This is amazing!!! I really really love how the game feels sort of never-ending with the camera pulling out when you're all out of birds and then pulling back in without having to cut to a new scene. It's really seamless! And the flock AI is so believable!! Excellent work all around
The camera zooming out and back in was more or less an unintentional bug from the cinemachine camera and using target groups, but it works surprisingly well.
For the flock AI we used a really good tutorial from Sebastian Lague on Boids as a base and our 2nd programmer did a really good job on adapting and adjusting it for our specific use case. Overall I'm really happy with the result and thanks for giving such nice feedback :D.
Unbelievably, this game gave me both relax and thrill. Great!
Thanks a lot the music really helps the chill atmosphere and the movement of the birds really aids the thrill especially because you want to keep your birds alive to achieve a high score :D.
Relaxing & pleasing, with very good graphics ! 5/5
Thanks a lot our whole team has done an amazing job and especially the music makes the game just that much more relaxing and the models were really well made especially for the given time. Really nice to hear you've enjoyed it so much :D.
Fun game, I really enjoyed how the movement felt , especially when moving the mouse in a circular motion.
Thanks a lot. Yeah seeing the birds move is definetly the most satisfying part about the game :D.
Very interestinc concept of flock system, nice game for relaxing!
Thanks a lot the amazing soundtrack made by our musician really helps the chill atmosphere.
Really good game! Love it. Also the fact, that you can't stand still, since they increase the radius is great! Good job, very fun game.
Thanks a lot for your kind words :D.
I love birds! This flock mechanic was really enjoyable, great job!
Thanks a lot our whole team is proud of our end product and it's amazing to hear so many kind comments from other participants.
Nice execution on an already cool concept! While it's a bit easy to find a dominant strategy (got up to 50+ birbs the 2nd time around), it did hook me for a good while and it's a neat time-killer.
Oh shit 50+, you beat my 38, I’m pretty sure you’re the overall record holder now!
Only fitting that it’s someone who made another birb flock game :P
Thanks for the comment! <3
Like birds of a feather! <3
Very nice presented game. I like the movements of the birds a lot. A less zeppelins and maybe some hints where they appear and it would be a very relaxing experience. It could be extended to fly through some generated landscape making it visually very appealing and even more relaxing.
Thanks for the feedback after hearing some of it, I think less zeppelins and more ballons might have helped to make it easier and perhaps some indicators on where they are coming from might have benn nice too. Nevertheless nice to hear that you've enjoyed it.
That was a fine game! I think more clouds would be great to predict where are the balloon going. I really like the sounds overall, and the birds behavior even if a bit too chaotic was cool to look at.
PS: My high score is 15
I TRIEDThe birds are really hard to control if you move to rapid you have to turn in big curves to keep them together and thx for your kind feedback.
The flock movement looks really great and the art style is clean aswell. nice game!
Thanks a lot. I'm really happy to hear you've enjoyed it :D
Super relaxing. Props to the one that designed the shadows on the clouds really helpful for predicting the balloons. Good job !
I was actually messing around with the lighting hours before the deadline, and was very close to making it come from a very different angle, now I’m glad I didn’t! What a nice unintentional design idea :DThanks! It was a very smart feature that we intended from the very beginning, I’m glad our big brains are being appreciated :)
Loved the sound design a lot in this game !
Music is super great, all fits perfectly together.
Super relaxing !
Let see what are your scores gamers ! :D
Thank you so much! I had a blast making the track.
My personal high score is 38, which I believe is the highest between the team on this build of the game :)
relaxing music and a wonderful game
Thanks for the kind words! <3
Loved the music, this game gives a very calm vibe, i enjoyed it alot. Congraulations!
I’m glad you had fun :D
Music fits well with the game! Art style is amazing.
Thank you so much!!
I LOVE the low poly art style! And however you did the birds flying around the mouse, the AI is great! Good job all around!
I didn’t do the coding, but the birds used a boid algorithm! There’s a really great video about it.
I wondered if anyone else would do flocking considering the theme! I like how chilled out this is despite also being challenging.
Ha, maybe it’s not as original as I thought :D Your take on it is great, we seem to have gone in very different directions with the same base idea.
this is so cute! the bugginess at the start confused me, but you explained what to do really well! this game is surprisingly challenging and i played it for QUITE some time :D
Tysm!! <3 Yeah we were in a mad dash at the end to try and fix it, but something about the web version just didn’t want to play right. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This idea is really clever, and it’s super chill to play! I like it.
It would be cool to see the flocking behavior fine tuned a bit, and adding more to the world, but it’s really great for a jam game.
Well done.
Thank you for the feedback! We had some issues with an artist disappearing on us at the start of the jam, so we had to cut back on our scope a bit, but everything you mentioned would definitely be on the to-do list had we had more time :D
