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.

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

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 ;)
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! ^_^
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 =) !
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.
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.
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!
Really good looking game and love the way the concept plays on the theme!
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!
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 :)
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!
