Firefly Haven

Very fun game to grind in a day or two. Good game for achievement hunters :P The bug trophies are cute. The cottage core feel of the home is cozy. The dialog was sweet and enduring. Overall 10/10 game.

Good for 4~ hours of gameplay. There's a bug that hasn't been fixed in a couple months but it isn't gamebreaking.

J'ai passé un très bon moment sur Firefly Haven. C'est un petit jeu incrémental où on capture des insectes qui génèrent des revenus passifs, ce qui permet ensuite d'acheter des améliorations pour en capturer encore plus. Le gameplay reste basique, mais il est efficace. Le pixel art est vraiment très beau et il y a pas mal d'environnements différents à découvrir, ainsi qu'une grande variété d'insectes à collectionner. L'ambiance est vraiment reposante, capturer des insectes en boucle est une expérience étonnamment très satisfaisante et relaxante. D'ailleurs, les bruitages dans les menus sont plutôt agréables. C'est juste dommage qu'il n'y ait qu'une seule musique, même si elle reste agréable à écouter. Concernant la progression, l'arbre de compétences est correct sans être particulièrement original. Le début de jeu est un peu lent, notamment à cause du système de prestige qui nécessite de trouver des insectes rares dont le taux d'apparition est très bas au départ. Heureusement, une fois les premiers prestiges passés, la progression devient plus rapide. Un petit défaut est le PNJ qui intervient régulièrement quand on revient au hub : à part pour parler des nouveaux décors, il dit les les mêmes dialogues en boucle. Il m'a fallu un peu moins de 4 heures pour le finir. La plupart des succès s'obtiennent très facilement, seul celui demandant de récolter 100 000 insectes demande un peu plus de temps de jeu. Pour 3€, c'est un bon petit jeu incrémental qui vaut vraiment le coup et que je recommande sans hésiter.

It's alright enough for a short incremental game. It more or less fulfills it purpose, but I wouldn't say that it is winning any awards anytime soon. It is enough for a positive review, but you can definitely tell a noticeable difference in quality across the board between this game and many of its peers in what is now a pretty competitive subgenre. The gameplay and progression is quite similar to Digseum in a lot of ways, with the main difference between them outside of general quality being the different minigame you play inbetween buying upgrades. The difference is more than big enough to justify it, but where the execution on said gameplay was near perfect in Digseum, its a bit less than perfect when it comes to this one. It is rough around the edges. Art, music, especially the early game progression, you probably won't find yourself having anything particularly special to say about it by the end. Despite that though, I wouldn't say that it was a bad experience playing through it. It did its job, and while the subgenre of the short incremental is ever growing, there is still a decent possibility you will eventually have played them all, or at least all the ones better than this one. In any case, there are many, many, worse things to spend 3 bucks on out there.

It was definitely fun enough to deserve a thumbs up, especially since I got it on sale. The upgrades are pretty simple—nothing special, mostly just number boosts—and the pacing felt a bit uneven at times, though that might have been due to my own planning. The graphics are cute and fit the vibe well. My biggest issue was with the mushroom level. It kept crashing if I stayed there too long, which got annoying. Thankfully, all bugs can also be found in the final level, so I didn’t really need to go back. Once I had a good catch radius and regeneration rate, I could just alt-tab and let it grind in the background while doing other things. Even though people say there are lots of games like this, I actually haven’t found many that can be completed in 3–4 hours and still have a premise I enjoy. For what it is, this was a fun and satisfying little game.

Pretty fun and a great value for the price. The progression is a little odd, especially with there not really being any need to prestige more than twice. My only other complaint would be that eventually the screen being spammed with bugs kind of removes anything special or unique about them, and takes away from the atmosphere and coziness of the game. Overall it was a fun experience.

Nice short game. Be careful not to play too long. The longer you play the more the game strains to load after catching bugs.
