Ratings and reviews

I liked it, but there are a few improvements that can be made. Food showing up out of range: its kind of frustrating to see insects flying around at the top of the screen but the honeydew and fly traps don’t reach that far up. Having the insects always in range would reduce that frustration. Menu bar on the bottom: I actually exited the honeydew tutorial by accident because I swiped into the back button, so having a menu bar below the plants that includes that button (and I guess the score as well) would be appreciated. Health not very clear: the deterioration of the plant is a cool health indicator, but adding a health bar below the plant (but above the back button in the menu bar below) would give additional clarity and urgency to the game More skill based instead of guess based: the insects seem to follow partially random flight patterns which works but there isn’t as clear of a progression in skill. Having different insects with different flight patterns (arcs, loops, zigzags, etc) that speed up over time would require the user to calculate where the insect is going to be by the time their plant gets to that location. Other than that, it's a pretty fun game!

The game is really cool and fun. One slight issue with the pitcher plant. I ate the golden spider and it gave me an error and kicked me out of the game. The game is still fun overall.

Could be better but here is an idea why not grow these plants and let the plants attract different bugs and gain prizes.
