How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
The game is inspired by BADLAND and you play in a spacy, dangerous world as a strange bird thing. The candles are like "souls" that make newborns when collected.

Nice and simple little game. I liked the multiplying bird mechanic.  It made dying kinda fun and not a big deal.

Nice job on your first game with Pico-8!

Cheers,

Very cute concept, I like it. I wish the newly picked up birds would copy the current trajectory of the bird that picked them up, or rather they all shared it. What happens currently is you pick one up, you don't jump for a while because you're already going up, the new bird falls down because they have no upwards force. 

Also, just wanted to say kudos to you for speaking out against AI image generation on those other entries. As an artist I really appreciate that you care to say something!

That didn't even cross my mind, and it's such an easy fix! Thanks a lot :) Also, cheers mate, it's not art if it was by a machine that stole from people.

I can say that it's just a very good arcade game, I liked it, but I didn't see another world.

I believe the other worlds are all those planets you see in the background. So you're seeing a whole bunch of "other worlds" as you fly past them in space

This is a pretty cool game. Simple and interesting mechanic.

Very cool! I like that you can become the other character, since you spawn more of you. Nice job, keep it up!
