Genuinely Lovely Game

I’ve loved this game since I was a kid, and I love it even more now as an adult. This game is genuinely full of magic and is such a breath of fresh air for games nowadays. It’s so relaxing and the art is adorable. I cannot say enough positive things about this gem.

Best butterfly game ever

I really enjoy all of the realistic butterfly species in this game.My only piece of feedback is that since I am getting so many event species, every time I get an expand my sanctuary, I immediately loss that space to all of the event species I am discovering. This leaves no room for me to discover or perfect any core species. Other than that, I really like your games. I also have Pondlife, splash, birdlife and flutter starlight! Anywho, have an awesome day!

Overall great and very educational game!

Love the game! It has helped me learn the different species on my own since my uni doesn’t provide an entomology course anymore! Only issue is some of the butterflies hindwings are inverted, like on the Mabille’s Red Glider and the Tibetan Cupid.
