Cool concept, I feel like if gravity was increased the bird would feel more responsive, or someway to dive or drop quickly.

Cool background, very detailed and colorful. The world feels alive.
The changing camera zoom was disorienting. I would have preferred the zoomed out camera, so I can see myself in relation to the entire scene.
I also got stuck on the ground at some point and was unable to move... I'm not sure what caused that.

Planet of the AviformsHi there. Thank you for your comment & ratings. I am happy that you liked the assets. In deed many bugs I didn't test. The camera zooming was sort of a feature where the player will see the target/objectives just for a few seconds and then, by zooming, he will must remember or discover where to go, but I guess it is not well executed, maybe adding a timer and a "Go" sentence and easing in the zoom? I will see as soon as I can add more to that game. About the stuck situation I will look into it.
The art is really beautiful, well done! It took me some time to understand what I was supposed to do, even though I read everything. The music is nice too!

ChirpChirpChirpThanks man. I've forgot the instructions or at least a tutorial. Now I will try to improve myself on this, not only for this game but for all games I do. The importance of making a nice tutorial than(quoting a guy from GDC channel) has Teach, Comfort, Respect & Excitement for the player. I am starting to think about this so I will be adding to all my games a way, depending on the game, to do this. I am glad you liked it.
I liked the game and its idea! Although I had some problems in the beginning as I could not start the game, and was stuck in the title screen for a bit. But everything else was on point!

Rocket MayhemAfter a few tries I figured of what to do and I made it to lvl8. Solid graphics, sounds and game play. Good job :)

Slip N' FishNice Game!
One small issue is that the camera zooms in ater a while, making the game much less pleasant to play

We Like Watching BirdsThank you Mousemysak. This is related to lack of instructions, which I totally forgot. The idea was "delaying the camera zoom between the targets creation + play time", so the player has some seconds to see the point A and B, but as this is a prototype there is many more ideas I can come with. So far I feel the gameplay is a bit repetitive and lack of fun after some minutes playing. But I hope I did a good job as my first jam.
