Lovely and soothing game. The music just makes me want to chill, and the water drop affecting the level was interesting. The camera controls are a bit hard to deal with, since you need to scroll often to even make several blind jumps, and even then you sometimes can't see exactly where you're going. It is also hard to use when platforming on the dead leaves, so I had to just guess and hope that I happen to land on the next platform. I did notice that the branches and the trunk guide the player in the general direction of where they're supposed to go, which is a cool level design choice.

The skip sections are a neat touch to help the player progress, and it is a nice feature to have for those of us who don't have enough time to try out the entire game.

Cute game, and calm music emphasizes this. It helps to think about nature, about the problems of poor birds... Thank you

I really enjoyed it! The relaxing music and the cuteness of the main character made to not care about my multiple deaths.

This is a cool game but I would have preferred a bigger camera view than using ijkl to look around

Developer

Thanks for the suggestion! But personally, I think a smaller camera will make it harder to see some parts of the level, like some hidden paths, especially since this game is a puzzle platformer.

I'm sorry but I think I'm missing something in the tutorial, when I catch the water drop, it tells me to go back, but nothing happens then. Could you tell me what to do then ? (waiting for your reply before I rate it, it looks promising)

Developer

when you go back to where you started, you will see some new wood blocks. Sorry for the unclear tutorial.

Your tutorial is absolutely clear, but I dont see any new blocks appearing ; but I did find a Skip block, so I went for it and could play the game !

The flight physics are satisfying and make it a funny platformer, although it is hard to play with camera and birdie at the same time with the fragile leafs.

Also, my cat tried hunting the little bird, then fell asleep because of the music (piano does that to her).

Thanks for enjoying the game! I'm really bad at puzzle design, and I was worried that my puzzles would be confusing, so I included a skip block in my level. I'm glad that helped!

Also, to avoid misunderstanding, by "go back" I mean go all the way back to where you started. You should see a new tree branch made of wood there.
