I find character control a little hard to manage, especially with the maximum upgraded jump. It throws you right at the ceiling with just a light press of the spacebar. I think adding some kind of charge jump, or making the height of the jump dependent on how long the spacebar is pressed, would make it easier to control. Also, the movement has some inertia, which I'm not sure about, but it makes movement a little harder.
I also thought that nets could be used to catch lamp creatures or bees, but I lost 10 nets trying to catch them. I'm not sure how to improve this aspect, or if this is a problem at all.
Get small bug at the end, when door of cabin move me a little, so I was outside.
Huge work overall!

Looks great, sounds great (although I think ambient could benefit from being directional).
PS. thank you for not adding spiders)

## Incredible
It's beautiful, it's interesting, the atmosphere is crazy...
If I had to nitpick, I'd say it needs a net and flare counter.
And maybe slightly enlarge the trigger to catch smaller or flying insects...
**But honestly, it's just perfect.**
*Well done!*
Dude, if you really created this in 3 days, then you're a fucking genius. It's clear who and what inspired you, white knuckle baby. Keep up the good work, you're damn talented. 10 geese in a tube out of 10
