Shutterbug
Shutterbug is a bug photography game about the joy of going out into the woods and discovering pleasant little critters.
One of your parents broke your favourite camera, but they've made you this new one that is built to scale! Show them the joy of the micro world, and maybe they'll find bugs a bit less nasty!

Doesn't seem to work in Edge. Is this a known issue?
really love everything about this!! brilliant work from everyone!
This is insanely impressive, gameplay was overall fun and made me happy. Whilst gameplay was short (its a gamejam so that's irrelevant) I was fascinated by the mechanics the game focused on with recognising the position of the browser window and orientation.
Mind was blown.
Loved it! I don't know how you managed to do it in the browser but well done 🤯
Visual are beautiful, and I love the detail of the focus blur.
One minor critic: I was a little frustated by not being able to take the photo myself, ajust the framing and all. But I understand it may have made the controls more complex.
What a creative design!
How do I move the camera? Moving the window doesn't do anything.
This is really cool!
incredible work! so creative
Incredibly creative.
A relaxing and highly creative game with a lot of agency. I also enjoyed reviewing the photos at the end of each level. Well done! :3
Wow, this is an amazing idea! Very well executed. The art is also very beautiful. Well done!
PS. I'm curious how did you identify that I'm dragging my browser without resizing it.
