Great work! I enjoyed very much the gameplay and the art style. This interpretation of the theme is not very unique but tbh I found this game one of the best with this concept. Well done.

Well Done! I really like the simple yet fun concept, the simplistic art style and music. The only thing I would change is the falling animation as it is just the idle animation and also disable the shift key in levels without the mirror since you’ll get completely stuck but all in all, Well Done!

Nice game art and color scheme. So is the minimal UI. I wish the environment was a bit more alive maybe with some dust particles. Level design could be improved for more verticality as well. Also I think it would be nice to see faster flapping animation for the player character.

Feel free to hop into my game as well and share your thoughts and ratings if you have the time!

The design concept is really neat! I feel like the amount of time given might've hurt this game a bit in the sense that stuff like the controls and level design and game feel could've been made better given some more time to cook. I really like the little bird sprite! Good job!

Great atmosphere (art/music/sound is *chef's kiss*) and I think the game mechanic with switching between Birbion (great name btw) and objects carries great potential! I feel like the story could be implemented more organically with the mechanic, for example why do the haunted objects help the burglar if they are ment to stop him from leaving etc. Also, intro/outro screen with a little text for context would be nice. All in all great little bite for a game jam, hope to see it developed further!
