Immaculate vibes, great sprites and animations, loved the song. Would have liked to have heard bug sound effects but I can certainly understand their exclusion. Loved seeing the fly's idle animation.

Very pretty, and fits the theme very well! Was there anything to do besides spawn them and watch though? I couldn't figure out if there were goals or not.

Cute game!
The sprites and animations were great. I particularly liked the flies rubbing their hands together. The mute/unmute music was also slick. I would have liked a little more to do; maybe some objectives or win/lose state?
Cool stuff!

The art is excellent and very on-theme as well! Something that would be fun to have is more ways to interact with the terrarium such as decorations or objects the bugs interact with? Cozy terrarium, had a great time filling it with tarantulas to the point of lagging lol

The artwork is absolutely beautiful, and the animation is touching. I would gladly have this game running on my screen as a dynamic background just for the art. *but, the flies are just food?*

When I realized they were all attacking each other I got a bit sad! Really pretty art!

The game is extremely beautiful and hypnotizing, but I didn't really understand the meaning, so forgive me.

Pretty cool game! I love the idea behind this and the graphics and music go so well together! One thing I noticed though, you can drag the bugs outside of the glass jar, which looks like a bug.

Really fun to add creatures and see how they interact with everything and have them fight each other. I really like the idea. With some more creatures, progression and things to do, this could turn in to a great game. ^^
