Nice game, I was too late to give it a proper rating unfortunately. I like the mechanics, however, the combination of the keyboard (WASD + E + spacekey + arrows) are too far apart. I would consider making for instance the Q button jump as well. And perhaps a bit of a tutorial at the start would be nice. Also it makes me long for more complicated levels, moving platforms, fishes that can be caught for bonus points, a timer for a gold medal... etc. The bird's respawn timer could be a little longer, especially the one coming from below allows me to get to the ceiling quite easily.

thank you so much for leaving a comment even after the jam, I was so excited at the notification!
ooh this is super interesting feedback, lot of food for thought, so thank you! :D
only part of this I’ve considered before (aside from more complicated levels in a vaguer sense) is the bird spawn thing. we were originally going to have it so you can’t use the freeze mechanic until the last freeze timer has ran out, this would still allow for that kind of movement, but it’d be a lot harder and more annoying so less likely to be used. we ran out of time though hahaha! but on the various feedback we’ve got, we’re definitely considering other options too, such as a cool-down or a limit of birds you can have on screen at once.
thank you so much for the feedback, and I’m glad you got some enjoyment from it :D
