This is a great tutorial level if you ever expand on the game later on! It runs players by the mechanics clearly and smoothly. I found it amusing that I could kick the poop around heh. Having different sizes give different mechanics is a great start for some potentially complex puzzle platforming :)

Yeah the movement and animation is still to be worked on :D, Ani (the one who drew the sprites) just didn't have enough time to do animations, it was also her first time doing art for games and stuff, so I animated everything in Godot. That's why it looks a bit janky :D. Thanks for your feedback! And thank you for playing glad you enjoyed it!
I am greatly saddened when the parakeets die. The poop mechanic was nice. Good game for your first game jam :).
As others have said: good job on the pooping mechanic! ;) Congrats on your very first game, and on finishing it in time, nice work! :)
I liked the pooping part haha, pretty original take on the concept :)
Amazing work. Especially considering it's your first game and your first jam! Congrats! Your use of the theme in your idea is well executed! I had a lot of fun playing! Your art is soooooo good. I love the cute little parakeet and it flaps when it jumps <3. I was sucked in right away because I have a lovebird at home. :) My only constructive criticism would be that perhaps instead of dying, maybe the bird is challenged by something else that stops it from progressing... maybe it gets tired....or maybe it falls into a pit of seeds or something and it can't resist staying in there & eating? lol that's a weak idea but you get what I mean. I would love for you to continue with this game. It's too cute! Incredible job. Beautiful, fun game. :)
Feel free to check out my game, Tinker Escape. :)
I can imagine seeing a Parakeet getting distracted in the middle of him doing something, he just goes to sleep :D. Made me think of "Tiny Wings" an old iOS game where the bird just falls asleep when the nights fall and you gotta restart.
And yes I had more levels planned out but just didn't have time since the weekend I wasn't home, and mostly coded everything on the go in a camping car on stops. So it was a good experience! I'm glad you liked my game, thanks a lot for playing it!
Ayy nice concept! it would've been a better game if it had more levels, but it's still enjoyable!
Love poopin
eheh
poop
Also that death is SO VIOLENT DAMN
Really cute game overall, liked playing it! :D
Cute little game! I like how each "stage" had a different ability, though I would have love to explore the different mechanics more. Nice job!
The bird sprite is lovely! I do wish I could see it bigger tho!
Also 10/10 poop mechanic, I am sure I would also have trouble flying under the same circumstances
All in all nice entry!
haha that was fun to jump and poop around ; that bird's health should be checked though, i don't think he should be pooping from the back of his head like that ^^ well done !
Good work for your first project. It was hilariously mean to say "press shift to dash" right before a spike trap, killing me instantly! Good luck for any future projects
It was very cute and fun. I found it interesting how you linked jumping with growth. It seems to have a lot of potential!
It's a great start for your first jam! Also, cool interpretation of the theme too.
