The game is very simple, but well thought through! The player is helped by geese changing color once it is close to getting in! And you have made clicking on the geese fair for the player! It was satisfying to play! Excellent work!

Hi!
A simple but very nice game! The cheerful audio was a great touch. I really the feather animation when we click on them. I really had fun playing it!
You were making another game right? I'd love to see that one as well!

Hi, thanks for the nice feedback.

No, I didn't have any good ideas in time to make them for the jam, sorry.

I really hope I manage to be more creative for the Triple Trijam :)

I love the animations when we click the birds. It was so fun, so I clicked both geese and ducks.

Simple but effective. I liked how they moved at different speeds; great job!

My best score was 706. The color changing is a smart feature, as it helps players learn the game faster, but it's at the expense of more interesting gameplay.

Developer

To be honest I mainly added that for debugging.

When playtesting I was unsure if I really lost or if the game had a bug. So first I made all the Geese a different color.

I kept that and changed it to a color transition later on because I figured, if I thought it might have been a bug when I lost, surely Players could assume the same.

And it has the added benefit of teaching the game rather quickly, yes.

Might be a bit on the easier side now but I feel games are hard to balance in such a short time.


Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
