Cool concept and great style, but it's very confusing to play. It's not explained that you have to press the buttons over the bird's heads to fly upwards so I had to figure it out. It's also very easy to lose your birds without being able to control it, since they spawn in random(?) positions away from you and can get hit by bricks that wouldn't even hit the main character. There also isn't any difficulty scaling, as mentioned by someone else in the comments, so it gets repetitive fast.

Still a pretty good game though! Just needs some refinement.

The game starts off fun, but it doesn't get any more challenging

Very unique movement mechanic. The way you could collect birds felt very natural and gave a sense of the situation constantly changing which I think makes it very repayable. It also fits the theme very well (in multiple ways). Nice job!

Nice use for the theme!

Pretty challenging to keep track of all things at once, and that's good. Simple fun, well done :)
