There were a few bugs like the blue panel key not falling, or unclear effects like interaction prompts still there after the puzzle pieces were completed, but I really liked this jam game. The color pallet, the sound, the inability to die all look relaxing, like a really nice slice of an indie game.

Stunning art and amazing music! The birdies I saved were glitching around a lot and I had a hard time figuring out what to do after I saved the first bunch, but it's really nice to look at and I hope you continue development and polish it a bit from the mechanics, this definitely has potential. Great job!

Defying InstinctsBeautiful visuals! You are planning to develop more of this game? I think it is definitely worth it! I think i would want to play game like this!
Maybe as some feedback i would mention that colliders need to be adjusted - then walking bird sometimes doesn't touch the ground. Also maybe some polishing of jump. But it is minor, since it is just short jam game.
P.S. when there is flying animation in the end it looks like swallow, but when walking and jumping it is more like crow or jackdaw.

Sleep, the blackbirdThanks for taking the time to write feedbacks.
We will for sure made a version bug free with all the levels and the polish needed to have the right experience. For the rest who knows ;)
Haha, the goal was to represent swallow birds indeed. Hope the artists will not see your comment on that! :P
Nice tips for the zip file. Didn't think about that before since I was able to make a browser version in previous jam. Fixed. Thank you!
Ooooh, is this a bird game? See a bird game, play a bird game!
I love the art, and the bird animation - the small hops and wing fidgets really made it feel like you were playing a bird! I also appreciated the long cutscene when your bird ascends with the platform.
Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to move the blue box, so I just played the one level. I also noticed that landing on the spikes in the first level had no effects, and when you free your fellow birds, they kind of just drop to the ground and slowly slide off screen. XD
Overall, I enjoyed this experience. I'd be interested in seeing where this goes!

World FlutistThank for playing it!
Yeah the follower birds are a bit "drunk". Do not fly after drinking alcohol kids! Haha.
The blue box should be in the right place right away. The plan was to push it, but the stairs were too straight to make it happens. So it appears above the good platform to avoid extra frustrations.
We will for sure make a more polished version to express our initial intent.
Very nice graphics and general atmosphere! I really enjoyed the way the game looks!
However, the mechanics need some polishing. It would be great to have a bit more visual feedback when certain things are triggered.
Nice Entry!

AstroDriftThe visuals are very striking here, this is an interesting world and you don't see that so often in jam games. It feels like a vertical slice of a much larger atmospheric puzzle platformer. Flying in unison with the other birds is a simple but effective way to evoke the theme. Well done!

Shoot-a-Can Jr.This game is amazing, the music and the art are great, probably the best of the whole jam, if it weren't for the bugs out there, it would be basically perfect, but anyway a very good job, despite everything it is still a amazing game :)

UnavoidableThis game looks really good, I had a few weird bugs with freeing the other birds but it didn't really impact my enjoyment. Awesome work :)

Telephone TroubleThe game looks and sounds really beautiful, but I faced many bugs with the birds.

InseparableThis game looks absolutely beautiful
This is definitely a game that will be able to go far, and I'm excited to hear that you'll be continuing development on it in the future.
Great job, you guys make an excellent team together.
