Great job! Love the idea, the sounds, and the visuals! It was cool to fly around as a hummingbird! I see what you mean with being able to fly through the ground, but if I wasn't aware of what was going on, I naturally stayed away from the ground, so the average player might not have noticed. I will say that the collision of getting nectar from a flower was fickle. I saw it once, but then reoriented myself and never saw it again. I wasn't able to collect nectar from one flower :(

Still a fun and relaxing game and a cool start to something special, good job!

Putt it in Orbit

That was a neat and relaxing game! It was really cool to fly around the forest and it seemed to work well in the browser. I wish I was able to make it full screen though as for some reason it was constrained to a tiny view port. Great job on the submission!

Interesting idea with a humming bird having to stop at flower to continue to go. It ran well just a few things that you might be aware of but like to point out. One there was no collission so had it where you go fly under the ground and see it so just wanted to point that out. Next for some reason at times the tree would change design when real close. i know how environment can change as you get closer but it just seem to happen a lot and it would throw things off. Still great job with this.

Thanks. This is my first game. I cant seem to figure out what is going on with the terrain collision. Ive triple checked.

The trophy says fastest sipper but slow and steady seemed like the way to win this marathon.

I appreciate the inclusion of arrows for finding flowers, however I found a better strategy was to increase to the maximum altitude and scan for them by eye.

It's quite a journey to get to the ~~pink cube~~ finish house. I never felt I had enough nectar to spare to try and figure out the rest trees. Which is ironic since they're supposedly for when you're low on the stuff. I also didn't see any bees or any other sort of reason to use sprinting.

It was nice to fly around as a humming bird. I'm not sure if the swaying of the camera makes too much sense, since the bird itself is all about maintaining a stationary position. :)

This is incredibly useful feedback. It touches on my game balance, level design, UI effectiveness, and game feel. I will definitely consider these during polishing. Thanks so much and thanks for playing.

Hi, fellow developer!

It's so funny, our ideas really do overlap a lot. But I'm pleased that there are a lot of games in this jam where you don't have to kill anyone, but just explore the world, immerse yourself in the atmosphere... or just fly to the flowers hah. The combination of our games would really work, they're like sibling sisters :)

Regarding the game itself - at the beginning I had a hard time finding the flowers (despite the hint markers), I was so drawn to fly near the mushrooms hah. But then I got myself together and managed it) It was nice! Great job!

Cozy game and a nice play! But I did fall throw the map, when I got too close to the ground.

Glad I could finally play it! Really chill vibe, and the music fits perfectly — very relaxing. The bird feels great to control. Great job so far, keep going!

Nice game, great concept and works well with the theme. I liked the controls especially, felt smooth. Also the music was simple and relaxing, fit the gameplay :)

I think I have the textures worked out, and the flower objects restored. I also took a look at the nectar harvest. Let me know how it is. Thanks everyone for playing my game!

Thanks. I spent a lot of time fine tunning them.

The tree textures are missing for me too. I like the idea of being a hummingbird though! Cool concept, would be fun to see this one put together.

Unfortunately, the tree textures didn't load, which made everything pink and I couldn't make out the terrain. The colliders also didn't work (I could make my way through the ground). The project needs to be refined.

d1gitaldrift3rDeveloper26 days ago

Thanks for the feedback. I have a temp fix worked out for the shaders. The collisions are still giving me trouble.

MushfakerSubmitted27 days ago

I love the idea! But I wasn't able to collect nectar from the flowers, so I didn't last very long. (maybe I was doing it wrong?)

There is a sphere collider used as a"sweet spot". I will post a screenshot for reference.

Good idea for a game, enjoyed flapping about as a hummingbird - looks like you're already aware of the missing textures and issues mentioned previously.

Submitted

d1gitaldrift3rDeveloper27 days ago

Thank you. Yes. I am working to get it repaired. I am a complete beginner to game dev, but I have some coding background. The shaders for the trees are for Unity's built in pipeline. I have to convert them over to URP.

d1gitaldrift3rDeveloper27 days ago

The flower is is fixed. Still working on the shaders.

Hamster_steveSubmitted27 days ago

Nice game mechanics and the controls feel crisp. Unfortunately you have some missing textures and the flowers are invisible.

I am working on getting it fixed. I lost a few things in post. I am working on geeting it back to normal. Thanks for playing my game.

d1gitaldrift3rDeveloper27 days ago

The flower issue is fixed. Still working on the shaders.
