extremely delightful game that i spent the evening playing when i needed to shut my brain off completely. it worked well to shut off my brain completely, and i was very fond of the mysterious scarab exchange. for the
first 20 minutes, i forgot you could unlock other fields and just spent my time in the grass field catching grasshoppers, ladybugs, and blue morphos. it was delightful.

Very cool ui and art style. The gameplay loop is very smooth with no friction between menus and rounds. The bird merch is very epic.

Honestly, absolutely great game. Discovered it the day of release and I used to have 2 budgies myself, not related but It reminded of them and so I tried it out. Simple yet rewarding gameplay with its many upgrades including the Scarab system which was a really cool bonus. If this game had a endless mode I would totally play it. If you want a light game to enjoy while taking a break from your main games. 10/10 :>

Relatively short game, but a good example of an incremental game that has just enough features to keep the game play interesting right to the end.
If you're an achievement hunter, they're all very easy to get. Just play the game and you'll 100% it

Pretty good game, definitely picks up. I was thoroughly satisfied by the end, wouldn't change a thing. You could definitely beat the game with all achievements in under 2 hours, but I wouldn't refund this gem.

A fantastic little game. Took a few hours of solid playing to finish! Really cute ending. I pin bugs for a living and found all the bugs here to be so charming! Wish there were weevils!

Is it short, yet. But it's the quality that's important. The core loop of catching bugs, selling them, upgrading your shop and repeating is fun. The music is really chill, giving off a Nintendo Wii Shop vibe. Graphics are great. Upgrades are fun and I had a great time with it.
It's fun to just complete a game without having to give up a part of your soul.

Who allowed them to make this game so much fun?
I had no idea this was the same devs as loddlenauts before I started playing but I was so obsessed I couldn't stop playing! The progression is super fun and satisfying and catching the bugs was really fun. I loved the art style as well. Highly recommend this game if you like incremental progression or store sims. It's sooo cute and addicting.
My only con is that the last few areas were super quick to unlock, they could've been dragged out more so I could enjoy it for longer. They clearly worked hard making the art for the bugs, so it'd be nice if we could spend more time with them. There was one location I went to once only.
Finished? Yes
Steam Achievements? Easy!
Steam Deck? Works perfectly. Even more fun than PC.
Rating? 10/10

The gameplay loop is incredibly satisfying, and the bugs themselves are just beautiful.
I am not too keen on insects in real life but games like these help me cope.
