I liked the detailed artstyle a lot.  Very simple controls and platforming (in a good way!) I had some issues where I couldn't see the goal in some stages. Otherwise, very good puzzle platforming!  Thanks for your submission!

Fun game! Quick tip: Try to avoid making jumps that are near-misses. This makes it unclear to the player whether they are supposed to be able to make the jump or if they need to try another strategy. Make it very clear whether than jump is meant to be made with the bird's current jumping strength or not. Great job, regardless! The artwork was good and fun to look at.

Developer

thanks  for the constructive critique and good luck!

+ Great concept, really fun idea
+ Love the cute graphics
+ Puzzle elements are well thought out, but slightly let down by...

- ... when you just catch the edge of a platform and you're still pressing jump (cos you want to go higher!) your stamina bar instantly depletes. Maybe adding a timeout to the jump control would help?
- I'm not a fan of the weird post processing effect you've used. I think that the game would look better without it tbh
- If you fall off the edge of the world, it would be better if the level just reset itself - I did that initially and thought that I'd broken the game, and then reloaded the whole thing (I didn't think about pressing R).

Very nice game! Would like to see a post jam version of it with music and more levels :)

Developer

probably gonna add some chiptune or some kind of music and some more music because that is what most of the people said was missing

Fun game with really impressive art. I wish there were a few more levels but I really enjoyed all of the levels you made and I think it was a really well thought out idea. Introducing the bread by starting the level with no energy was really clever and all of the controls were good. I did feel like the jump height was a little inconsistent and in the last level I sometimes wasn't able to jump out of the pit after getting to the bread. Really good job overall!

Developer

Maybe im gonna do a post Gamejam version but who knows but i hope you enjoyed it thanks a lot

Hey, man!

Nice game! Simple and effective, just wish it had a cheeful chiptune to go by :)

The mechanics and style are solid, i love birdo's simple design.

If you chould also check my game, that would be awesome :)

Cheers and good luck on the jam!

The diminishing jump height, based on your stamina level is an intersting new wrinkle to the puzzle platformer style that has made me completely re-think the way I approach navigating levels. Very simple, but very effective, and very well explored in the levels you've created. 

The controls are very responsive, and the cute pixel art visuals suit the style perfectly, especially the chromatic abberation effect at the edges of the screen giving it a nice CRT aesthetic.

The only thing missing, really, is a nice chip tune sound track to complete the pakage!

Pretty nice! The mechanics feel good and I enjoy the puzzles. You need to plan ahead and figure out when to eat bread so you'll have stamina to make it to the end. It's fun! I sometimes found that I had three bars, but I still did a small jump. That could be frustrating and I had to repeat the puzzle many times without really understanding what I did wrong. Still, this is a pretty fun game and polished. Nice work!

Nice platfomer. I like the floatyness of the bird. In most normal platformers I would hate that feel, but here it makes a lot of sense :). Last level is pretty challenging, but I got through the game.

Great effort, especially considering you did art and sound yourself! I like the filter you have on top of it.

I love the pixel art! It's really well made. The little ending that's like "you did it!" is absolutely adorable, and the gamepley mechanic itself is really good! Wish it was a bit longer though ngl

Cute art! I liked the ending screen a lot. Personally I think the graphics would look better without the TV filter, but that's just my taste. Most of the levels were well designed, but I felt like the last level required too precise of a jump to make it. Great job on your entry!

I could only get so far, but it looked soooo good, ma. The fullscreen bug really messes it up, I tried toggling it twice but it wouldn't let me the second time.

I got stuck at some level, and I guess it's because I need something that is offscreen. Best of luck!

Developer

thanks it messes up the whole game honestly that bug. I hope that i can fix it somehow

I enjoyed playing this and i love the visuals but (this may just be happening to me) when i full screened it had the left and right sides cut off. this made it pretty difficult to know where the end of the level was. I did end up playing the whole way through though. The implementation of the theme was very fun. 

Developer

I think you need to fullscreen twice thats a weird bug that had been happening to me idk how tl fix it but thanks a lot i appreciate it
