How does your game fit the theme "Unconventional Means"?
Classic elements of a typical platforming game were changed to effect the player in unconventional & unexpected means (i.e collecting coins make you die).

Great game! The moment I started playing I immediately liked the music, which gave me a good first impression for the game. The graphics are also really good, as well as the level transitions, and I enjoyed the puzzles / levels a lot too. Your game mechanic was also a neat response to the theme.
I think one of the only issues I found were that, while the whole "twist on the platformer norm" was cool, it began to feel more and more like a regular platformer later in the game (such as how platforms were added that I COULD stand on, kind of taking away from the idea that "in this game, you don't actually jump on the platforms.") Other than that though, I liked this game a lot. Well done!
Wow! This was very unconventional! Liked the sounds, and the art so much! I hope that no birdie was hurt during the jam time! ^^
This is a very fun game! It's always cool to see platformers that break common conventions. I really like the visuals and the sounds (especially the jump sound)! I'm not sure how I feel about the lives system. Nothing about the game felt frustrating so I had no issues with it, but if there were more levels it could make the game a lot more tense. If you work on this more post-jam and add more levels it might be good to also add a way to get extra lives, (maybe every couple of points added to your score gets you an extra life).
Overall, great job!
Nice take on the theme, but I found the introduction of many mechanics to be confusing. For example, walking on air was something that I initially though was me simply walking on ground that I didn't see. The lives system is also very unnecessary for this, and would be better suited with level oriented progression. With a little polishing and improved level design, this could be a great puzzle-like platformer. Good work!
Really enjoyed this one. Clever use of the theme :)
It was really smart to make the player able to walk in the air, really unconventional.
The sounds and music are also good.
Great entry :)
very good sound design! The reversed controls threw me off - maybe that was intentional?
Great use of the theme!! Was fun the way you broke typical platforming rules! xD The art was nice too! Awesome job on this! :D
I really like the idea, but the controls feel abit too slippery and it feels abit random wether you land a jump or not. Great game, I had alot of fun playing
Had fun playing this game and the sound effects were on spot. Overall, a awesome game!
Such a good game. I loved the pigeon sound effect!
I like the sounds and music, especially the jumping sound, but overall the twist didn't make the game play that different from a traditional platformer. Don't jump on the dangerous parts (platforms and coins in this case) and make it to the goal.
That being said, this is still very good for 48 hours, the platforming itself feels good and again, the sounds are great.
Really cool game! I love how unconventional this actually is. A great twist on the platformer genre!
The game feels really well polished and love the art style think it all flows together well. Definitely felt un-conventional was definitely scratching my head on some levels before I figured out the underlying theme. Very cool!
