WTMG's Leo Faria: "I get that Flutter Away was made with the best of intentions, but I can’t, for the life of me, even begin to question who is this for. This feels less like a game and more like a competent student project, lasting for about an hour, meant to showcase some mechanics and some cute visuals. As a game, however, I just don’t see its appeal. There is no catharsis, no semblance of a challenge, no rewarding for complete its mundane objectives. Take a few pics of butterflies, interact with a capybara, make a bonfire, and so on. The game is over before you can even start paying proper attention to it."
Games Asylum: "Despite most of the population owning a smartphone with a decent camera, the idea of a photography sim still holds much appeal. This is largely due to developers choosing fun or interesting locations and themes, rather than opting for everyday settings. Flutter Away is a fine example, involving a city dweller spending five days in a tropical rainforest cataloging butterflies – along with whatever else ends up in her viewfinder."
