I LOVE this game. It starts a bit slow but get's really fun after the 4th or 5th bird. Awesome work

How does you game fit the theme?
You can only fly so high on your own, but with friends by your side, you can fly as high as you want.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Most of the SFX are from freesound.org, all of which are completely copyright free. I made all the art assets and wrote all the code from scratch.

Veeery cute design. Simple idea but works great. However, it's a bit slowy moving. Great job in general! Come to check my game as well.

Beans, Ghosts & MagicVery easy to pick up and go. I like that the extra birds you collect impact the gameplay. I was hoping to got to space, but I hit the max bird limit before then :P.

Island AdventureVery unique idea, I would only add something to let me know how far I've come. Other than that, with some art polish , this game is great!

By Your SideThis is the graphic style that I originally wanted to go for but I'm not good enough to make simplicity look that complex. Great work.
The gameplay is calm and relaxing and this was an overall positive experience.

Ocean CleanupRelaxing game,
it takes a couple of tries to understand what's going on, but once you do is quite fun.
I'd add some UI to say how far we went + how high we went, maybe with some leaderboard system including maybe the number of other birds you found along the way. This would add some replayability to the game. I also think the collider/trigger to "collect" other birds is a bit too small, maybe make it a bit larger or make other birds in the flock also able to trigger the "collection"
The art looks nice and the music fits well. Good job!

The night GuardI like how simple the mechanics and graphics are. It's very well done, and exactly what it needed to be. I felt the player movement was just a little too sluggish, but that did make the game feel very calm. Great job!

Passed & PresentI love this so much. I initially thought “oh okay this is one of those “see how far you can go before you hit the ground things, okay” and died on my first attempt and decided to give it another go. Just when I was started to get the hang of it but got pretty close to the ground, I saw another bird and the game actually started. A few minutes later, space birds. Super peaceful game. The clean art style and calming music along with the chirps work so well together. My only complaint is that especially near the end it was kind of challenging to get the next bird. I kind of think the hitbox for the birds should grow over time, or maybe any bird should be able to collect a new one, not just the main bird. But yeah really nice submission, thanks for sharing. My game is linked below if you’d like to check it out.

Foo HeppyBeautiful game! Smooth flying and relaxing music combine create an amazing atmosphere. Even better when the flock gets bigger. The right game to play after a hard day! I love it so much!

14 notes aftervery relaxing, but im not sure how it fits the theme - never mind gave it more of a go and realized that you move faster with the other birds, very nice
Submitted
Shadow ShooterVery simple, but chill game. I like the smooth movement with the mouse and the physics of flying. I didn't know at first if I was supposed to fly into other birds, but when I did, it made the game a lot more satisfying. Great job!

A Loyal SquirePlayed a few rounds, at first I didn't understand what made me fly or why was I always going straight to the ground, so maybe a tutorial would be nice.
Once you get it, it's pretty relaxing, the environment is simple but the parallax makes it look nice as you fly by. The birds are very cute and it is a cool feeling when you get a nice flock (the game over scene gets funnier with a lot of birds too!). I didn't feel like I was flying higher when I had a bigger flock though.
Perhaps the sound once you got another bird could be louder, I noticed a sound playing but it was very faint and only noticeable whe the background song had no notes playing.
Also, a score would be awesome for this one, maybe distance flown or birds in your flock.

Spirits of VengeancePretty easy to do, I didnt get very high, I attempted 3 lives. I didnt get back to the same height the branch was at in the beginning seemed like every time you swooped down and back up it was a diminishing return for the next set of swoops. It was a good concept though thank you for allowing me the opportunity to see it.
Submitted
Union EstateYeah, it was more obvious in development 'cause you would die as soon as you hit the green part. I only changed where the collision was on the last day to make the parallax tree effect look right, so I didn't have time to come up with a solution to not being able to see where the floor is exactly. I figured it wasn't so bad as it's pretty easy to just not fly close to the floor, but there probably should be an indicator. Thanks for the feedback.
