Review:

Great work for the time allotted! looks very nice and I like the concept and the controls are interesting

Improvement:

I was confused at first that I needed to eat as well, maybe make it more prominent

Thanks, we had a stamina bar initially, but it was a bit too gimmicky to our taste :)

Very interesting game, I wonder if other birds are real players when I played the game. The art looks simple and intriguing, chirp sounds really funny to me. Great work!

PS - I would love to have you reviewing my game too, thanks!

Developer

If you wonder if other birds are real players when you played the game, I guess that means we succeeded into making believable NPCs :) Thanks for your comment!

The birds are very cute! At first I thought I need to fly to some destination, but it seems the goals is to keep every bird on the island alive.

I liked how subtle the game is, and it's beautiful, but it could be more engaging.

I really like how the other birds help each other out and occasionally the player as well. It really makes the player feel like they are one part of a whole. Really nice concept 

Developer

Thanks :)

They all have a personality trait mix (e.g. more or less energetic, altruistic)

Loved the flappy bird-like controls! The low-poly style of the game fit the theming and overall vibes of the art style. The theming kind of felt more self-sacrificing than generosity at its core. Overall, I love the gameplay loop! Amazing job!

I loved how the theme was worked!!

The background visuals were great, everything looked soothing. After winter I left 1 bird behind but I didn’t know how to find them. I couldn’t see any more fallen birds when I sang. What was I missing? Otherwise, beautiful game.

Developer

Thank you,

Birds need to exceed a certain endurance threshold to fly (about 30%), so it's possible for them to be below that threshold without passing out.

Yes worked better on my PC than the Macbook ^^

Really cool game - very relaxing. The presentation is top, especially the bird models and sounds, well done! 

It took me a little while to figure out what I was supposed to do but then the game is also chill enough to not stress the player. I found it still a bit difficult :D

Very well done. Movement felt really really good! Big fan of the environments, the premise - the lot!

I love the game’s tone! It’s a truly warm and beautiful exploration of the theme. Still trying to help all the birds! :)

Nice incorporation of the theme! Had a bit of a hard time at first, but figure it out pretty quickly!

Really interesting take on the theme! I love centring nature in a game about generosity. A little hard to et the hang of but really worth it! 

Developer

Thanks :) 

Yeah, controls are always the hardest to handle

Very well made, though it takes some time to understand how to play. Controls are made pretty good. I liked the low poly cute art style

Developer

Yeah, Tibo made nice models and animations!

The game had a very TGC feel which I loved.
