  • Short feedback! The game is amazing, just try improving the graphics (quality dithering) after the jam and publish it in Play Store or App Store! It felt like an already finished game! Just fix some bugs and here you go, fully polished video game! Very well done! I wish you a wonderful journey for your next projects!

Amazing game! Had fun all the way to the end. Will be sharing a screen recording of the end that I finished on our discord server :) 

Very well done! I really loved the game. ✨

Loved the minimalist level design but sometimes I thought it was a bit fustrating because the birds moved at the same speed as the player.

Wow! Well done! I had fun playing this game! nice work with everything, the physics, the graphics, theme, sounds etc! I like it that you let the difficulty of the level be there instead of giving the player like 3 lives and making the game super hard. A game doesn have to be hard, if the level is challenging enough that's more than enough to make the game challenging without making it hard per se. But really nice work!

Nice idea! The pigeons sometimes go at the same speed of the balloon, and it's a bit annoying having to wait so much time before going up again

Solid game, though it is a bit annoying when you go up after bouncing and still hitting the spike above

I enjoyed it, the last level was a good puzzle.  I would have loved to be able to return to the start or exit at the end, and a background track would have been a nice touch. Control was responsive and I appreciated that hit box was forgiving.

This reminds me of the minigames in "Mappy" which I LOVE. Really cool game.
