This game was created as part of Secret Santa Jam, a game jam where developers make a small “gift” for a randomly assigned giftee. The goal of the jam is not just to finish a game, but to craft a personal experience, made with intention and care.

At its core, the game was designed as a collection and base manager experience. You wander through gentle fields, capture tiny creatures (It began as an insect collector, but spiders disagreed with that definition 😄), and decorate your base.

Early in development, the idea was to let players decorate their home using the captured creatures themselves. As the project evolved and time became limited, this was simplified into unlocking static decorations, since it was much quicker to implement.

I hope this little world feels warm to explore and brings you a smile, Seiborg 🍂.

Explore the fields and gently capture critters as you fill your Field Journal.
Aiming closer to the white circle will help you capture them more quickly, but missing too many times may cause a critter to slip away.

Each species comes in different colors and size variations. Finding them all is an optional goal, meant for those who enjoy completing the journal.

Capturing critters rewards you with experience (shown as a flower icon), which unlocks new decorations for your base.

When you’re ready, return home and use Customize to place your decorations and make the space your own.

Hi omg this game is so cool and cute and I'm gona make sure no bugs are left in the wild (IM KIDDING I MEANT IN GAME,  I LOVE BUGS)

I also love how bouncy and flowy all the art and animation is; it's so soft and pretty !!! Amazing work holy moly !!!

This is such a nice game! Fantastic aesthetic, even down to this itch page! The bug catching is simple but smart, I've surprisingly not seen another minigame like it. one of my favorite details was walking into a tree and then the leaf particles that spawned were the correct color of the tree! It goes without saying, but the artwork (including UI) is just really nice and the UX is very nice as well! This is a really solid game, I do think it would've been nice to be able to display bugs as decorations, but that's all I could think of as a suggestion, awesome work!

Hi Woodland, Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful feedback! I’m really glad you enjoyed the aesthetic and the bug-catching mechanic, it means a lot that you noticed small details like the leaf colors!

Thanks for taking the time to play and share your thoughts!
