I'm sorry to say this. The photographing system is strange, I don't understand how to take a good photo. It would also be good to add the possiblity to discard bad photos. The lack of audio is also a big issue. The graphics aren't bad though and the capturing minigame uses the Button Smash wildcard well. I think that this game is unfinished. Polish it after the end of the jam and it'll be good!

Don't apologize haha, I'm glad for the feedback lol. Anslean intended for the photo system to offer more points for photos that were nicely zoomed and centered, but we had some problems with it in the final hours of the jam that I don't think got fully fixed. Discarding photos is a great suggestion! I really wanted to add audio, but I ran out of time for it. Every jam I say I'll do audio and never get to it, maybe next time I'll start with that XD
I do intend to polish the game later! There's an extra biome and wing patterns for bugs that didn't quite make it into the game, a few bugs we missed fixing, and of course the audio. I also plan to spruce up the visuals - I'd love to animate some of the terrain elements to add more life to the game, and add some more options for random bug features.
