In the food chain, we are all connected. The butterflies eat from the flowers, but the birds eat the butterflies, but the foxes eat the birds.
In "The Circle Of Life" your place in the food chain keeps changing. You are the purple butterfly and have to eat from the flowers. But don't get eaten by the birds. But then you are a blue bird and have to eat the butterflies. But don't get eaten by the fox!

Pretty good, if repetitive. Though it is possible to reach a state in which it is impossible to finish a level.
@DaGamesta true, you just have to eat those butterflies faster, especially some of them on the right before the other bird eats them. :-)
I like the interpretation of the theme. Being a developer of educational games, I definitely enjoyed the concept and gameplay.
Played through this many times, I like it. The sound is adorable!
Interesting take on the theme. Like the colourful graphics. Would have liked the chance to play as the fox to bring it full circle :)
@bluemaroo3 Yes but who eats the fox? If I keep working on this I'd like to add a fly, grasshopper, and frog.
Hehe this is sweet. And a great interpretaion of the theme. I love the om nom nom sounds :)
The sounds man... the sounds... (very funny game!)
I like the progression and use of the theme.
Hi there. Very cute game. Good use of the theme. Loved the nomnomnom sound, or at least that's what I think it was... Good job!
Interesting take on the theme. I just loved the nom-nom-nom sound!
Nice take on the theme! I included it in part 21 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/5xO0Ucfr9co
I want to play as the fox! The bird gets pretty hard, when the other bird is stealing your stuff!
Also, loved the sound effects.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Pretty different take on the theme compared to everyone else. Interesting game however.
