Love the idea of this game. In fact, I have another game just like it, but with frogs instead. Unfortunately, this game is kind of bad. The art style isn't consistent. Some of the rarer caterpillars/butterflies, genuinely just look like they were deep fried. Unfortunately, it kinda looks slapped together. I hate to be mean. But I absolutely love butterflies, and this is just kind of bad.
