Cute and simple game, cool graphics, the link between the gameplay and the theme is a bit lacking but the game works, well done!

Had a blast playing this ! Also i turned into fried pigeon :p
I like the spritework, gameplay is solid as well, and i like how you mixed things up with the different patterns of current going through the wire and the blue energy surges that go faster etc... The music is incredible :o you chose it well it complements your visuals perfectly.
Didn't really have any issues here so i don't think i can add anything more.
Well done :)

Point Zero KnightFryDev I burnt my bird can i have another?
Seriously though, there's a lot of thought put into the graphics and presentation, and everything works together really well. I see you made all the art yourself and you have a great eye for visual unity and palette choice! no real criticism at all except for what seems to be a lack of thematic connection, imo. but i had a good time with my bird!

A Single RadishI would say that it does take place on a wire, which connects to an energy source, and the bird does dodge the energy source, but the birds interaction isn't really there besides just getting hurt by it, and it could really be anything dodging many possible types of obstacles. I also do say this with the understanding that my game is not too thematically connected itself (just getting energy from a pickup, essentially). You did make a good game though, I was more trying to think of something thoughtful to say beyond thinking you made a great game!
Cute (loved the little roast bird death sprite lol). I'd have a lot of fun with this as a mobile game too.

Last LightThis game is so cute, I absolutely love the art and the music. The gameplay while simple, I think it is just perfect for a game jam like this. It also really fits the theme and I felt bad when I toasted the poor bird! I would love to see this as a mobile game and play it on my phone.
Great job and good luck! :)
Wow, one of the most creative ideas, it was hard to stop playing, 48 was my best score.

Nuclear ReactionYou guys ’member Rescure Rangers for NES? There was this section in the first level, right before the boss, with naked wires and sparks and stuff. This submission reminded me of that game. I want my childhood back 😭.
