  • Well polished entry. Cool mood and audio in general. The concept is interesting and not too hard to understand and thanks a lot of the tutorial. My only slight annoyance was when the bird would get stuck on a little tiny corner and it was hard to get it out. Well done game. A solid entry.
  • This is a very sweet game. The art, colors, and all the visual components were very well done. I also thought the use of the theme was very good. Unfortunately the biggest thing holding back the enjoyment for me is the gameplay. The goose not having any pathfinding made it a bit frustrating whenever they got stuck on walls and corners. And at some parts getting them unstuck was pretty challenging since they run away if you get to close. So a lot of the time I felt like I was fighting the goose trying to get them to go where I wanted. I think a big improvement could be adding a second button to stomp or do a different kind of whistle that would make the goose move away from you instead of towards you, so you have a bit more control. Overall though, fantastic game! Keep up the good work

Probably my favorite game out of this jam, the puzzles are well done and make sense for both characters, the tutorial is perfectly done, the music just fits, the gosling gets less scared of you as the game goes on!!

Amazing work

Very cute bird, I love how the bird gets closer the more you play, smooth controls, cozy warm-hug visuals, good progression, and I would kiss adaptive music, so I love the music in this game. My only gripe is that bird can be as dumb as half a bag of loose change. Overall all a cozy evanescent experience.

I Loved this! Really cute game.

It was really fun to play and the puzzles were perfectly presented, well done!

really followed the theme.

Good touch making the bird a little afraid of the player.

the only critizism i have is that the whistle tones should have harmonized more with each other, so it would be nicer to listen to for a prolonged period of time. And maybe having a bit more varied obstacles.

You did this all by yourself!? This is such an adorable and fun game. Great job!

This is such a cute and fun game/puzzler. The pathfinding was a tad scuffed, but on the whole, it all came together in a magnificent game. Superb!

Really cute adaption of the theme.


Graphics, sound and the day/ night cycle feel very good.

From a game design perspective I love how it teaches you the core mechanics one by one without being confusing.

What a little silly goose of a game!

The atmosphere was super sweet and endearing. The whistle and goose mewls were quite cute, albeit a bit repetitive if you spammed the whistle too much. Although it never got annoying.
There were a few glitchy collision boxes along the way to the top, but getting those sweet hearts at the end was worth it all.
Great little game, solid work. :)
