Nice idea here, love it. Flying with a flock feels fun and the AI behaviour is cool. Controls were a bit tricky at first, especially with the mouse sensitivity, but once I got used to it, it was enjoyable. The bird sounds add to the atmosphere. Would be great to see more levels and objectives in the future

I grabbed an explosion sound from Pixabay, but that's it.

Thanks bro. I'm going to get back to it, I think there's real potential here. For the past couple of months I've been scrambling on a comic book I'm doing, but everyone seems to like guiding the flock around.
I think it might be cool to have birds get "picked up" when you fly close enough, and a good challenge might be to try and follow a path through a city while maintaining as many followers as possible.
Good work! I like the hand-drawn cover image. For the 3D art you could pick the hand drawn style to keep it low-poly but with the nice drawn art.
I would really like to play it after some polishing and more of your drawings in the game!

Plif's Speed-PlatformerIt’s a cool idea, maybe you can make birds, goal, and levels.

Preto’s Fly AdventureControls are tricky and it’s confusing what to do, but the birds flocking looks interesting.

So, about Chrystal..Being a bird is SO COOL! I loved divebombing trying to escape those pesky flying rats!
The SFX were a little on the loud side but overall it was a fun time! Unfortunate you weren't 100% during the jam but you can still make this into a lovely little game!
Good submission!

Tiny CompanyInteresting concept and the ai behavior was good. It's unfortunately that you couldn't build it as you wanted due being sick. However, I will recommend that you try to polish this game and focus on the design pillar so that you have a clear vision.

White Blood DefenderPlaying this windowed makes your bird thirst for the dirt in the ground or the fly straight up into the air. There is no in between. Playing in full screen remedies it a bit but doesn't quench its thirst for that sweet sweet topsoil. The swarming behaviors are super cool and its quite fun to try and keep them off your tail. Its unfortune that you got hit with a status ailment during the jam cycle but its quite neat what you did get done.
Good Work!

Clone CrusherI don't know if I was controlling the bird or not, I try to get to the green ring but then it would just fall down. Gald you are feeling better.

Trap Vs RunnerI wasn't able to master the controls, but I like the concept, aesthetic and the bird sounds.
Good job!

SlimebustersCool bird behaviour, could make a fun interactive toy if you expanded and polished

Tiny KingdomsI don't think I was ever able to die, and I could loops back through the rings to keep destroying birds.

Galaxy Pizza DeliveryThere's no real death condition; I just gave people the ability to control a flock of birds and figured it was already kind of fun.
I may expand on it in the future, though. If I give it a sturdier state machine, for both individual birds and a flock, I could pretty easily use this mechanic for an exotic CRPG.
