How does you game fit the theme?
As the birds thinking "That human looks kinda odd" to the scarecrow, it's somewhat refers to "it's not real" :) kinda..

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All the code and sprites are made from scratch. The music and sound effects are from internet, though

i loved the little nosy birds. i really appreciate when games do little things like this for a start button instead of a lame "click and you start the game" - your take on the theme is uniqe, so bonus points for that. i too would wonder "whys this fake human here?? there isnt even any crop for me to eat, who put this here?"  - also your games icon fits the game quite well, its these little polish bits, and also the high quality birb animation i love to see.

Developer

Tysm!!!

Yeeeees, I love the artstyle. The gameplay is simple and the overal game just reads well, very intuitive. Also soundeffects are spot-on and the animation style so satisfying. The connection to the theme is a little far fetched but the fact that you made up a little story for that completely makes up for it in my opinion. Overal a great example for an amazing gamejam submition. Great job!

10/10 would play again ;)

Thannkk yoouu! It's very kind of you to say so! I tried to pick the game idea asap but resulted just  far fetched, though. But that's not a big problem since I'm happy with the result :) Thank you again!

Very fun game :)

Developer

Thank youu!!

I have never seen something like this! I love how you only made the birds and the score colored, this way the player knows where to look at. The theme was not really there I think but maybe I'm just missing something.

Nonetheless, great game with really clean and catchy visuals!

I would love to have you playing mine too, if you don't mind of course! ^_^

Developer

No, you didn't miss a thing! The theme ain't there, indeed :) Thanks for playing and your kind words!

Really good idea ! The theme is a bit far-fetched, but I can see why it fits, so why not ^^. The game was simple, but very, very, polished : the animations, the sound, the interactive menu, the difficulty... Congratulations =) !

Developer

Thank you! Yeah I know the idea is far-fetched, but that's the only thing I can thought at the time :) Also thanks for your kind words!

RATED!, nice and simple, good job, I also like how you interpret the theme, kinda... :)
 
also, will you help me rate mine too? I'd really appreciate it if you do, Thanks! :)

Good concept! I love it. It feels exhilarating when I take slingshot and shoot birds.

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Nice one. I could not figure out how to start the game (I already had shot everywhere but at the startbutton), but when I read here in the comments how to do it, I really enjoyed the idea and the game.

Developer

Yeah I need to make some clue there. Thanks for playing!

the game is simple but fun and addicting to play, nice one

Developer

Thaank youu!

Really cute game! I think it would be more fun to play on mobile than on PC like I did ^^ but it was still fun nevertheless! Keep up the great work!

Developer(+1)

I worked pretty much to made it playable on mobile hehe. Happy that someone played it there. Thank you!

Cute game and wonderful animations! Love the idea of having to shoot the start game option.

Developer (1 edit)

I figured it out at the late stage in development. Glad it works well!

nice game ~ CUTE BIRDS !! ^-^

Glad you like it!

Cool game. I would recommend putting the slingshot slightly higher, my mouse kept going of game screen and not shooting the rock. Other than that, good game. :)

Developer

Yeah, I do feel that the slingshot is too low, but when I played it on my phone it feels fit.. so it's a dilemma for me :(

Submitted(+1)

Maybe have a system that checks what device the game is on and positions it accordingly?

Developer

Hmm good idea! But unfortunately I've searched about it and it won't work on mine cuz it's on html (so it will always return html anywhere I run the game)

Maybe I could get the screen height and place it at some fixed ratio... I'll try to work on but later on my free time. Thanks for ur suggestion!

Submitted(+1)

cool. :)

Really good looking game and love the way the concept plays on the theme!

Developer

Thank youu!!!

Poor birds! haha

The game looks great! The controls play really well too. Hitting the birds felt satisfying and I found myself playing a few rounds after my first one. Great stuff!

Developer

wow thanks a lot dude

Submitted(+1)

Simple, but would work great as a mobile game. Really nice work on the art and animations. Only feedback I can think of is some powerups floating by that you could hit would spice up the gameplay a bit. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks! I do think the game to be a mobile one. 

I agree that the game feels a bit plain after playing for a while, tho, n maybe some floating powerups would be great! (n also some stronger birds) Thanks for your feedback!

Loved the game and the hand-drawn art you made, absolutely amazing! If I were making your game though, I'd add a trajectory path so you can see where you're gonna hit, I kept missing the birds 😅

Developer (1 edit)

Hey, thx for playing my game, n also for the kind words!

About the trajectory path, I didn't add it on purpose. It used to be there, but the game became too easy, though, so I remove it (I want the game to be a lil bit challeging)

Btw thx for your feedback!

Submitted(+1)

I couldn't play the game since there were no birds. Sorry.

Developer

Really? Did you hit the play button first?

Submitted(+1)

Oh now I get it you have to hit it with the sling. I just pressed it and the sling shot passed it. Maybe you can move the button into the middle so that you always hit it? Or add some sort of feedback once the player has shot a few stones to let him now he has to hit it. Anyway I love the difficulty ramp up and shooting the sling feels satisfying :)

Developer

Thank you for come back and playing! About your feedback, I've made that if the player just tapping the screen, the slingshot always shoot straight to the top and hit the title, and the title will play like a pressed animation and color change. I thought it's enough for the player to firgure out what to do next.

I guess I've to make it clearer, thanks for your feedback!
