I love this game!
I’m an adult with anxiety and this game really helps me calm down. The butterflies are detailed and beautiful and the caterpillars are so cute too. I would be so excited if you came out with more games like Flutter too. While I enjoy your other games, I am not a fan of pretending to pet dogs and cats or releasing bird/fish away. Flutter is perfect because you can collect, learn, and grow your sanctuary with minimal pointless tapping, and I’d love to do this with more types of fauna in different environments. Don’t hesitate to download it if you’re a nature lover! I have some suggestions for the developers below and hope to see improvements soon but either way I will keep playing because it brings me a lot of joy! Thanks for considering my feedback:
1) The Netflix version doesn’t rely on ads or purchases which is nice but also limiting. The flutterbucks system needs to be modified for this version so that everything costs significantly less. The 25 bucks/day we are given is not enough to pay for “hurrying”, buying flowers, laying eggs, upgrading pollens, fertilizing the garden, etc. Everything is so expensive. It becomes really difficult to progress and manage my play time efficiently. If I didn’t absolutely love collecting the butterflies in the game, I probably would have lost interest by now. This game should be enjoyable for users who like to play for a longer time once a day too, not just people who can keep playing frequently throughout the day.
2) Since you can’t watch ads, the snail can only be accessed every few hours, which is again limiting and only rewards players who can keep coming back to play throughout the day. To make this worth it, the rewards should be greater overall with more flutterbucks, special attraction flowers, and high amounts of pollen. They should be bundled together so you get a combo of all three each spin. And the rewards for your first spin of the day should be much better than later spins.
3) Visually, though it’s beautiful, it’s quite distracting on a small phone screen. In Starlight it’s much easier to see everything because the darker background gives more contrast. I love the chaos of the butterflies flying around, but when there’s clouds of pollen, little bugs, gifts, flowers, dandelions, and petals, it becomes hard to notice things. Especially when attraction flowers pop up they are difficult to find and I often get confused by the decorative flowers. I would rather just only get frog treats because they are easier to spot.
4) We should be able to give at least 10 free gifts a day, or one free gift/day to all of our friends. There’s no point in charging 2 flutterbucks for people to give each other a twig. It’s frustrating and de-incentivizes the social element of the game.
5) Please give attraction flowers (or frog treats) more often with better flowers. It’s frustrating how infrequently they show up, and how often I keep getting Aztec and Common flowers when I have so many new sets of rarer butterflies left to collect. Missions should give better rewards too. It’s frustrating sending out a butterfly for 8 hours just to get a leaf. I have plenty of unused storage spots already.
6) Please update the daily deals. The attraction flowers you can buy with flutterbucks are not even discounted at all. And you can only buy two with pollen every 24 hours and they’re usually just average flowers. The bargain beetle’s deals are also way too expensive and rarely worth it. This goes back to my first point in this review that everything needs to cost less flutterbucks because the amount we are given is simply not enough.
7) It would be awesome if there was a way to apply “Not” to any 100% attraction flower. For example if I placed a 100% Aztec flower with “Not” applied to it, then it guarantees that I would get any region other than Aztec. It would be really useful to apply to size and Common flowers too.

Great premise
I really like the concept. I am glad that Netflix is including it and its offerings. There are not enough happy games in the App Store. However, I am an adult and the game play moves too slowly for me. I have to wait 30 minutes for a larva, 15 min to feed a caterpillar, without any other game play besides feeding pollen. It is becoming boring and frustrating as I would like to continue game play, but need more interesting things to do. I would envision this app would be perfect for a kid who checks in on the app after periods of time, in which case this would be a 5 star review. I would like to see Netflix include more happy games. In addition, I am confused about the snail and how it improves gameplay it is referenced in pop-ups every so often. I click on the bugs, and they seem to just want or give a single pollen. The developer may want to include an additional instruction about that. Keep up the good work.

Only getting half honeydew
I love the game. I wish I could get more flutter bucks. I’m almost done with the goals, but I have sooooo many new butterflies to collect. But I can’t, because I never have enough flutter bucks.
Also, I notice I only get half of the honeydew that my butterflies produce. Say a butterfly is supposed to give me 100 honeydew, it will only give me 50. Why is that?
I’m probably going to stop playing soon because there’s just not enough opportunity to get more flutter bucks. I would even purchase them if I could. Get that this version is free though and I’m really glad for that. But I’m getting bored.

Fun game but
Fun game but no way to import your stuff from the non Netflix version.
Better then the original
I’ve played the original Flutter(butterflies) and Starlight(moths) and there were always tons of ads and lagging and the game shutting down. I am VERY impressed with what Netflix has done with Flutter and I am hoping they pick up Starlight as well. They offer so much more with their version of it. I almost don’t want to waste my time playing Starlight anymore because Netflix’s Flutter is so much better. Please Netflix take over Starlight, make it better!!!!

Answer to Vampires R Awesome
I see your point and I did research and they’ve partnered with those devs to give an easier/cheaper experience for Netflix subscribers. It’s supposed to be the exact same game. Respectfully <3
Beautiful game
I’m probably not the right demographic for this game…but it’s really beautiful. My teenage daughter thinks it’s a foofoo game but I love it. It’s like pokemon gotta catch them alll. Lol
One thing that bugs me though is that it’s pretty hard to get those butterfly bucks and everything in the game that matters needs them. You could hoarde them sure, but you need them for a ton of things. So I am always running out when I need them the most. And then i have to wait for hours. Which bores me to no end. Like if this game isn’t pay to play, why not change that ? They give you about 50 to play every day but those 50 are not enough. I haven’t been able to complete a single event on time because you have to wait 2 hrs per event for the flowers. Then if you want better flowers you have to pay butterfly bucks. (No real money is asked to pay…all free) but you have to scrounge away the fake money to get anything. Everything costs soooo much butterfly money! Make it cheaper, or give us more money or lower the time. You can’t make it that hard. If it wasn’t for this i would spend hours playing but i get bored bc I have to wait hours for something cool to happen and I forget to log back in. Fix that netflix!

Great but
There shouldn’t be a 5 gifts per day limit since it’s NOT free-to-play. Please allow unlimited gifts!
Lack of ways to obtain in-game currency dead ends the game.
I really enjoyed this game at first. However, after having played it for a month, I am finding the game to be very frustrating. The in-game currency sources for flutter bucks dry up after completing the game’s milestone goals. 25 flutter bucks are given every 24 hours and every 4 hours there is a POSSIBILITY you might get 25 flutter bucks from spinning a wheel of random prizes.
Today, there was an opportunity to buy a really cool butterfly for 350 flutter bucks and a few days ago I was offered another deal for 500. I guess in the original game, flutter bucks are monetized to allow for continued growth involving premium butterflies.
While I love that this game is free through Netflix, it becomes lackluster, frustrating and boring without more opportunities to obtain game currency. I hope the developers consider my input as I would love to continue playing the game in the future if game play is modified.

Why?
This is a copy of the actual game. The only difference is goal and stuff give higher rewards. Why are they copying other people’s games like this? I mean, what do they get from it exactly? :/
