So, there is no ending or is it a bug?

I helped the cat with the stick, the fox with the butterfly and the flowers, and I reflected in the pond (many times). It looks like I can't do anything more.

Also, I got permanently stuck with the butterfly net.

I am surprised my laptop can run it. It usually just barely survives when it smells a 3D polygon, no matter how low-poly the graphics. It was still like 15-20 FPS, but playable.

In any case, I found this when I searched for the title of my game (if you can call it that). We got the same title, but yours is a lot more gamey and uplifting.

Thank you for playing! The reflection in the pond is in fact the ending. Yeah, there are plenty of bugs as this game was made under a time constraint. Optimization was a big focus while making this game and I am glad your computer could run it smoothly. I will have to check out your game!

I hope you fix the bugs one day, and make it bigger. It's a nice idea.
