I have no idea whether donationware hosting is considered acceptable for this contest?
The idea of using real-world photographs in this context is cool, very unique. Makes for a big game file though.
Not much in the way of gameplay though, and I think you'll struggle to get interest from game players/developers with a topic like that.
You did create that bee sprite during the 48 hours, right?
Nice that you used sound, but a single continuous buzzing sound adds little and gets annoying fast.
What the hell was that?!

As much as I like the idea of using real world photos to build the universe of your game, I don't see how it really relates to the Connecting Worlds theme. I flew around until I found the Lizard, but then I was not able to move up & down anymore with him, so I had to stop there, I'm guessing it's a bug.
Lol how can I play as an ant? :D

This... Is... probably most impresive game here! I really like that abstract art and sound!

nice gfx :D
the sound goes really good with everything
I got bored after 5 minutes of flying around. Like the other people have said, it's a really cool idea to use connecting photographs as the backdrop, but in the time I played I reached literally no gameplay.

Really cool and I loved the art style.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I've added some play tips to the game's description and turned of donations on the itch.io page.

Liked the transitions and the last life-form was really cool.
Nicely nice !
Amazing game with a beautiful concept. Imaginative use of the theme.

Cute! I the lo-fi style of putting iconic on top of photographs; it plays well with the sound effects to produce a unique gameworld. I also think the circle of life metaphor is pretty clever and ties in well with the theme :D
Very nice. I loved to explore your garden and change my form. Good idea and well implemented. Also cool and fitting sounds. I don't really see the theme in this game.
Original concept :) The bee is a little slow for a bee ;) controlling the lizard is fun

That was freaking scary and disgusting, but I like the graphics and how it shows the cycle of life.
BTW: if your garden is really like this, I will stay away from your house! ;)
Raised two plants just to check if the second one is going to give different colors to flowers.. Nope. :) Nice entry.
