having a unique loading circle is really awesome. i was kinda confused at first trying to click the volume stuff and it jumping me right into the game. feels odd to have mouse register on a keyboard or controller only input. sound effects were fun! reminded me of yoshi's island. collecting bananas especially felt satisfying, made me want to collect every single one. music was also fun, different tracks felt distinct the way different tracks in mario kart might, but it kinda sounded like i was on a nintendo playlist than an ost for the specific environment, even if it was fitting the vibe. but they were fun and kept the game not sounding too repetitive which i imagine was the aim. i wasn't prepared to have my other hand on the keyboard for J so that was a bit awkward. i like that things feel fast and snappy once you're moving. feel like the birds could look more evil? idk i thought they could be friendly at first. i can lightly hear them which is cute, but i kinda feel like the moncrew pals could be a bit more audible so you really get to hear that you've got a whole crew behind you. maybe you guys tried that and it sounded really annoying but it kinda felt toooo quiet when visually it looked like it shouldn't. also feel like killing bird button could've just also been spacebar? unless there's a reason which i'll discover later but—at this time after trying to jump on a bird and rescue one of my monkeys the game crashed here.
i had to get task manager to shoot it out back that's how hard it crashed.... tried to play it again and got softlocked here.
so i think that's enough macacrew for today.... i did kind of feel like what was the point of taking down the birds, like i wasn't sure if there was a particular benefit to killing them over just avoiding them besides the satisfaction of it, and i was hoping to get far enough to get a sense for more of the progression but i am a bit impatient and want to give other games a try too.
