Good game, but the difficulty ramps up very fast.

Well done on completing your first game jam! I had a lot of fun playing your game, it controls really well, the animations are smooth, and carrying the bugs feels really satisfying. Great job!

I really liked this one, very original idea that fit the theme! fun variation of enemies and a clear goal.

a few notes: apart from some graphics that can be improved and sound ofcourse, I found it hard to spot at first if a bee was dead, eventually I noticed but at first I always thought it was dead but I guess he stung me and than it died, maybe death of these creatures could have been made more clear but overall it was very fun and original :D

Good job :)

I loved this game. Theme and collectables well done.  I am in awe of the mechanic where you have to keep pressing 'Up' to flap your wing and the enemy behaviors. 

I gave 5 stars to graphics too, because I am a programmer myself and programmer art is what I do. I know the effort you have taken for the graphics ;)

What a fun game! When I first read the controls I was like daaamn that sounds gruesome! And it ended up being a cute game. It definitely needs audio to bring life to the game ^^

I like the idea and controls. The different enemies are cool and it was a fun game to play.

Critic: Like others already said, a warning before the attack of enemy birds would have been cool. And of course it is a pity that you had not enough time for sounds and music. Try to get a flow for effects, It would have taken less than an hour to record implement basic soundeffects if you know how...I made mine on the last day too ;)

Liked your game! very good implementation of the theme!!

The balancing between the point you gain with the enemys death and the points you need are a little off. I thought the levels big to complete, but maybe with the sounds and the music this perception goes away.

Really cool little game, it reminds me somehow of Antz. I really like the variety of enemies and that all had a different designs to them. 

A feedback on the implementation of the enemy bird will be to make some kind of sound or animation or even movement before they about to attack in order for player to know and dodge. I dodge it every time, because I was counting on my head 1.. 2.. 3.. 4 and then dodge.

Overall really good game! Congrats on your Jam

It took a while to get used to holding z, but once I was, the game was actually pretty fun! I'm not sure if it was intentional, but I managed to land on an enemy and it suddenly dropped dead-- if it was, I love that mechanic. Other than sounds and such, I suggest you look into providing alternative control schemes for the player. If you have the time, I hope you can also play my game!

I Love it! Great, simple (to play), and fun game!

The only things I would add are sounds and walking animation then the bird is walking on the ground.
