comment! We were really inspired by the theme, and decided to play on the butterfly effect as if butterlies were the ones controlling the chaos behind the chaos theory. 

Developer

thank you so much , we tried our best and we are so glad you liked it:)

great little short game, and the music was just so pleasant really enjoyed my time with this game

Developer

Thank you for your message ! 

We'll try to update this game in the following months :) 

If you want to download and use the music for your projects you can check the free music pack on my itch page :)

What a lovely game, although I think it bugged out (pun intended) when I spoke to one of the bees in the basement and I couldn't progress from then on. The music is great and the concept is fantastic (and gives me Outer Wilds vibes). Unfortunately I couldn't choose anything but the first dialogue option when speaking to NPCs. I also really like the consideration of not having ceilings to allow the player to fly between rooms over the doorway, it was a nice QoL bonus. Nice entry guys, well done

Developer(+1)

Thankyouuuu!

Thank you for your comment ! 
We'll try to work on the bugs after the jam and try to do something nice and cozy with it :)

Hey there!, I played your game and I really loved the experience, the music is very relaxing, the game would be a lovely and immersive experience if made available in full-screen mode I think. I did run into the issue mentioned by EnviousJelly but as they said it isn't frequent. The graphics are also very cute, this is the type of game one would play after returning home from a particularly stressful day at work/school/college, etc. (The bees are my favourite characters)

Developer(+2)

Thank you so much for playing! we'll be fixing the bugs as soon as the jam voting period is over :)

Hey, tried playing your game. Really enjoyed the music and flying around as a butterfly but I kept running into issues where I'd talk to people and it would lock me in place with nothing happening, even time travelling wouldn't fix it. (It would only happen some of the times I tried talking to them)

Developer(+1)

Oh, we're really sorry. That happens when you talk with a character and we can't handle the dialogue. We will fix that as soon as the jam ends.
