How does the game fit the theme?
It is impossible for anything in this game to go wrong. Therefore, nothing can go wrong.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
House tileset provided from https://tilation.itch.io/16x16-small-indoor-tileset, slightly modified. Two songs are not by me, but are under public domain (one through NCS, one through Pixabay). Both can be searched up. One other song was made by no one. Good luck finding it online. Font PetMe64 is available for free at https://www.kreativekorp.com/software/fonts/index.shtml

Pretty neat game. It'd be nice if the movement speed was a little faster tho. A title screen would've also been nice. I liked the overall vibes of the game, and the trees fading out when you get near them was a great touch!
A nice small relaxing game. I like how the instructions have multiple options to use and the game highlights any interactive objects.
I do think the movement speed could have been better though
Good luck
I enjoyed it a lot! Choosing music is very nice touch, but what I liked most is my birdy friend. Very relaxing and cute game, simple enough, interesting enough, but so charming. I thought I lost my birdy at the lake, but it looks like just went for a short bath :)
Simple and relaxing experience, well done. I think the movement is a bit clunky though, it could be faster.
Small but relaxing game. End up at those nice view with little birdy friend was a good experience. Good job.
The general tone of the game is nice. It's truly a tranquil game. There is not that much to do but still the whole vibe is quite nice. I do like that there are music to choose from, and I stupidly choose the second one, and that's very eerie, making the game something else entirely.
For some criticism, I'd say the character walks too slowly, but I guess in a game like this, it maybe intentional. There is also a bug where the bird clips through the ground near the pond. But other than that, the game is quite well made. Keep up the good work!
The game was pretty nice, I think the only thing that felt off about the game was the really slow movement speed, besides that good job!
The art on this game is nice, especially the how the world is fleshed out to the forest and the pond. Is there a way to relax? (this question may or may not be game-related)
Also, I really liked the way you made the music in the game customisable with that radio.
I loved exploring with the dubstep music in the bg :O lil birb friend was cute! If you continue after the jam, I think itd be really nice to have the birb move as fast as the player :3 Also, the radio menu was really epic! Cool game!
I like that you went for something simple for this jam. What could fit the theme better than a game that's impossible to lose? (Though I must admit I was thinking it might be possible for me to get lost XD but that didn't happen all that much.) Birb friend is cute. Nice work.
Loved it!
Simple but fun, i think that making the player faster or it having the ability of running would definitely make the game better, iloved the Birb friend and the effect that makes the trees semi-transparent when you are behind it
I got to the relax part and i don't know if thats the end but i got to there and i couldn't find anything more to do, but overall, great game, literally nothing can go wrong!
Nice and simple game! I liked the Birb friend. Faster movement would greatly enhance the game. Well done!
Summary: The game dialogue was good. Was quick and fast to complete. Very understandable on what to do.
Improvements:
- Sound setting sliders.
- Consistent art (matching same borders and tilemaps), polishing y-sort for characters.
- Player movement and replace player sprite.
- Indication for player that the game has ended if you are doing a linear storyline.
- Title screen art & webpage art.
What I'd like to see:
- More levels.
- improved characters art.
Fun game, fits the theme really well. But it could have a faster movement.
I don't know if that's just me but I can't shake the feeling that there's something terribly wrong with this game. Like I am cursed now or something.
Otherwise, terribly chill and tranquil game, my mind is at peace now (unless I die in my sleep at the hands of sleep paralysis demon conjured by this game). 5/5.
Overall, this game is kinda cute. If the movement can be faster, then will have a better experience exploring the world.
Does the game ends here? I really really wanted to explore this beautiful world more. 
Cool, love the radio lol. Holding space bar for an even number of frames opens and then closes the menu. Very peaceful, loved the trees
What a cute, simple and charming game! I love how you turn the Jam theme on its head.
I find the story--especially the one with the birb friend--very endearing
I do have some feedback, I wish you move just a little bit faster, and like others have said, I wish the camera wasn't so jittery, but other than that good job!
