Super nice job! You were able to get a nice looking and playing game out in a really short time, great work start to finish (love the tear :)
Wonderful little toy. I loved the art and the atmosphere. Would be great on a tablet. I didn't realize you could hit the birds. After reading the comments and trying that it became sillier but I was a bit sad that the relaxing gentle atmosphere from before was gone.
Played your game here, it was fun~
Loving the art style and the music was a great choice. Neat little back story and overall fun play.
@merlin4 I've updated the game with a bit more of a "punch" to the hits, screen shaking looked really bad. Also, a few more drop shadows.
The paper artstyle is really cool, overall a very well done and quirky experience!
Loved. <3
Add a little more gameplay maybe?
Adding drop shadows and some screen shake would really add to the experience, but overall a pretty solid entry.
The art style is excellent, and beautiful. I was a bit lost as to my purpose but after the birds flew overhead I knew I had to catch them. There was no menu or quit button. I could see this having different birds that fight back and a high score counter. Good job!
@SheepishGamer Thanks!
@TheCalster The music is called The Sea Beneath Our Feet by Puddle of Infinity:
Couldn't agree with the previous comments more.
Wonderful experience, and would really like to know what music you used!
@radHABiT said it all, beautiful, intriguing and funny, well done
Dang, your artstyle is stunning and the music really adds to the ambiance! I also really enjoyed the fact that you didn't explain the controls- it forced me to experiment and I really liked that.
