A fun game. I liked the art style and how easy the game was to play. If time allowed, some type of in game tutorial or instructions would be nice. Overall, nice job!

Thanks for the comment! Good idea about an introductory level. Also, I'm a big fan of your video tutorials!

Nice little game. I like the art style and the general game idea. Even though the mechanic is easy go grasp after a bit of try and error, I would recommend to add at least a short description at the beginning. The text which shows the power-ups should not be affected by the "lights out effect". Probably the easiest way to achieve that would be to place it in a separate scene. Some music and sound effects would also improve the game quite a bit.

Congrats to this game! I think it is a good start, but might still need some work.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I definitely hear you regarding adding a description and polish to the game.

Nice effect and graphics! Would like more varied areas and audio.

Hi!

Got to collect 10 birds, but had to collect 5 birds after finishing?

Quite innovative and thematic!

For the visual part, it might be better to bind the camera to the size of the map so that there is no empty black space behind the map.

As for the gameplay, sometimes the birds ran behind trees that I couldn't get behind :), but in principle it even amused me, because it added reality to the gameplay that you can't always climb where someone smaller can :D. Also perhaps I would like to see the start menu, with a description of the controls.

In any case, it's a fun game! Congratulations!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Good points about the camera and the birds getting stuck, we'll see if we can fix that after the jam.

Cool idea! My game has kind of a similar mechanic! Lots of room to add some new mechanics and challenges if you decide to keep working on this!

Developer(+1)

Nice, I just played your game and the mechanic is indeed similar except it's the inverse. Thanks for playing!

Nice game, a little confusing at first because the lack of istructions. A few bug, here and there but still playable. Nice Work!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Fun game! I was a little confused what I was supposed to do but I eventually found out.

Developer

Nice! I'm glad you were able to figure it out.

easy and simple gameplay which is good sometimes, the art was very well made. I would add some more features to make it more interesting and to make it more alive. Also there are some bugs witch collisions. Overall the game is well executed.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Good points about adding more features and fixing the collision bugs.

Interesting game, took a second to figure out I had to collect the little...birds? Creatures?

They sometimes spawn in places you can't get to, so can't complete the level.

Good work though, nice art.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Cute game. No sound freaked me out a bit though

Developer

Thanks for the comment. Maybe we can count that as part of the aesthetic? XD

Submitted

Simple but well executed, the art looks great. It's fun to chase those little dudes around. Nice work, no audio though

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I ran out of time and wasn't able to add audio by the time of submission.

Really like the style of this one. At first I thought the game decription needed to be a little longer, but after playing for a few minutes it turned out to be bretty easy to understand. Love the little creatures you have to collect and the darkness coming in at the edges. So cool 😊 One small problem I found near the end. Sometimes the little Power Pieces manage to scurry into areas impossible to access. Idk why they did it, but it meant I couldn’t get at them 😭 Very nice game regardless. Look forward to seeing some more from you in the future :D

Thanks for playing! You make a good point about the power ups getting trapped in the map, I'll see if I can fix that.

Submitted

Good point! I could have made it more clear. Thanks for the feedback ඞ
