So peaceful and tranquil and fun! I did find myself wishing I could also move up and down maybe a few rows up or down and really wish I could just hold the key down to keep moving.

Thanks, Caz. I did consider allowing holding down a key but I felt it would make things a bit too easy then :)

Ah yes it would have made it easy. One thing I remember reading is that try not to allow the player to blame the game for their lack of skill. So I would say if you can make it easier by better controls do that. Then think about making it more difficult in another way.

I take your point but since it's effectively a Match 3 game where the speed increases over time and the number of butterfly species also increases, if you have any other ideas, please let me know.

You have to be careful also with what seems easy as the developer might not be so easy for the player since you most likely have been playing it a lot while testing. Ah here's an idea I just thought of! In the easiest mode allow the player to hold the key to move. Then as it progressively gets harder make them start hitting the key to move. So that might be a good way to make it more difficult.
