Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Скріни в Стім виглядають не погано, бо не часто ігри дають тобі політати, повзати чи стрибати дрібними представниками тваринного світу серед красивих краєвидів. Мікросвіт, нектар, метелики звучить як казка для любителів природи. Але вже на перших хвилинах тримай сюрприз! Зазвичай у іграх все гарне поруч, а на відстані лажа, а тут навпаки! Повзеш, під тобою і навколо гола земля без трави, текстур і нормального ґрунту. Наче ти в бульбашці PS1, де все ледь намальовано. А от на відстані раптом вимальовується більш-менш пристойний світ… рівня PS3. Рухаєшся і ця "бульбашка" повзе за тобою. Виглядає так по дурному. Анімації окремий вид знущань. Метелики, кульбабки, богомоли та всі інші комахи рухаються так, ніби напилися забродившого нектару і тепер страждають від важкого похмілля. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3696676781 Геймплею як такого тут немає. Все вкрай просто, якщо не сказати примітивно. В режимі лайфстайл ти просто повзеєш/летиш, лівим кліком жереш листя чи п'єш нектар. Нуль виклику, нуль напряму, нуль пояснень. Камера та керування незручні, локації не красиві. Так, гру створив один розробник-індус, і деякі можуть використати це як виправдання. Але як на мене це взагалі не аргумент, щоб випускати такий сирий продукт, який виглядає настільки дешево. Підійде хіба що дітям до 5 років, але навіть для такої аудиторії існують набагато якісніші представники. А це скоріше крива технодемка, яку забули довести до ладу.

I want to be able to recommend this game - I really do. We live at a time where loving and learning about bugs is so important and good, fun, science-based games are so necessary. There just aren't enough games that teach people (especially kids!) about bugs and their ecosystems and life cycles, and in that vein, I have nothing but good things to say about the models and animations. The lifecycles themselves are accurate and well presented. I like the challenges which teach you about the different dynamics the animals have with each other, such as how the diets of the predators change as they mature. But... And these are big buts. I have played through the survival levels for all of the females of the major bugs now and there are big problems holding this game back from being really, really good at what it does. * The controls are clunky. Not just a little clunky - REALLY clunky. There's no 'getting good' at this game, because the rules on certain mechanics (e.g., jump distances and angles on the jumping spider) are unclear or non-existent. What works one time won't work the next time. This makes certain challenges, like the jumper obstacle course, way, way harder than they should have been. * The AI is clunky. The movement and behaviours of other insects is jerky and bizarre and hard to follow. Sometimes predators will just manifest next to you for no apparent reason even though you ran away from them and there should be distance between you. Prey that should not have noticed you per the game's own rules will vanish into thin air. * The sound and visuals can be incredibly overwhelming. Contrast on the colours is incredibly high and can be quite jarring to look at. It would have been nice to at least have sliders for this. * FOV is way too low for a first-person game where you are an insect; looking around is incredibly difficult and this does not help situations where predators appear out of absolutely nowhere. You basically have to rely on the in-game radar telling you a predator is nearby rather than being able to strategically move away from where they are so you can stay close to resources you need. I really want to recommend this game but unfortunately it is just not very fun due to the aforementioned issues. It might be fun for a quick single playthrough and I do see a use-case for it as an educational tool for younger kids as a one-off but as a full game that I as an individual player am trying to achievement hunt on, it is unfortunately not very fun.
I've been searching for good science based animal survival game and this one seemed perfect. I have to say the life cycles are really well presented and executed. Unfortunately I have to agree with other reviews saying that the controls can clunky. The awkwardness of animals' movement, especially around the plants, takes away most of the immersion for me. I also had to restart my first run as I got stuck in pupa stage, unable to do anything. I returned the game. I find the premise itself to be good, just wish it delivered a smoother playing experience.
This game is super cute and actually goated. Like an insect documentary simulator. Live little bug lives, do bug things, fight with your spider siblings over foods. Eat leaves, become the hungry caterpillar. Drink nectar. Drunk on nectar.
Movement felt very clunky. Sadly, the game itself its not for me.
This game is really good, but understand this seems more of an educational thing than a game. Not as issue for me. The one negative I will say is that the movement/camera could be a lot better. I've only played ground based insects. Maybe butterfiy controls are better.
This is one of the best games I have ever played. But when are the birds coming? Not trying to be pushy, btw, :)
This game would be great for showing your little kid and introducing them to bugs and getting them excited about nature and things. But as a video game intended for enjoyment, I can't say it particularly delivers. The world looks nice enough and the science seems correct and competent, however it's just not fun. It's not as bad as actual homework don't get me wrong, but it's not very "fun". It's like playing a survival game with no story. Just empty progression. I am not sure if anything would really fix it either, since the game seems to be doing exactly what it intends to do. It's just that intention doesn't lead to engaging gameplay. Interesting and informative, yes. But fun? Sadly, no. check out "crustyoldhuman" on twitch and youtube https://www.twitch.tv/crustyoldhuman
