Hello, all game developers, I made a little fun game name "Greedy Firefly", where you control a flying firefly to move around maps and collect diamonds. The goal is to collect all diamonds avoiding traps like spiders, spider webs and other traps to activate the escape gate.
All the coding, artwork, music are created by me. I used Love2d framework for this game. Feel free to comment was the game fun or not ? How can I improve for future projects? Thank you and enjoy....

Is this an intentional rage game?
Cause this is basically waiting down an annoying counter just to instantly die.
Maybe make the start level easier? I gave it like 20 tries and i am fed up.

Oh and why is there no .love file to grab?

I just played the exe from this one with no issues.
